The Wairarapa Farmers' Co-op. Association, Ltd. (Stock Dept.), Dannevirke, report on. their usual weekly sale held in the* Miller's Road yards on Friday, the 4th Inst, as follows: — A good entry of sheep and a medium one of cattle came forward. We yarded 1400 sheep, the bulk comprising , lambs, which varied in quality from good to indifferent, indifferent qualities predominating. The market throughout was fairly good, vendors recognising the fact that lower values must be accepted, and met the market. With the exception of one small pen of lambs, we disposed of our entry at prices, we think, in advance of late sales reports. The demand for cattle was only medium, but in sympathy with previous sales reports, and sales were made at prices in favour of purchasers.
