UNCHANGED VALUES

‘ DAIRY CATTLE IMPROVE. BTOOK AT MORRINSVILLE. FAT SHEEP STEADY. The feature of the stock sale at Morrinsville yesterday was the large entry of dairy cattle which attracted a keen bench of buyers. Moderate yardings were forward in other depart—ments with only a. very slight- supply of fat and. store pigs. Any price changes were slight, values throughout heinvs praCtlcally on a par with those of the previous week. The beer section included a larger :supply of ox which comprised good light to medium steers, these selling readily at prices that were just a shade firmer. Bright competition was offered for a. limited entry of prime quality in the cow and heifer beet department and values fully equal to late quotations were obtained. A full supply of plain and secondarygsorts met a steady ‘ sale and no variations from recent rates was recorded. ‘

An excellent clearance was made in the sale of dairy cattle which. included better quality sorts than the previous sale. satisfactory competition was forthcoming, prices ranging 10 £7 15 for heifers and to £6 105 for

The fat sheep pens were well filled, the entry including a large supply of prime wethers. These sold under a fair demand at price reflecting no reduction in late quotations, the (best line making to '295 6d. Good ewes were in demand at keen values. while an ‘ax‘emge entry or lambs met with fair competition at unchanged Values. No heavy baconers were included in a light entry of fat pigs, but a keen demand was shown for light to medium sorts, which were traded at full late rates. Porkers were quiet of sale. but values were generally on a par with those ruling at Frankton. The very small entry of stores, practically only one full row, stimulated competi—tion and prices rose sharply. Price Summary. The following is a summary of
