FEUDING STOCK SALE.

STORE SHEEP MARKET ANIMATED. SUBSTANTIAL RISE RECORDED.

There was a good demand for fat hoggets at slightly better prices, but ewe and wether mutton declined Is 6d to 2s a’head. The fat cattle pens contained a good but mixed offering of station-bred beef. Bullocks were on a par with last week’s rates female lines being slightly easier, while dairy sorts experienced a good demand.
