LEVIN MARKET.

BEEF EASIER. There was an unusually large entry of cattle at the Levin weekly sale yesterday, the high prices ruling last w.eek probably inducing. fanners to rush stock on to the market. Whatever the reason the result was a steadying of prices, store cattle show- '■ ing a decidedly easier tendency. In beef, the only offerings were fat cows which also sold at a decline on last ' week’s rates. Only average quality stuff was offering, best cows making to £6 15s with others according to ‘ weight and finish. The yarding of sheep was small, but prices were well' maintained, fat woolly hoggets making to 465. Medium quality four-tooth shorn ewes with 1.00 per cent, of lambs made £2.
