AUCTION REPORT.
Mr P. M. Page reports a good attendance of buyers at the mart on Saturday, when a lot of useful lines were sold at satisfactory prices. Mr Brown’s poultry proved an attraction to buyers, but the birds hardly realised the prices ruling in other centres for prizebred poultry. Good business was also done in horse and cow covers, and all produce lines.
