STOCK SALE.
Messrs Dalgety and Company, Limited, report on the spring cattle fair held in the Whakatane saleyards yes- " terday. There was a very heavy yarding, all pens being filled, a special feature being several lines of sta- jji tion-bred Hereford and P.A. cattle |I| of extra good quality. There was a :* large attendance, but the usual quota II! of outside buyers was absent. j'j Prices were affected by the recent [ji drop in .other districts and buyers' ||| limits on station cattle were below sellers' reserves with the result that j|| only a few pens changed hands. There !» was a good clearance of cows and rjj1 rough cattle. !|: We quote: — Heavy fat cows, £2 17s to £3 10s; III lighter fat cows, 25s to £2; store cows 111 22s to 32s 6d; boners, 5s to 17s 6d; forward conditioned, 5-year Short- lj|| horn steers to £4 5s; 3- and 4-year ...
