FEILDING SALE.

PRICES FOlt STOCK

(Speciafto “Standard.”) FEILDING, Sept. 19. Keen interest was shown at the Feilding stock to-day by a large attendance, but and dairy heifers showed a marked tendency to be “sticky.” There was a decline of about Is 6d per head shown over fat ewes, but a considerable number of other lines about held their own, with only a few passings. Outside interests were not operating to the usual extent. In the dairy heifer section the demand at the outset was dull and a decline of £2 to £3 per head all round ruled. As the sale progressed, however, the inquiry showed signs of recovery, with the result that at 1 p.m. prices had made up a lot of the leeway. Quotations were as follow : Fat sheep.—Woolly hoggets, 17s sd, 20s 3d, 22s 2d, 235, 25s od, 26s 6d; small b.f. hoggets, 16s 3d, 17s 9d, 20s; b.f. two-tootlis, 24s 6d, 265, 25s 6d, 26s 6d; maiden ewes, 265, 27s 6d; other ewes, 18s 9d, 21s Bd, 22s 3d, 23s 2d, 24s 2d, 24s 6d, 25s ; wethers 25s 3d, 25s 8d 28s; maiden ewes and wethers, 27s 3d’.
