The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., report as follows:—At our weekly sale held yesterday at Eketahuna wo submitted a large yarding of all classes of dairy stock to a good attendance of the local public. The specially ■ advertised dairy herd came forward in good order and met with keen competition. These cattle comprised mostly 3rd and 4th calvers and best sorts made from £8 15s to £lO 15s, with the exception of two cows for which calving dates were not available, the herd averaged £9 ss, which must be considered most satisfactory.
