WANGANUI SALE
At the Wanganui sale on Wednesday there was a good yarding of sheep with a - moderate entry of cattle and pigs. Fat sheep again sold well, and a particularly nice pen of Down-cross 2-tooth s (good prime sheep) made 40s Id. Hoggets in the early part of the isale sold well, but eased slightly as the sale advanced. Fat cattle were inclined to be dull, local butchers evidently having plenty on hand for present requirements.
