STOCK REPORT.
Dalgety and Company, Ltd., report: "At Wanganui (6th inst.) we yarded 3500 sheep and 120 cattle. The bulk of the yarding of sheep consisted of lines of full-mouth owes, for which bidding was rather quiet, a number of lines being passed under tho hammer. We, however, effected a good clearance before the close of the day, only about 600 going out unsold. Most of the cattle yarded ■> were weaners, which met with a ready sale. At Waverley (Bth inst.) we had a small yarding of sheep and 270 cattle. We experienced a fair demand for all classes, and succeeded in quitting the bulk of the yarding.
