Freeman R. Jackson and Co.. Ltd., report as follows on their dairy and fat stock sale held, at Wanganui. There were no good fat cattle in, but the fat sheep pens were nicely filled, and there was the usual offering of pigs. A fair number of daily stock came forward, and the attendance of buyers was good. Cows and heifers close to profit were iri good demand, but backward sorts were hard to quit.
