Lows and lotas' Stock sei© Report. We held our regular sale yesterday, and although the stock which came forward was in excess of advertised catalogue, it was a smaller sale than usual at this time of the year, the absence of young cattle being most noticeable. All the entries of both sheep and cattle were sold at prices favourable to vendors, notwithstanding the fact that fat sheep are a little easier. The first line of 250 wethers were grand sheep, and realised 17s. Other fat wethers brought Ids 9d to 16a 6d; fat ewea. light weights, 13s 3d ; forward empty ewes, good woolled sheep, 12s; ewes to lamb late, 12s 3d >o 12s 7d ; fat bullocks, rather plaia, £6 10s to £6 ; heifers, light weight, 748 j fat cows, 92s 6d j dairy cows, 65i to 80s; yearling heifers, 355; 2 yrar old heifers, 40s; 2£ year hei'ers, 5 s 6d.
