ALBERT BARNS' (LATE BARNS AND HIGGIE) REPORT.
The sale at Campbelltown Yards on Wednesday was numerously attended, and the entries of stock so large that several lots of '". she«|> had to be penned up outside. The ••-.'bidding was very .dull at the beginning of •' -the sftle, but was much more active as it went on, andl have to report a good sale. Values for beef are hardening a little and sheep are still improving. ' Store cattle are moving more freely,.but there is not much 1•■ rise in prices. Ordinary store sheep are ■ easier, but good young animals are well competed' for and command capital prices.
