STOCK MARKET.
The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., report as follows:—At our second spring cattle sale there was a very heavy yarding in all classes, the yards being taxed to their utmost capacity. Taken all throughout, the yarding was of inferior quality to our October spring sales, which accounted in a great measure lor the disparity in rates obtained on Tuesday as compared with October rates. Good cattle in either bullocks, yearling steers, or forward empty heifers, found a ready market, but rough sorts all round were difficult to quit. A great proportion of the yarding was passed, and the bulk of the business done privateiy afterwards at the close of the sale; only odd hits were unsold. Sheep were limited tc fats. Hoggets and ewes and lambs a clearance being made at market rates. Light beef steers made £6 6s, cows £5 ss, heifers £5, forward bullocks £5 12s, 3 and 4-year stores £4 10s to £5, 2-year steers 603 to 66a, 18-months 455, yearlings 25s to 355, empty cows 30s to 40s, heifers 37s 6d, bulls 66s to 100s. Ewes and lambs, good, 15s 3d, poor 12s 6d, best hoggets 12s, fat ewes 10s, store pigs 16s.
