HAMILTON STOCK SALE.
The Farmers’ Co-operative Auctioneering • Co. ( Ltd., report:—
At the weekly stock market in the Frankton yards on Tuedsay last we had a moderate yarding of beef cattle, and competition was keen throughout, the previous week’s rates being well maintained. An average yarding of fat sheep were penned and values declined a little to those ruling at last week’s sale. The usual heavy yarding of f.at pigs came forward, and were in strong demand and values advanced. All classes of stores showed a considerable improvement to the low rates that have been ruling of late.
