COMMERCIAL
MASTERTOiN STOCK SALE. Messrs Abraham and Williams report on their Maaterton stook sale as follows:—We had a heavy yarding of sheep, a much larger number being yarded than was advertised. At the start of the sale bidding was dull, but improved towards the close. Inquiry for good breeding ewes was animated, and we sold the whole of the yarding at improved prices. Wethers were also eagerly sought after. The yarding of lambs was large, but of mixed quality, and the sale for these was somewhat dull. Few cattle were penned, and very little business was done at auotion.
