Levin Stock Sales.

There was not much alteration in price,s yesterday. Lambs did not sell quite as well as they did a fortnight ago, but other sheep met with (inn demand at late rates. Cattle sold rather slowly, at no advance in price. There were good yardings of all kinds of stock. "AMONGST THE GJIUNTIiItS." Pigs, of which there, was a large yarding, sold at high rates. As an instance of this, a lino of young pigs that could /it best only bo called porkers wore passed in at the good figure of forty shilings. The present prices are hard to understand, as the milk supply is now very low, and it only goes to show that pigs of good quality are not very plentiful. ABRAHAM AND WILLIAMS, LIMITED.
