FREEMAN R. JACKSON'S STOCK REPORT.

On Wednesday, 15th instant, at our Wanganui sale we had a fair entry. The demand for cattle ■was somewhat better. Several pens of fat cattle yarded were sold readily. Several lines of sheep came forward, which all found buyers, with the" exception of a pen of fat woolly wethers. A few pigs yarded sold in vendors* favour. On Friday, 17th instant, we held a sale of Show stock, etc., at our yardß. The attendance was good and biddiing brisk throughout. For bulls, the prices were hardly as high as last year's sale,

no doubt owing to cattle of all classes being considerably lower in value. Fat Show sheep, bullocks, and cows made full prices, and on the whole we had a very successful sale. . At Waverley on Saturday, 18th instant, several pens of sheep and cattle camo forward, and sold out at late values.
