FAT STOCK STEADY.

MARKETS IN WAIKATO. BEEF .‘Lli'l-iITIA‘ BRIGHTER. l‘.\‘i‘ mus SCARCER. Beef le scarcer. and at the main centres the market. is a shade . atronger for prime quality. Fat. sheep met. a steady trade with values varying according to ‘ auppiy. i Fat. pigs are eoarcer and both ‘ porkers and baconere are dearer ‘ at some centres. ‘ Although there to little change. the market Ia brighter for 'dairy cattle. A sliii'litly brighter tone has characterised stock markets in the \Vaikato' during the past week. This ‘has been. mainly due. lionorcr. to more limited; supplies lillil In the yardlng of better: quality drsrripiions. While supplies? of rat sheep have been maintained.’ smaller si-opc is offered in the beef and [ill-l departments. For stores of all descriptions there has been little. activity and quiet, sales li‘ave' been‘ experienced. The chief activity in the Waikato at present are the clearing sales which are scheduled in heavy numbers this: month. It is apparent that those} due at the rod of the month or at. the beginning or July will be more‘ success- I in] than those which have already taken place. A feature of the week’s ni'tivitirs has been the slight brightening for dairies. choicest animals makInrt :is hiuh as £lO 15s.

A fairl demand has been experienced at thesalryards for dairies with better prices ‘ being obtained at. Morrlnsr‘ille than] at Frankton. lwe Mutton lxporta Lower. I it is not surprising that ewe mutton; etxports during the last seven months: of the 1035—36 season. ended April 30.; show a substantial decrease. Farmers this year have been buying all available ewes as breeding ewes and those farmers with large supplies on hand preferred to send them to the sale-1 yards where they would bring a ‘hisherl premium as breeding ewes rather than sell them at lower figures to export. buyers. The demand for ewes was the most eurprislng feature of the, paslw season. and myes which in other semi sons would have brought only a. t‘cw‘ shillings for export purposes have, thlsi year brought prices ranging up to 30st Killings ‘of ewes totalled only 539.216‘ caresses. ienmpared with 1.009.373 ‘rarcases during the seven months ot‘. ”Rt—37., a decrease of £70,157 rarq cases. Killings nt wether mutton; amounted to 191,995 carrase‘s. whilel lamb killings, totalling 7.276.754 dP-; creased by only 68.60 i rat-cases. Kil—l lings of pork totalled “7.724 rarrasevsw an increase of 90550. The decrease. in lamb killlnzs is comparatively small. “ hen the unfavourable season is taken into consideration. for the phenomenal amount of rain experienced during the past summer made the season the worst experienced for lambs for many} years. ) lee! Slightly Firmer. , The healthiest feature of the stock‘ markets during the \\ eek has been the brighter tone for beef which has been meeting a stagnant market in the \\'ail hate for the past two months. The market. at Westfleld has also been stronzer during the past fortnight.
