FEILDING STOCK SALE.

INQUIRY FOR BREEDING EWES, DAIRY CATTLE IN SHOUT SUPPLY. The market for breeding ewes and store lambs showed an appreciable advance on last week’s level a.t yeoterduy’o stock sale at Eoilding. liwc lambs reached the record price of 655, which was paid for a line of 150 showing very heavy wool. Northern district farinclri were on the market for breeding ewes, especially pens of ewes running with Romney rams, and prices were up a clear 2s per head. There was a large entry of lat sheep, exporters operate a dug in competition with butchers, but prices lor all classes wore down, probably by Li 6d per. bead. Tile Cii|ry of fat cattle, comprised wholly ex-dairy sorts. Except lor specially prime lots prices were moderate. The .dairy cattle market showed a further advance and it is plain there is an unsatisfied demand for winter ealvers. The store cattle, market was practically neglected except for potter cows, which sold at 'ale ratev.
