Store Cattle.— Only 90 head of store cattle were yarded, the majority of these being odd lots of dry cows, for which the demand was very limited. Eighteen dairy cows did not oiler much, selection, and only a few changed hands. Pigs. —Nearly 400 pigs were yarded, and there was a considerable falling off in values owing to lack of competition by buyers, who were very scarce. Nothing but the primest corn-fed porkers and baconers realised the prices that have been given for this class lately, and the majority was disposed of at a considerable redaction on late values.
