WANGANUI STOCK SALE.

At Wanganui yesterday there was a, good yarding of sheep with a moderate yarding of pigs and cattle. The cattle section, except for a few old fat cows and a few pons of growing steers, comprised store cows, values being ou a par with recent sales. The sheep section was strongly competed for, but the agents cannot quote any advance on last week’s rates. The quality was not quite 'up to that of recent yardings, particularly the breeding owes, and if 'anything this class of sheep was slightly easier. Wethers sold well and for good fat and forward sheep there was an advance.
