DAIRY STOCK AT WESTFIELD

. There was a distinct advance in values, especially in (lie dairy cattle section, at Ihe Westlleid weekly stock sale yesterday. A smaller yarding of cows and heil'ers, with a larger number of good quality cattle, sharpened the demand, and sales were brisk- The general level of. prices for average quality stock was also advanced, while choice springers and recently-calved heifers and cows showed a considerable appreciation in values. The best realisation was £7 2s Gd, for a line type of Jersey heifer. A fair number of second-season Jersev and Jerseycross cows found a ready market, and they were disposed of at prices ranging between £5 and £G 15s.
