LORNEVILLE STOCK SALE

FAT CATTLE PRICES IMPROVEMENT OF ABOUT 25/RECORD PRICE FOR THE SEASON Smaller yardings at the weekly Lorneville stock sale yesterday led to a firm market for all sorts.

This is stated to be a record price for the season. The fat sheep market was a buoyant one with values firm on recent rates. There was a brisk sale all round and in most classes increases on recent values were recorded. The yardings yesterday and those of last week were as follows:—
