FRANKTON
All classes of sheep were penned in large numbers at the weekly stock sale at the Frankton yards yesterday, when there was a large number of unfinished lots which did not meet with good eompetition. Prime quality ewe wethers sold up to last week's values, while hoggets were firmer than the previous week. A small entry of spring lambs created a good demand and sold well. Beef was penned in average numbers, but there was not a great demand and quotations were about the same as the. previous week. The large yarding of pigs was eagerly sought after and quotations generally showed a marked improvement.
