TE AWAMUTU
The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, Hamilton, report having held their tri-weekly Te Awamutu stock sale yesterday. Fat cattle. Bidding for a heavy entry of both. ox and cow beef was keen, buyers competing- up to values fully on a par with late Frankton rates. The quality was only average, no prime cow beef being yarded. No change on recent quotations is reported for store cattle of which yearlings and 2-year-old heifers of medium condition realised satisfactory values.
