—«, WANGANUI STOCK SALE. At the Wanganui sale on Wednesday competition was very good on the sheep section, a brisk sale resulting with a. total clearance under the. hammer at prices very firm on recent sales. The store cattle section was only a light entry, a couple of pens of bullocks failed to reach vendors' reserves, as also did a good line of Hereford yearling steers. The dairy section was only a fair .sale, most of the heifers yarded being rather low conditioned, in all probability with a continuance of the present warm .days tin’s class of stock may advance in price.
