The attendance of both vendors and buyers was good, and although the prices obtained for stock were not so high as at the first sale, they were considered satisfactory, and in keeping with the general tendency of easing o'f prices for cattle. The yarding comprised stock from all parts Cif the district, and, generally, the sale was considered to be quite satisfactory and showed that the holding of regular stock .sales at Paeroa were warranted.
