Messrs Wkioht, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows: —We held our third sale for this season on Thuisduy laat, 22nd mat. There waa a fair attendance of buyers, wbo competed with great caution, and prices generally were vety irregular, besides being in moat instances rather below the rates current at our Bale a fortnight ago.
