ARAHURA fat stock sale. At the above Yards yesterday 90 head of cattle were passed and! the quality was good all round, especially the yarding of Private W. Smith, and rarely have better cattle been seen anywhere on the Coast than those submitted to auction yesterday.

There was not quite the same competition as at- previous late sales as several of the northern butchers have been operating at the Addington Yards.
