Levin Stock Sales

There was a better attendance at yesterday s .sale than at the vious sale, though dealers seem to be content to wait a while longer before settling down to business for the IN'ew iear. Consequently the sale was a trifle on the slow side. There was u good yarding of cattle and sheep. As usual, anything in good condition changed hands, some fat cows selling up to £7 14s lid. Jj'at wethers realised as much as liJs. The pig market was iirni, and every pun changed hands at late rates. DALGETY AND COMPANY, LIJdITED.
