STEVENS AND GORTON'S TTOCK REPORT.
Our stock sale at Paimerston on the Ist was well filled with a good, class of both cattle and sheep, considerably over 200 of the former and from 1500 to 2000 of the lattar were yarded. The attendance was very good and we had for the time of the year a most successful sale. The bidding for cattle was rather dull but we managed to quit nearly every pen. For sheep the bidding was more spirited and we sold every pen excepting one. We quote as follows :— Small beef , £6 ; fat cows, £4 7s 6d to £4 10a ; forward bullocks, £5 10s : 2J to 3-year steers, £3 7s 6d ; 18---month to 2-year steers, £3 ; 18-month to 2-year mixed, £2 7s 6d ; yearling steors, 375 ; forward cows £3 10s ; fat wethers, 10s 2d ; forward wethers, 8s lOd to 9s 6d ; fat ewes, 7s to 8s 3d ; ewes ia lamb, 6s to 61I ; dry ewes, 6s ; lambs 4s to 4s 3d ; hacks, £3 to £6 10s.
