demand for export beef
One of the features of the beef market in the metropolitan stock selling centres of the North Island during the past month has been a visible improvement in the demand for beef for export. In the Auckland and Hawke’s Bay provinces this has been specially noticeable, and export buyers have been fairly active at both Westfield and Storfford Lodge. This is no doubt the outcome of the large contract for the supply of corned beef that has been secured at Home by a New Zealand firm. Largo entries and good sales of fat cattle have been the rule in Hawke’s Bay. where the steady tone of the market has been attributed mainly to the operations of export buyers, who have been buying all classes of beef at limits sufficiently high to compete with butchers. One of the most noticeable effects of the buying by these operators has been the levelling up of rates for steer,' cow, and heifer beef, all selling at within a few shillings per 1001 b. of one another.
