Johnsonville Sale

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., and Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report on this week's Johnsonvillc sale as follows: There was a smaller attendance than usual of buyers, to whom we submitted an average yarding of ail classes of stock. There was a very poor demand for cattle, all classes showing a decline on last week’s rates. Heavy bullocks were down 5/ to 7/6 per head, medium and light-weight cattle 10/ to 15/ per head, and there was no demand for heifers and cow beef. Vcalcrs were easier to the extent of 5/ per head. The sheep yarding was of good quality. Prices for heavy wethers were on a par with last week’s rates. Mediumweight and lighter wethers were easier. Heavy owes showed a slight decline, but medium cv.cs were a little firmer. Lambs met with a good sale at late rates. Quotations: —
