STOCK MARKET.

Messrs Dalgety and Co., Ltd., report as follows:—We held our fortnightly sale at our Masterton yards yesterday, when we had a heavy yarding of sheep of all classes. There was a good attendance of buyers from all parts of the Wairarapa, but bidding was slack. There was & good enquiry for good breeding ;e.w<?s,'; those that were, yarded oeing only medium quality. We quote:— 2 tooth wethers lis 3d, p.m. ewes 8s Id to 10s 3d, cull lambs 3s Gd to 4sJ good lambs 7s 6J, 2 tooth Romney rams 2 guineas, 2 tooth Lincoln rams I 3 to"s guineas, 18-month heifers 20?, 18-month steers 365. cows 30s. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., report on their sales at Pahiatua, Opnki and Masterton as follows:—We handled upwards of 10,000 sheep, embracing all classes at each centre, selling practically all. All sheep met with a better reception, and we have to record a substantial rise all round. Cattle were not well represented, and only those lots which were unreserved change hands. We cannot look for any rise in price un'il serviceable rains make their appearance, and establish good autumn feed and prospects of grass for the coming vvjnter.
