FEILDING STOCK SALE.

DAIRY CATTLE IN DEMAND

EWE HOGGETS SELL WELL.

The chief features at the Foilding stock • sale yesterday were found in the dairy cattle and the store sheep markets, there being a strong demand for springing cows and heifers and a bright tale for owe hoggets, which, however, were not in good supply. •Again the fat sheep commanded considerable attention, and the yarding of some 700 sheep sold at late rates, with- several pens of extra prime wethers passings the 24s mark.

Breeding ewes, of which there was a fair offering, brought values comparable with last week’s quotations. Although there wa.s a good offering of run cattle there was not a good demand, and many of the station young stork failed to find buyers. Most of the cattle in the class hailed from the East Coast, notably tlic Gisborne district.

Eat cattle, too, experienced a difficult and unsteady market, and while the good weig’ - y beef was able to command the ruling rates poorer lines were neglected and passings were fairly frequent, A pen of two P.A. cows sold on account F.

AUCTIONEERS’. REPORT. ... The Associated Auctioneers report on the Foilding sale: A good entry of 450 C store sheep again came forward, being comprised principally of breeding ewes of all ages, with several pens of both ewe and wether hoggets. The fat sheep section was also well represented with a yarding of some. 2000 head of ewes, wethers and lambs. The entry of 4500 store sheep did not meet, with as strong competition as was the case at last week’s fixture, ewes of all ages being easier to tlio extent of Is per head at least, the same conditions apply to wether hoggets. On the other hand, ewe hoggets more than maintained the good values ruling at last week's sale, the best lines of ewe hoggets selling at 225, 22s 6d to 25a 6d. Fat sheep of all classes eased in value to the extent of Is per head in comparison with last week’s sale. Run cattle: An entry of 420 head of station cattle were penned, being comprised in the main of females, for which very little enquiry was in evidence: this can quite easily bo understood when taking into consideration the weather conditions experienced over the past 10 days or so. A fairly heavy yarding of 140 head of fat cattle mot with rather a sticky sale, some nice quality being penned, bidding..being very slow, and we report many passings in this section, values all over not being equal to those of last: week. In the dairy section 150 dairy cows and heifers' were submitted. Anvthing showing quality and close to profit sold freely, whereas late calving sorts were not inquired for at any prices.
