The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company offered 2855 sheep and 52 rams at the Blenheim saleyards, *>ut of which number over 2000 sheep and 23 rams were sold. Prices during the earfy part of the afternoon dragged a good deal, owing in a great measure to the strong nor'-west wind blowing at the time of the sale, and the general want of rain, but bidding livened up later on, and fair prices were secured for all good lines:—
