LIVE STOCK SALES.
PRICES AT WESTFIELD. PRIME BEEF MAINTAINS VALUES. TIGS DULL OF SALE. At Westfield yesterday there was an average yarding of beef cattle, and a fair demand. Choice ox beef fully maintained former rates, but other grades were somewhat easier. Fat sheep were penned in smaller numbers, and met a better demand. Values of lamb were unaltered. The entry of pigs was smaller than of late, and the sale was a dull one, lower rates having to be accepted. The range of prices, as compared with the previous week, was as follow: — This Week.
