At Hamilton yards on Thursday, 15th inst., our entry was smaller than usual, due no doubt to the .-severity of the weather. Bidding however was brisk, and everything with small exception changed hands. No beef was yarded. Store cows and steers were also in short supply, and sold at last week's rates. A good draft of empty heifers made up to £7, although a portion of the line failed to reach the owner's reserve. Yearling steers were in | strong demand at advanced values, j The entry of fat sheep was small and ! was well competed for.
