HAMILTON; Wednesday. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, Hamilton, report on their tri-weeldy Cambridge stock sale held yesterday as follows: — Cattle: The fat and store cow pens contained about the usual number of head.

Another full yarding of dqiry cows and heifers came before a large gathoring of buyers. Bidding^ was particularly keen for good sort~ of dairy cows close up, while a good sale was effected also for meditim and poorer quality animals.
