Feilding Market Report.

Messrs A. H. Atkinson and Co. report :—About 100 pigs were yarded on Friday. The entry consisted mostly of weaners and light stores. Weaners were easier but for all other classes there was spirited competition. There was a fair entry of horses, the bulk of 'which changed hands. A small entry of poultry sold well.
