Dalgety and Co. Ltd., report a lighter entry of fat sheep at the Feilding sale. The price for wethers -was hardly maintained, but'best ewes met strong competition, with a rise on recent rates. Store sheep comprised a small penning of hoggets, one line of good two-tooth wethers, and a. pen of ewes and lambs. Competition in this section was buoyant and sales were made in favour of venders. The supply of beef cattle was again limited, and competition was 6trong with a firming tone. A' fair entry of run cattle was submitted to a large attendance of buyers and prices were very firm with a hardening tendency. Dairy cattle were well represented and a fair sale resulted for forward reliable sorts; backward, low-conditioned cows and heifers met a dull sale.
