LIVESTOCK MARKETS

MANGAWEKA EWE FAIR. The N.Z. Farmers' Co-op. Distributing Company Ltd, report that the above fair aitracted an exceptionally large attendance of outside buyers particularly from Waikato, Taranaki, Marton and Manawatu. Local buyers were also operating keenly and despite heavy rain which fell practically throughout the afternoon a most successful sale resulted. Among the 5-year ewes competition was keen on all the well-known lines where the mouths were definitely good, and several pens in this section sold up to 20s, the 4-year ewes made up to 225. The 2-tootn ewes attracted keen competition, particularly in the top lines, and these sold from 32s 6d to 355, the latter price for a choice pen ot 209 on account ot Mr. Eric Morton. Taking the sale as a whole it must be considered very satisfactory. The Railway Department and local stationmaster gave every assistance possible with regard to trucks.
