MOST SECTIONS SMALLER

FAT SHEEP MARKET ERRATIC FIRMER VALUES FOR PRIME CATTLE Most sections were smaller in size at the Lomeville stock sale yesterday, but there was a bigger yarding of fat sheep. This market was erratic, and there was a fairly general decline for most qualities, but prime sheep practically maintained last week’s prices. Other sorts,were about 2/- a head easier. The fat cattle entry was smaller than last week and the yarding met a strong demand, resulting in an improvement of about £1 10/- a head on last week’s prices. There were moderate entries of store cattle and sheep and the sales did not attract much interest, prices being about equal to late rates for these classes of stock. Following are the entries in the individual sections for the- last two October 25 October 18. Fat cattle 130 230 Store cattle 130 375 Fat sheep 1096 648 Store sheep 804 1460 Included in yesterday’s yarding were eight spring lambs, 20 dairy cows, eight vealers and two bulls.
