STOCK AT FRANKTON

INCREASED ENTRIES VALUES FOR FAT SHEEP Very heavy entries were yarded in all sections at the weekly Frankton Stock Sale yesterday, and throughout, a very firm .sale was experienced, with late rates maintained and in some cases, bettered. An exceptionally heavy offering- of ox beef met with a ready demand and whilst last week’s top price of £lO iOs was not equalled the enquiry was quite as keen and vendors paid to £lO 5s rot- extra heavy bullocks. Prime medium-weights realised from £ll 15s to £l2 10s, while the small and unfinished sorts made from £8 10s to £9 15s. The demand Tor a large penning of cows and heifers was not as keen as in recent weeks and prices tended to ease a shade. Heavy fat cattle made from £9 10s to £lO ss, while for prime medium cows and heifers from £8 5s to £9 7s 0d was paid. A few runners attracted fairly keen interest realising to £8 15s. Calves were also on offer in small numbers. Market of Fat Sheep In comparison with Tecent weeks the yarding of Tat sheep was a considerably increased one and prices were generally firmer for both wethers and ewes. Extra ! prime wethers realised as much as 2 Bs, • whereas last Tuesday’s highest price was ? 20s 3d. Fat wethers made 6d a head more this week than last but the demand Tor ' the unfinished sorts was on a par with I last sale. An ever bigger price increase ( was recorded for ewes, the top price of 18S od, Tor a pen of young ewes being 4s fid more than the highest price last Tuesday. A line or 2-ths also made ißs I fid. Unfinished ewes made from 9s to 12s | fid. As in the other sections a heavy entry of pigs was auctioned, and sold firmly. ( hat-oners made Isa head more this week \ but late rates were repeated for store pigs. Choppers were also keenly sought Price Summary The following is a summary realised for fat stock at the Frankton yards at the last two sales:—
