Messts Lowes and lorns, Ltd., report as follows regarding their Pahiatua sale held on Tuesday:—For tho season of the year there was an unusually large yarding of both "sheep and cattle. The sale was conducted under most unfavourable circumstances, rain falling almost incessantly throughout the wholo day. Naturally stock appeared at their worst.
