The advertised line of run cows and I heifers from the East Coast drew better \ competition than was anticipated, in view of the dry season. They were mostly of good quality, and as the vendor early showed a disposition to submit to public judgment Jie was fairly generously dealt with. Polled Angus and Hereford made from £2 12/G to £3 7/ ; smaller frame and second quality £1 16/ to £2 5/ ; aged cows. £1 to £1 10/.
