Big, heavy, plain steer beef was selling from 85s 9d to 40s; cow beef was selling at about 30s to -10s, in a few cases higher; heifer beet was selling anywhere from about 35s Generally speaking the market was 5s a hundred cheaper than the previous week, and there was no doubt that in particular alleyways the sale seemed to be brighter and ' more animated than in others. We have nothing to complain about our sale, as the writer checked our various lots, both as regards weights and the average prices and found thera to be quite compatible with tho best average rates of the day. On a per head basis we quote as follows: STEERSExtra heavy £2l to £'23 17s 6d. Prime £IG 10s to £lB 15s. Medium £l3' to £ls 5sLipht £lO 10s to £l4. HEIFERS— „ . Extra heavy £l3 to £ls <0 ".
