BULLS HOGGET FAIR.

Dalgety and Coy., Ltd., report on their annual hogget fair at Bulls: There was a good yarding of hoggets lrom the local tanners, and these were brought forward in good order and condition. Competition for the main lines was very sound, and we report a good sale at prices firm on lalo rates. The fat sheep met good competition and prices maintained late rates. An average yarding of cattle was submitted, there being a very strong demand for the yearling Jersey heifers, and we report a keen sale in this section. For the fat cattle and the dairy cattle there was also a good enquiry, and there was a good clearance at satisfactory prices. A fair yarding of pigs was offered, but here the demand was not so keen and prices were back a little on recent sales.
