Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows:—For the monthly sale there was a very full entry of sheep, but of cuttle there were not many forward. Settlers not having intimated that such quantities of abeep would be at the sale, comparatively speaking few buyers attended—no outside ones,—and the sales that were effected were all to settlers in the district.' A fair number of sheep changed hands at moderate prices, but a large number had to be withdrawn for want of buyers Fat crossbred wethers brought from 8s 9d to 9s 4d; store do, 7s 3d to Ss; crossbred lambs, 4s to Cs; full-mouthed crossbred ewes, 3s to 63. The sale for aged dairy cows was nil, but young cattle reached fair values.
