Clearing Sale At Parua Bay
Commercial
Messrs. Wright, Stephenson & Co., Ltd., report that they held a clearing sale of Mr C. S. Price’s dairy herd at Parua Bay. A good attendance of buyers, including a number from a distance, bid freely for the cows, and as the local purchasers appeared to have fairly low limits, the outside buyers secured the bulk of 'the offering. Several trucks went to the Waikato and some to Te Hana and Maungaturoto. Good cows calving early sold at from £9/10/- to £lO/15/-, latercalving £7 to £9, and backward and unsound cows lower prices. The young stock sold at late rates, as did several outside entries of dairy cows. Young cows in good condition realised up to £lO/15/-; less condition, to £9; late calvers to £6; boners and aged cows, to £3/10/-.
