STEVENS & GORTON'S REPORT.
We held to-day one of the most successful sales we have had for some time in Palmerston. The attendance was very large, the bidding spirited throughout, more stock was yarded than advertised, and much more could have been disposed of than yarded, as there were buyers from all parts of the coast. We sold every pen of cattle j excepting one or two milkers, and every pen of sheep excepting one of ewes in lamb, passed in at 10s. We quote following rates, which show a decided improvement in the price of cattle :— Beef, £5 18s 6d to *£6 15s ; forward bullocks, £5 12s 6d to £6; 2to 3-yr,steers, £3 14s; 2 r yr heifers, £2 17s fid; cows, £2 6s 6d to £3 12s 6d; milkers, £4 5a to £8; 18-months, •Skiefly heifers, 375; yearling heifers, £1 7s ; mixed weaners, £1 8s.
