STOCK MARKET
SPRING CATTLE FAIR
The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., reports a capacity yarding and excellent prices at their Annual Spring Cattle Fair held at the Whakatane yards. Cattle to the number of between 1500 and 1600 came forward in very good order and all the male cattle attracted very keen competition with yearling Hereford and P.A. heifers not so keenly sought after. Heavy fat bullocks to £10 15s; heavy fat Jersey cross cows and heifers from £6 to £11 10s; Hereford and P.A. empty heifers from £7 to £8 15s; 3 and 4 year Hereford steerd from £9 to £10 ss; 2 year Hereford steers from £7 to £8 10s; yearling Hereford and P.A. steers from £5 to £6 7s; yearling Hereford and P.A. heifers from £3 12s Gd to £4 17s 6d. With the exception of a few pens of yearling heifers, a total clearance was effected.
