STEVENS & GORTON'S STOCK REPORT.
liVLia, March 21. During the last ten days at our sales at Bulls and Awahuri, sheep came forward in good numbers especially at Bulls, but at the latter place there was a perceptible drop iv all classes, but prices were firmer at Awahuri, at which place we sold every sheep except one pen of ewes, and nearly all under the haramor. A few head of cattle were yarded at each sale, but prices were no better. The preseut dry weather is effecting: the prices of sheep, but we feel confident we may look for a further rise after rain and the turnips which have been checked a good deal by the drought, have re» ceived the benefit there from. We quote : — At Bulls.— Sheep — Fat wethers, 9/9 ; fat sheep, 8/9 ; forward eweß, 4-tooth to 2-iull-mouth, 8/- to 8/1 ; Bounney 2-tooth ewes, 8/5 to 8/6 ; forward ewes, 6/8 to 7/8 ; ordinary ewes, 4/9 to 5/6 ; woolly lanibß, 5/9 to 6/10 ; shorn, 4/2 to 5/3. Awahuri. — Ewes mixed ages, 7/2 to 8/6; medium ewes, 4/- to 5/1; woolly lambs, 5/3 to 5/8 j.ehorn lambs, 3/6 to 4/6 ; rams, $ga. to 2ga.
