Messrs Stevens and Gorton's Report.
Bulls, Odober 14, Messrs Gorton and Son report: — We held a more spirited etock sale at Feilding yesterday. Good entries came forward of cattle and sheep. We sold all sheep excepting one pen of prime fat shorn ewes, which did not reach the vendor's reserve of 10s. We sold nearly nil the cattle. The reserves on some steers being higher than ruling rates we had to turn them out unsold. Our quotations are:— Cattle.— Fat cows, £5 ss; springing heifers, £3 18s ; cows in call, £i ss ; cows nnd calves, £4 to £4 7s ; empty cows, £3 10s; milkers, £5 ; 2i year heifers, i' 3 10s; weaners, 20s to 28s f weaners to 18-month £2 4s. Sheep.— Forward wethers, 13/4; store wethers, 12/-; store wethers ana ewes, 10/9 ; hoggets, several pens, various prices, from 8/7 to 11/6 ; ewes with lambs, 11/-.
