DALGETY AND CO.'S STOCK REPORT. Messrs. Dalgety and Company, Ltd., report.-— On Tuesday, 21st inst., we held our Spring Horse Fair at Waverley, when we yarded eighty horses. The wet weather interfered with some entries coming forward. Competition was brisk for unbroken sorts, the bulk of this class selling under the -hammer. Broken classes were dull of sale, high reserves hampering business. At Wanganui, on 22nd inst., we had a small yarding of sheep and cattle. A clearance was made at ruling rates. At Waverley, on 24th inst., we had a small yarding of sheep and a good yarding of cattle. The attendance" was good. Competition was brisk right through, and practically a total clearance was made under the hammer. The demand for cattle especially was keen, prices according to quality showing an increase on irecent rates. QUOTATIONS HORSE FAIR.
