Our attention haa been drawn to the report by our Ohura correspondent of the Matiere stock gale, which appeared in the issue of December 6th, and in which it was stated that a large percentage of the yarding owing to dull bidding passed into the hands of the auctioneers.

A number of sales were made to outside buyers, and the sale was a most successful one the full capacity of the yards being required.
