ABRAHAM AND WILLIAMS' STOCK REPORT.

At Palmcreton on Thursday a full yarding of cattle came forward, including several lines of 2£ to 3-year steers, and a good lino of 100 forward 4-year bullocks. Competition for grown steers was fairly good, and ruling rates were well maintained. For any lines of younger steers and well bred yearlings the demand was exceptionally keen. The sheep entry consisted chiefly of hogg<?t6. for which bidding was e<w*ier. The bulk of the entry was cleared at ruling rates.
