SOUTHLAND STOCK MARKETS. [Special to the Star.) TNVERCARGILL. November 19. _ There was an extraordinary lanie yarding of store sattle at- the .usual Wa'llaectown stock sale to-day; in fact, it was the largest forwarded for many months past. The bulk of the stuff consisted of young beasts, values for which wore on a par with those lately ruling. The entry of fat cattle was also a substantial increase compared with that of late sales. Prime ox beef brought 53s 6d per 1001b. a reduction of from 10s to 15s per head on those ruling a fortnight ago. This was duo to the fact that butchers have been buying privately of late, and some are fully supplied. THE MARKETS. . Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, - LONDON. November 18.
