CATTLE AT FEILDING

The New Zealand Farmers' Co-opera-tive Distributing Company, Ltd., report on the Feilding supplementary cattle fair on Friday:—Owing to prevailing weather conditions numbers yarded were in excess of the demand, which was very dull throughout. The cattle came forward in good condition, but were hard to quit under the hammer, although we were able to effect numerous sales by private treaty. A good yarding of good quality fat cattle came forward and prices were fully maintained on late rates. Only a small yarding of sheep came forward and sold on a par with recent sales.
