PROSPERITY IN SIGHT
BEEP-RAISING INDUSTRY. HOPEFUL INDICATIONS (Special to the Herald.) AUCKLAND, this day. Graziers generally have had little to complain of in tho prices realised for fat stock at Westfield recently, and the steady improvement that has taken place in beef values since the period of low prices last autumn has given rise to a hope that sustained prosperity for the beef-raising industry is in sight. Beef prices ruling at Westfield on Wednesday were on a leval not reached since the seasonal rise in the early spring of 1926, and represent a very substantial increase over those of April of last year. The present rates represent an advance of some £4 in the price of an average-weight steer, compared with last year's prices", and are substantially above the average prices realised for many yea Ts. It is confidently predicted that a further substantial rise will take place during the coming winter, while a review of the conditions contributing to the present position appears to justify the anticipations that beef will continue to bring, a good price for some considerable, time.
