JOHNSONVILLE PRICES.

Wright, Stcphenson, and Co., Ltd., and Vbiaham and Williams, Ltd., import on the Johnsonville sale held yesterday as follows:—To a full attendance of buyers we submitted an average yarding of a I classes of stock. The quality of the bullocks offered was not up to the yarclings. of late weeks. A few pens of prime heavyweight cattle met with a good demand at late rates, lighter cattle and plainer sorts were easier. Some prime quality heavy cows and heifers were submitted, and met with a. good sale; prices, however, showed a, decline on late rates of up to 10s per head. The bulk of the wethers offered were shorn. There was a poor demand for wethers, prices being easier than last week's rates. Ewes which wore of good quality met with a better sale at reduced limits.
