In the major sections, entries were smaller than anticipated, while in one department in particular—that for store sheep —the storm resulted in only a few entries coming forward. The f it lamb entry was fairly large, but there was a further easing fn pi Ices, which were from 5d to ssd a pound. A medium entry of fat sheep sold keenly, with an advance of about is a head tor all classes. Fat cattle sold at values much on a par with late rates, although cows and heifers were inclined to be easier. Best beef made to 25s per xoolb, good prime from 21s to 245, heavy from 18s 6d to 21s, secondary 15s to 18s, and Inferior to 14s.
