Heavy porkera 56s to 725; lighter porkers 50s to 555, equal to 9d per lb. Only a small number of stores were penned, and the yarding included no largo animals. The demand was rather better than last week, probably on account of the smallness of tho entry. Quotations are: —Medium stores 32s to 445; small stores 28s to Bis ; weaners 15s to 20s. *
