WANGANUI STOCK SALE. Messrs Freeman, R. Jackson and Co. report as follows on their weekly Wanganui stock sale: “A far entry of sheep met with good competition and with the exception of cull lambs were firm at last week’s rates. Culls hardly reached last week s high figures, but, nevertheless, they sold very well. A small entry of cattle met a fair sale. Pigs, of which, there was a good entry, were back in price, weaners particularly going very cheaply.” Quotations : —■ „ .
