April £7, 1878. £7O MR F R. JACKSON’S FORTNIGHTLY STOCK REPORT. VvanglUc'i, April 25The prolonged dry weather lias had ja depressing effect on our stock market. The sale; ut Waver ley on Saturday showed this' co a great extent, especially in Rig demand for large cattle. Younger cattle found purchasers at fair values, but: the grown cattle were turned out unsold. I placed all the sheep at satisfactory prices, considering the scarcity of feed. The rain that fell during the last two days revived prices to some extent at the sale to-day, cattle being fully 7 iOs per head dearer. One pen of.largo bullocks were lamed out un-old, the prices ctiered uot.commg up to owners' expectations. Sheep made good prices, all being placed exempt one pen of ewes.
