THE STOCK MARKET.

TAIHAPE DAIRY SALE. The N.Z. Farmers’ Co-op. Distributing Co., Ltd., report a yarding of approximately 250 dairy cows at the special sale held at Taihape on Wednesday. The entry comprised the complete herds of various clients who were going out of dairying. Considering the high altitude of the country ort which all these cows were wintered, the majority came forward in excellent condition, and the big entry attracted a large number of outside buyers. Any cows showing good butlerfat records were keenly competed for, and the whole yarding was disposed of under the hammer as follows:
