FEUDING STOCK SALE.

CAPACITY YARDING OF SHEEP. The Feilding stock sale was held yesterday in hue weather. _ The store sheep comprised a capacity yarding, with ewes predominating in numbers, while fat sheep occupied three races. The various sections in the cattle department were moderately filled. It was almost an impossibility for the yarding of sheep to bo penned before 11 a.m., when normally the gates are closed. Yesterday it was approaching noon when the last lorry loads of sheep were unloaded. Lorries laden with sheep were waiting in queues in Warwick Street for a considerable time, and it appeared that the unloading races were insufficient to cope with a yarding of such magnitude. STORE SHEEP. The market for good quality 2-th sheep was very firm, while medium to good lines sold well at late rates. Lambs were a shade easier, there being a big percentage of low quality sheep offered. Among the sales effected were the following :— Aged sheep : Ewes, 110 5-yr on account D. G.
