Stock Sales.

WAIHOU. Prices Firm for All Classes. At the Farmers’ Auctioneering Company’s Waihou sale on Friday a good yarding of fat cattle was sold at prices well up to recent quotations. Yearling heifers showed an easing tendency. A small yarding of fat pigs met with spirited competition, values for all classes showing an improvement on last sale. A large entry of stores and weaners also met with keen demand, and the whole yarding was sold at prices on a par with previous sales.

There was a smaller yarding of dairy cattle, competition for all classes being slightly firmer than at last sale.
