SMALL YARDING

AT WESTFIELD VALUES REMAIN HIGH Owing to the train collision at Tuakau and the following Interruption of railway services, a number of trucks containing fat stock (lid not arrive at Westflold to-day. As a result the yarding of beef was small at the fat stock market. Competition was keen for both classes, and values were high. Any fat stock which did not arrive to-day will be sold to-morrow morning. INDIVIDUAL LOTS Steers DRlgety and Co.. Ltd. —On account of C. Proctor, 27. £13 12/6 to £15; B. C.
