FEILDING STOCK SALE.

HEAVY YARDING OF FAT SHEEP, CATTLE ENTRIES LIGHTER. Eor the Feilding stock sale, to-day. a heavy yarding of fat sheep came for-; ward, there being good supplies ot wether and ewe mutton in fairly prime order. Lambs were not well represented in the lat pens. The offering of store sheep was smaller than last- week’s, and comprised one race of medium quality ewe and wether lambs, two pens of 2-tlis and one pen of in.a. ewes. W ethers were penned in small numbers. The ewes were in fair order, hut the wethers were not very well done. Tlieie was nothing of outstanding quality m the store section. In the cattle sections, boner cows were in small supply, while the light entry of station and ex-dairy beef was only' of fair quality. In the station store pens a line of 21-year P.A. steers attracted attention, but here again the section was rather neglected as far as entries were concerned. Two pens or weatier P.A. lieifers came forward. Dairy cattle were offered in fewer numbers and comprised mostly close to profit lieifers. Prices up to 1 p.m. were:Fat sheep.—l3.f., Ids. 14s 17s 18s 18s 2d ; hoggets, 23s : wethers, 13s' 3d 13s 6d, 13s Bd, 14s 2d, 16s Gd, 17s, 17s 3d, 13s 9d; lambs, 10s, 20s sheep.—Wether lambs, 4s 4d, 4s 7d. os Id. 7s fid, 8s Id; ewo lambs, Gs Gd! 14s Id, 14s 4d, 14s Gd, 14s lid.
