Mr Albert Barns' Report.
Wanganui, Saturday. We have held two sales of stock durinff the past fortnight — one at Turakin* on the 29th April, and our regular sal* at Campbelltown on the sth May. Both sales were well attended, and a hirge quantity of stock came forward, m fact the supply rather exceeded (he demand, and m consequence prices were m favour of? purchasers. The weather wag rery bad and unsettled on the 29th April, but a large quantity of stock was disposed of. At Wanganui, everything except on* line of three-year bullocks wai disposed of at or after the auction. SDeaking generally, we should say that prices for store cattle are quite as good for the season as they have been at this time of the year for several years past. Sheep are lower than at this time last year.
