The Stock Market.
o Messrs Abraham and Williams held their ordinary monthly sale of stock at Colytoa yesterday, when there was a very good attendance of settlers and others. The auctioneers repoit that a fair muster of sheep came forward, chiefly confined to hoggets and wethers, the almost entire absence of culls being a matter of comment. The bidding was of a very free description throughout and nearly everything was sold under the hammer. Cattle carao forward in moderate numbers. Heifers backward in calving were not in demand and went home unsold. The prices realised were :— Sheep — Best hoggets, 8s to 9s ; others, 6s 6d to 7s Id ; ewe hog* gets, 11s ; store and forward wethers, lls 2d to 12s lOd. Cattle— Dairy cows, £6 to £6 7s 6d ; weaners, 40a to 4ls ; 18-month steers, £3 10s; 2£year steers, £3 14s.
