WAR-TIME UNCERTAINTY
WAIKATO STOCK MARKETS QUIET TONE PREVAILS A quieter tone has been apparent in some sections of the Waikato livestock market, due largely to the uncertainty which existed as to how the war would affect overseas markets. However, it has been reported that the British Government is arranging to purchase the supplies of surplus mutton at present being held in store hi New Zealand, and this, no doubt, will help to restore a certain amount of confidence in the future markets. A noticeable feature of the sales nvxrd the end of last week was the -mqll attendance of the public, but now that the petrol restriction ha-; been partially lifted, more buyers will P' lhnbly be operating. Contrary to expectations, the market l >r dairy cat'le has not been quite as keen a.s previously, but in many cases ihe quality offered has been disappointing. Very few store cattle are coming ■ n to the market at tire present time, hu' prices will probably be governed largely by the feed posftion.
