STOCK MARKET

FEILDING SALES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) FEILDING, December 16. Though store sheep were represented at today’s Feilding stock sale, the offering was a very modest one, giving little indication of the trend of the market. Fat sheep came forward in good numbers, for which the demand was keen with prices on the uplift. Station cattle were in fair demand with buyers ready to operate where prices were right, resulting in most lines changing hands. Beef sold a little slower than last week, though prices were more or less unchanged, as also for a few head of dairy stock.
