FEILDING STOCK SALE.

EWES IN STRONG DEMAND. Despite stormy weather conditions, the attendance at the Feilding stock sale yesterday was good. Lambs and wethers were i:i short supply, while ewes were in strong demand at higher values. There was every indication that prices will harden for ewes and wethers. Prices for fat lambs showed little, if any, movement cither way. In the beef section- plain unfinished beasts sold comparatively well, and dairy f.tt cattle appreciated in value. A largo number of potter cows wore yarded and prices improved slightly over last week’s rates. The dairy cattle entered were npt up to the standard ns far as quality was concerned, but prices were satisfactory.

Fat ewes were in fair supply, with a few pens of outstanding quality I hero was good competition with a steady sale, the top price being 25s 9d for an exceptionally choice line of heavy ewes, i lie quality of the breeding owe pen was .airly good and competition was sound for rclialiK sorts.
