C.H.B. Values

WAIPUKURAU WEEKLY SALE

CURRENT LOW VALUES PREVAIL With a few exceptions revealing a slight improvement in good quality fat and dairy cattle values, the prices received at the weekly Waipukurau stock sale, held to-day in the presence of a fairly large attendance of faTmers and dealers, were in keeping with the low values ruling of late. There was , a fairly large entry of cattle, also fat sheep, but the yarding of store sheep was not as extensive as usual. Certain it is that beef values are at a very unprofitable price level for pastoralists.
