THE LEVIN MARKET.

A SMALL SALE. There was only a small yarding at Levin sale Tuesday, pigs being perhaps the- most numerous section. There was no improvement on the low values of last week, porkers being quitted from 26/ to £2 1/, stores 14/- 40 £l, and weaners 4/ to 15/, with the market not very animated. Sucking pigs for Christmas sold up to 10/. Sheep were only a small section. The yarding more than met buyers’ requirements, and • business was very slack, only a few lines changing hands. Fat cows went as low as 34/ for a Jersey, to £2 11/, good forward bullocks'td £4 3/, and 2-year steers 36/. A good lot of veaiers were forward, but Jhere, was no demand. All the young dairy heifers sold, yearlings from 15/ to 26/, and to £5 10/ v for Jerseys. The entry of dairy cows was-small, a few; sales being made at from £3 to £B.
