The Stock Market.
o Messrs Abraham and Williams report ; Since last report we have held two sales viz, Pahiatua and Palmerston. At the former last Tuesday cattle were numerous and all sold. Sheep in short supply found purchasers at quotations. Yesterday at Palmerston all classes of stock came forward largely in excess of advertised numbers. The lower rates for ' cattle fixed by recent sales prevailed, but bidding was brisker leaving little unsold. Sheep dragged rather though i We cleared all but some hoggets. A moderate entry of pigs commanded full rates. Pahiatua— Sheep: Fat ewes in wool, 10s 9d ; ewes and lambs, 9s 6d ; aged do. 5s 6d to 7s 3d.
