Louies and lorn' Stock Sale Report Mastkrton, 23rd March. We had full yards again yesterday at Masterton, 16,000 sheep being yarded and a limited number ofcattle, the latter no doubt being held back for tho special cattle sale to bo held in tho same yards on the 29th inst., when nbout 1200 head will be yarded. Tho sale yesterday opened decidedly flat, improving a little as it progressed, but there was not the life displayed, which hai characterised all previous sales this season, 4000 were turned out unsold, moro than half of which were culled lambs, for which there is no demand this season. Prices generally receded quite one shilling per bead, except in good store wethers, but even for these the demand was not brisk, Cattlo maintained late rates. We quitted about 60 rams at from two to ihree guineas for 2-tooth, and from one to two guineas for aged sheep,
