FEILDING SALE GOOD PRICES RECORDED (By Telegraph--Press Association.) FEILDING, July 29. Considering the bitterly cold wintry weather which prevailed throughout the weekly Feilding sale today there was quite a good market ruling and good clearances resulted. Fat sheep help firm at schedule rates, but for breeding ewes prices stiffened a little, best lines realising higher rates than two or three sales back. Very little stock was on offer in the store cattle pens, and entries were also smaller in the dairy ring, where quality was not so good as last week. Fat cattle made quite a satisfactory sale, some young prime conditioned cows and heifers attracting attention. Realisations were:— Sheep: Primest lambs, 21s to 22s 9d; second quality, 19s to 20s lOd; average weights, 18s to 19s; unfinished, 15s 7d to 17s 7d; prime heavy wethers, 26s 9d"
