BURNSIDE STOCK SALES

LARGE YARDING OF FAT CATTLE Mostly ordinary quality cattle were shown in the large yarding sent in for the sale at Burnside to-day, and in consequence values all round dropped in comparison with late prices. On the other hand, the stores met with a satisfactory sale, vealers experiencing an appreciable rise in values The yarding of fat cattle was; a big one: there being 388 head forward. The quality throughout was poor, only an odd truck or two of prime stuff being included in the penning. The market for prime quality cattle was down 15s a head compared with the sale held a fortnight ago, while medium and light sorts dropped about 20s a head.
