FREEMAN R. JACKSON AND CO.'S STOCK REPORT.

At our Wanganui stock sale on Wednesday last we had a fair yarding, viz., 340 mixed cattle, 2100 sheep and 70 pigs. The attendance was good, and bidding fair all round. We disposed of nearly all the

cattle at satisfactory prices. Hoggets sold at advanced prices. All the sheep sold with the exception of a couple of small lines in vendors' favour. Some good pigs yarded sold readily. At the Waver leg sale on Friday, 21st inst., only 300 mixed cattle and 200 sheep came forward. Cattle sold fairly well. £.11 the lines found purchasers except a few odd lots.
