JOHNSONVILLE SALE

Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., and Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report on the Johnsonville sale as follows: —

There was a large yarding of all classes of cattle and a small yarding of lambs. Tho bullocks comprised chiefly medium weight cattle with a few pens of heavy weights. Prime cattle met with a good sale, while unfinished bullocks were hard to sell even at prices considerably lower than those ruling last week. The yarding of cows and heifers was of good quality, prices for station-bred cattle being firm on late rates. There was a good demand for well-finished vealers; plain sorts and calves were 2s fid to 5s easier.

Sheep: Only a few pens of well-finish-ed wethers came forward; these met with a ready sale, prices showing no. alteration. Tho balance of the yarding was of very indifferent quality, which met with a dragging sale. The yarding of owes comprised mostly heavy weight sheep with a few pens of light weights. Prime heavy ewes met with a good demand at late rates, but unfinished and plain were slightly easier. Owing to the poor quality there was little demand for lambs, the majority of the yarding being passed in.
