STORTFORD LODGE SALE. The Associated Auctioneers held their usual weekly sale at Stortford Lodge this week, when a good yarding of sheep and a small yarding of cattle were ottered. The beef entry was of very poor quality, but prices realised showed very keen demand. The majority ot the sheep entry was composed of good hoggets, a few pens of ewes with lambs at foot and a small entry of wethers.

The following is a range of prices realised : Fat cows £lO 15s, £8 ss, £7 17s 6d, £6 12s 6d, £7 15s, £11; fat heifers £9 5s to £9 15s; vealer £2 10s, store cows £1 to 30s, low condition Hereford steers £2 4s to £3 10s, vrlg.
