FEILDING STOCK SALE.

FAT SHEEP DECLINE. CATTLE MARKET WEAKER. At the Feilding slock sale, yesterday, fat sheep suffered a setback when, allhough there was a good bench of buyers, prices fell for both hoggets and wethers, of which class there was a heavy entry. The quality on the whole was fairly good, with a few pens of choice hoggets on account Crcaven Bros., Glen Oroua. Apparently the buyers were in need of only moderate numbers, and the over-supply resulted in an off-day for vendors. Ewes also slumped in value, despite the fact that there were some particularly choice lines on offer. The sales effected included the following:— lloggets.—A pen of nine on account W. Williams sold at 21s 9d; 9 on account T. E. Craine at 14s, and 35 on account 11. E. Port at 17s 9d. L. W. Millward sold 12 b.f.’s at 19s 6d. T. Lcen sold five at 17s 3d. D. G.
