Johnsonville Sale

.Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., and Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report on Wednesday's Johnsonviile sale as follows: — In spite of the inclement weather there was a large attendance of buyers present, to whom we submitted a full yarding of all classes of stock. Ihe quality of both cattle and sheep was above the average and a good sale resulted. Prices for bullocks and cows were firmer to the extent of 10/ per head, this being mainly accounted for by the better quality stock offered.
