O. F. Martin k Co. report :— The cattle sale at Wallacetown on the 19th inst. was only moderately attended, but there were several bona fide buyers, and eveiything waa cleared. Mr Young's mob of 60 head were sold in one lot at 37s 6d a head. A better figure would have been obtained, but the cattle were too wild for paddock purposes* A small lot of 3 year old steers brought 40s. The old merino ewes realised 3s 3d in one lot; The demand for all classes ot store sheep continues, and although the supply is nearly equal to the demand, there is a considerable number changing hands, as the stations are J now weaning and selling off surplus stock. We Jiave sold 2,700 merino ewes, full mouthed and broken, at 4s j 250 inferior do, at 3s ; and are about to close for several other lots at these quotations. Invercargill, March 24, 1873.
