Stevens and Gorton's Report.
Bulls. Wednesday. We have this month up to the present held four successful stock sales.; Jl small sale at Wooidville on the Ist, and com* paratirely large sales at Palmeraton,"" Bulls, and Awahuri, on the 3rd, Bth, and 15th insts, respectively. The attendances were good, and entries of both cattle and sheep satisfactory. . At Palmerston, m - spite of the bad wether, we sold a good many pens of cattle, and every pen' of sheep excepting one. At Bulls the sale was particularly brisk for sheep, and we /sold every sheep (over 1750) yarded. It was, however, dull at first for cattle, but got more, spirited as the sale went on, and we quitted most of the pens. At Awahuri it was just the reverse. The bidding for cattle was spirited and we sold nearly all, for sheep not so lively, but we sold seven pens out of eleven. The following are our quotations : — Woodville.— 3>-yr steeri, £4 7a 6d ; weaners steers," 20a to aSs 1 ; ewes, m lamb, 6s 8d ; lambs, 4s 6d ; 2 to 6 tooth wethers, 7g. . ; Palnaerston^-Fat cow^s; £3 17s 6d; 2^ to B.yr iteers, f,3 17i 6d ; 2-yr steers, £8 ; 18-months mixed, £2 7s 6d ; milkers, £2 10« to £5 ss; 4jand 6-tooth wethers, 8s ; 2-tooth wethers, 5s 9d ; fat ewea, 7s 6d ; ewes m lamb, 6s 9d. . ; .Bhlls .-72^, to 8-yr steorfl, £8 11* to £8 IBs ; 16-mohtbs to 2-yr steers, £2 ss' to £2 15s ; 18-months mixed, J2 7a ;. year* • ling steeri, 355 ; 18-monfcli heifers, 30s ; cows, 30s to 87s 6d ; milkers, £5 ss ; weaners f mixed), 28s ; 2 to 6-tooth [ wethers, 8s 6d to 8s 7d ; ewes, m lamb, 6s Id to 8s 6d; dry ewes, old, 4s lOd; . lambs, shorn, 5s lid to 6s 2d ; latnba, m wool. 6s Id to 7s 7d ; pigs, 10s to 32s 6d ; suckers, 8s 6d. , : Awahuri.— Fat cows, £8 15s; 2to 2J--yr steers. £2 19* ; 18-months to 2-yr steers, £2 15i ; 3iyr steere, i' 3 10s ; 18---montns steers, £2 12s ; mix.cd yearlings. 38s : 18- monts (mixed), £2 Os 6d ; oows, $5s to £2 10s ; milkers, £3 to £4 ; 2 and 4 tooth wethers, 8« 7d ; ewei Ji| lajmbi 7s 8d ; (lrv ewes, 4« 6d to 5» 4d ; lambs,
