FEILDING STOCK SALE.
EASIER TONE PREVAILS. At the Fcilding stock sale yesterday the prevailing uncertainty regarding shipping and tho meat industry generally was reflected in tho tone of tho market for store and fat sheep. In both sections prices fell and the inquiry was weak. In normal times the market would have been steady if not 'bright yesterday on account of tho beneficial rain of this week. Boner cows sold at low values compared with recent quotations, but the few odd pens of dairy cattle made good prices. The fat cattle market was unchanged, while a few pens .of station store cattle changed hands." Values for store sheep and fat cattle were as follow quotations in other sections appeared in yesterday's "Manawatu Standard.": —■ STORE SHEEP. Breeding ewes. —2-th ewm account Mrs C. L.
