Commercial.

Messrs Abraham and Williams' Stock Beport. Since last report we hare held two salea, viz., Pahiatua and Palmers ton. At the ifbrmer ;last Tuesday cattle - were numerous and all sold. Sheep, in short supply, found purchasers at quotations. On Thursday 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 we cleared all but some hoggets. A moderate entry of pigs commanded full rates. . r ... ...... Pahiatua.' Sheop— Fat awest in wool, .103 9d ; ewes and lambs, oa -6d; aged dov, 5a 6d to 7s 3d. < .
