At the Feilding stock sale to-day there was a, large yarding of sheep for this time of the year, but competition, except for two or three pens, was very slack.

Other prices were: Fat lambs, 24s 6d, 27s 6d, 28s, 29s Id, 36s 6d; fat wethers, 32s 9d, 38s 6d, 49s- ewes, 25s 6d, 275, 29s 6d, 325; Lincoln goodskinned two-tooth ewes (r.w. Romney rams) passed in at 38s;" medium-class ewes (r.w.
