Stock Report.
• Messrs Abraham and Williams report :— We have only the Palmerston sale to rtport on this week. A moderate entry of sheep oame forward, cattle in snort supply as usual. Fat sheep were well represented, but most of the lots were more or less uneven. Vendors must realise that unevenly drafted sheep will not suit fat stock buyers at this time of the year, the result being that lower values are > realised. Store sheep were somewhat doll of sale, though values were well maintained. Ewes in lamb of good class were in demand, but only one pen oame- forward. With the exception of a couple of small pens o! eneep, we disposed of everything entered.
