SEDDON STOCK SALE.
The N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Agency Co. report holding their usual Seddon stock sale yesterday. There was only a moderate yarding of sheep, their pens comprising shorn and woolly fat ewes and wethers and a few head of cattle.. The first yarding of this season's fat lambs appeared in their pens, and were cleared partly by auction and partly by private sale at an average of 15s.
