LEVIN SALE.

The weather resulted in only' a moderate entry in all classes being yarded at Tuesday’s sale! Pigs were not forward in large numbers, but the sale found all sections selling well, stores being in particular request, and sold from 30s to 36s with the demand unsatisfied. It is certain a good many additional entries could have been placed had they been available. Porkers, too, repeated the experience of last sale, when the inquiry was good. Yesterday’s buyers were just as keen and the yarding was cleared, at a satisfactory rate of prices, the. best classes of porkers reaching to £3 ss, the entire entry being disposed of and competition keen to the end. Sheep were small .in entry, and the sale in this department was very quiet, fat lambs being about the best selling line at 14s 3d. Fat sheep were quitted at 10s, and good hoggets at 6s lOd to 9s Id. Cattle prices showed not much improvement on; the ruling rates of the past few weeks. A splendid line of forward bullocks Was yarded, and were quitted at from £5 2s to £5 9s, and should be good buying at that rigure. Fat cows sold equally as well from £4 2s ,6d to £5 10s for animals in good condition. Store cows were again a drug, but young dairy stock, springing heifers and cows in milk are still good saleable property, qua- . lity animals being well competed for 1 in every case.
