Messrs Stevens and Gorton's stock sale report is as follows : — Feilding Friday. Dec 28th. There were about 175 head cattle and 100 sheep yarded. Notwithstanding the very rongb weather, there was |a fair attendance, but the bidding was not brisk. A few lots of cattle were sold under the hammer at the following prices:— Three-year-old steers, L3Gdto L 4 15s ; a pen of light beef was passed in at L 6 12s 6d ; yearling steers, 30s ; mixed yearlings, from 25s to 28s ; female cattle of all kinds are difficult to quit at anything like fair prices. Sheep are not in demand, and settlers prefer bolding to accepting less prices than were ruling a month or six weeks since. Horses, only a few hacks came forward, for which there was but little demand, prices being from L5 to LB.
