STOCK MARKET.

The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Ltd., report on their stock sale at Greytown, yesterday, as follows:--We submitted a large entry of sheep of all classes. Bidding was very slow at the start, but improved as the sale proceeded, which resulted in a clearance at sound rates. Cattle were also wetl represented, and vendors realising that cattle were slow of sale, made the reserves easy, with tho result that we succeeded in quitting the whole catalogue.
