LEESTON STOCK SALE.
To-day's stock sale drew a good attendance, but, with the exception of sheep, entries were on the small side. A very healthy tone pervaded the sheep sale, both fats and stores meeting with good competition. There were very few store pigs, and the fats were mostly porkers and- light baconers. The cattle pens held very few head of stock. The outstanding sale in the sheep division was. a line of 152 s.m. ewes sold by the National Mortgage for Mr W. J. Hamilton (Lakeside) at 38/-, to Mr B.
