FEILDING STOCK SALE.

FAT SHEEP RATES HOLD V DAIRY LINES UNSTEADY . Export buyers again took the major part of the offering of fat sheep at the Fetldlng sale yesterday. The offering of percentage of inferior quality lots but with wethers and ewes the quality was decidedly better with the result that values were stronger. The beef market was fully up to late rates with a nice offering which included well finished ' cows and bullocks. Store sheep were yarded in smaller numbers by comparison with late offerings and the market was strong with keen competition for ewes in lamb. The rates for hoggets were strong at last week’s quotations. There was again a large entry of dairy sttock of very mixed quality. Sales were slow at rates in keeping with the bufter- ■ fat quotations. Store cattle, particularly grown beasts, found the market buoyant but for other lines little activity was manifest.
