STOCK AND STATIONS.
Since our last report, there has been a heavy fall of snow throughout'the Colony, and it is expected that in many district the loss of stock has been very great, more •especially in the back country. Fine ■weather having set in once more, the fanners will again have an opportunity of getting their land thoroughly fit for agricultural purposes* At the Addington Yards on Wednesday, 5441 sheep, 321 head cattle, and 66 pigs were yarded. Sheep.—The 6heep consisted of tne usual good quality lots of fat cross-breds. There being too a great supply for the requirements of the butchering trade, many lots were passed in to the owners. Good pens of fat cross-breds realised from 12s to 13s each, heavy weights from 13s 3d to 14s each ; several fair lines of medium quality and light weights brought from 10s to lis 3d. We quote 2£d per lb as an average. Cattle.—A very large supply of fat cattle came forward, which suffered a slight drop on last week's prices ; best lots made an average of 27s 6d per lOOrbs, while; fair pens made 25s per 100 lbs.
