Greytown Stock Sale.
Messrs Dalgety and Co., Ltd., held their Greytown stock sale on Monday, when there was an exceptionally large attendance of buyers. The chief attraction was the stud and other stock entered by the Trustees of the estate of C. J. Tully. The purebred English Leicester ewes being too forward in lamb to remove from the paddock were not penned, but left open for private sale. The purebred Ayrshire cattle elicited fair competition, but were not in general deinaud, and a number of sales had to be effected privately. Prices for these ranged from eight to twenty guineas, yearling heifers 4 to sAgns, weaner heifers 2*gns, 8-yr bull 12gns, yearlings 4Jgns. Only fourteen of the dairy herd were disposed of prices ruling from £3 10s to £7 ss. The draught horses being mostly pedigree stock and consequently high priced did not sell freely, only one being disposed of at JE33, though .£4O was refused for several others ; light horses reached ;Sl2 to JGI6. On other vendors' account ewes in lamb sold to 20s 3d, hoggets 13s 6d, a line of twelve dairy cows at £±, other cows from £3 2s 6d.
