DUVAUCHELLE MONTHLY SALE. A LARGE ENTRY AND GOOD PRICES. There' was a very large yareling at the monthly Duvauchelle Sale on Friday, the yards being inadequate Ito proviele pen accommodation. i There were between 250 and 300 head of fat cattle, some forty bulls, and a large entry of store, cattle, which (brought the total yarding between 700 and 800 head" in all. -. Such a large entry, which probably estal> lishes a record, for the correct figures are not yet ascertainable from the Yard Company, was quite unprecedented, as the autumn feed on the Peninsula this year is very abundant iuid_tfo.c.. district will .probably carry ai larger number of stock than usual through the winter. Prices, however, M'crcgooel for both fat and store cattle, and almost the whole yareling" cleared at auction. I The fat pens contained a large number of prime cow and heifer beef: j but not a large number of fat steers. IA line of 20 bullocks sold by Messrs -Pyne, Gould, Guinness, on account of Moore Bros., brought from £19 to ' £21, and these fine cattle were easily .the best in the yard. Tho competi--1 tion of two freezing companies re- ■ suited in the high prices paid for • j beef, Messrs Borthwick and Co. opera I ting for-the first time for a number 'of years. The steers offered were 'mostly two and three-year-olds, with >'not many, heavier sorts. The spirited - competition, which started early in > the sale, resulted in prices for cow I and heifer beef advancing from 30s Ito £2 per head. Stores met with a • ready sale, and • this is probably ac--1 countable in the fact that many far- : mci's Have more .feed than they imow what to do with. Prices Were well up to ruling rates, and there were a 'number of .remarkably gootl HII2S.
