JOHNSONVILLE FAT STOCK SALE.
The auctioneers report: We yarded 64 head of cattle and 650 sheep _ at Johnsonvllle yesterday, the quality of cattle as a whole being particularly goou, but owing to a further reduction by the wholesale companies of 5s per hundred p'ounds, beef showed a corresponding reduction. There was a good yarding of sheep, including some very heavy wethers, but as the wholesale prices of mutton had also been reduced, sheep also were easier. The shorn sheep were light, but sell very well, and we quote: —
