The attendance of buyers from j all parts of the coast was large, causing keen competition for several lines resulting in a very satisfactory sale. Though the prices for cattle were low still the bidding was more spirited and nearly everything was sold under the hammer except a few milkers. The classes of sheep yarded wera of good quality in sufficiently large lines to attract buyers, the bidding for the 3000 wethers was keen, the sheep being well woolled and tljey brought good pnces accordingly.
