LEVIN STOCK MARKET.

ADVANCES IN BEEF. There was only a medium yarding of stock at the Levin weekly sale on Tuesday, with the .exception of pigs, which were again well represented, and sold at, -approximately last week’s rates. ” Dairy stock was" inclined to languish, hut this may have been due to the inclemency of the weather preventing the attendance of buyers. The feature of the sale was the strong advance in beef, fat cows making up to £6, for better class sorts. Sheep were in short supply and sold at late rates, with a tendency to hardening in the price of fats. Quotations ware as follow:—#
