FEILDING STOCK SALE.

SMALLER YARDING. For the Feilding stock 6alo to-day the yarding of store sheep was particularly small and comprised pens of ewes with lambs and wether and ewe hoggets in small lots. The fat sheep section was also weaker numerically, and ewe mutton was in best supply. There was a fairly good offering of beef in the_ fat cattle pens, and station cattle occupied most of the accommodation. The station store section was lightly represented, and young steers and a few pens of yearling Jersey heifers made up tho entry. Little was offered in tho way of boner cows, but there was a fair offering of dairy cattle, with heifers in best supply.
