BIG PRICES AT AUCKLAND.
By Telograph—Press Association. Auckland, last night.
Sheep and cattle brought high prices at yesterday’s sales, 23s bein3 paid for sheep that recently would have fetched 14s to 15s. In cattle Ll 6 was paid for some fine beasts, and others were correspondingly dear. ,
Messrs Common, Shelton and Co. report : We held our monthly stock sale at Waerenga-a-hika yards on Thursday, when there was a good attendance. Our entries of cattle were 86 head, nearly all of which were cows and heifers. For good cows at profit there was a fair demand, but, owing doubtless to the scarcity of feed, buyers were not inclined to me et owners’ reserves for backward heifers, a number of which were passed at from L 5 10s to L 6 7s 6d. The following prices were realised : Cows at profit, L 8 10s to L 9 ; heifers at profit, L 6 10s to L 6 15 s i heifers due in October, L 5 15s. Sheep : Entries were below requirements, and elicited good competition. Empty ewes, in fair condition, realised 7s 3d to 7s 6d, inferior 6s iod.
