STORES ARE KEENLY SOUGHT
The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company Limited report that at their fortnightly pig sale held in Paeroa on Monday they penned and sold under the hammer on 600 pigs, 350 being fats. Bacon values were equal to kohe and Westfield prices, top price being £4 14s. A sharp rise was registered in the store and weaner lines.
Store buyers once again entered into competition with the fat buyers, causing brisk bidding and lots changed hands freely. A number of store buyers left without being able to fill their quotas.
A few pens in the bacon line were carrying too much condition, which meant that the vendors lost between 4s to 6s per head. Quotations: Bacon pigs, up to £4 14s; heavy porker pigs, up to £3 15s; large store pigs, up. to £3 Is; weaners, up to £2 Bs.
