THE STOCK MARKET

WANGANUI SALE

STEADY PRICES AND GOOD CLEARANCES.

Messrs Freeman R. Jackson and Co., Ltd., report a yarding slightly in excess of advertised numbers. The sheep section consisted of mostly wethers, of which some very good lines were offered and on which competition was quite keen; passings were fairly heavy in the cattle section, vendors’ expectations of realisations being above buyers’ limits, but a good clearance was effected privately.
