WANGANUI SALE

Freeman R. Jackson and Co. report as follows on the Wanganui sale held yesterday: The entry in all sections was only a medium one and we had a good clearance at prices firm on recent sales, with the exception of fat sheep, which declined in price on last week’s rates. This wo fully expected, since the export prices arc now announced. To-day’s prices- for fat stock, although lower than what vendors have been receiving, were still above exporters’ limits. The cattle market was a little brighter, and we had a good clearance with better competition than of late.

Cattle. —Fat cows £7 5d to £B. light fat cows £5 15s, £6 to £7, forward cows £5 to £5 10s, Hereford cows £5 15s, 2year P.A. heifers £4 9s 6d to £4 13s 6d, store cows £3 10s to £4 ss, P.A. yearling heifers £3 5s to £3 7s 6d, good dairy cows to £8 10s.
