The firm is in a position to deal with all kinds of stock, and this .department promises to extend considerably. Prices realised on Saturday were as follows: —Pigs, weaners 9s, slips 15/0. Fowls sold from 2s Gd to 3s. 3d each. Dessert apples 7s to 9s per bushel ease, according to quality; potatoes 8s to 8s 6d per ewt.; onions, 13s per'ewt.
