HASTINGS FAT CATTLE Moderate Entry of 200 Head QUALITY LINES SCARCE An entry of 200 fat and 600 store cattle came forward at to-day’s stock sale at Stortford Lodge. The fat cattle were of only average quality, with lighter finished and plain sorts principally on offier. Prime sorts were few, particularly with buliiAks.
