THE STOCK MARKET

WANGANUI SALE Freeman R. Jach »n and Co. report as follows on the Wanganui sale held yesterday:—The yarding was only a medium one, except the pig section, which came forward in large numbers, over 150 being yarded. This is the heaviest yarding of pigs we have had this spring, and had vendors notified us of their entries we would have been able to advertise.
