The Stock Market.
— -• Messrs Abraham & Williams report: — Yesterday at Palmerston there was a full muster of sheep, the quality greatly varying throughout. Sound - mouth breeding ewes and desirable 2- tooths commanded attention, the bidding at times being animated ; culls and indifferent sorts still remain us dull and difficult to quit as ever.
