DALGETY AND CO.'S STOCK REPORT.

Dalgety and Co., Limited, report having held their usual fortnightly sales at Wanganui on the 30th ult. and at Waverley on the 2nd inst.; also a clearing sale at Fcrdell on account of D. Cameron, Esq. on 29th ult. D. Cameron's clearing sale. —There was a good attendance, and clearance.

At Wanganui we yarded 2500 sheep and a small entry of cattle. All classes of sheep \vere again in good demand. A large portion of the entry consisted of medium lambs, for which the bidding was very keen. Ewes in lamb were also in gocd demand, and sold well up to late rates. With the exception of one pen of sheep and one of cattle we effected a total clearance under the hammer.

At Waverley we yarded 1900 sheep and 100 cattle. Sheep were again in good demand. Ewes in lamb were particularly keen of sale, and prices for this class showed a sharp rise on late rates. A nice line of 4 and 6-tooth eAves in lamb n account of John Coxhead, Esq., made 17s, and a line of 6tooth and full-mouth eAves on account of the same vendor made los. The bulk of the cattle went out unsold. Quotations : —
