LEVIN MARKET.

CATTLE EASIER. There was an exceptionally smalj. yarding of cattle at the Levin weekly sale yesterday, prices, however, on account of the absence of outside buyers, showing' a decline on late rates. The entry of sheep was fair, nothing of outstanding quality coming forward. Lambs maintained late rates, the quality of otlhej lines being such as to make a comparison of prices difficult.

Pork, of which there was a fair yarding, showed an easier tendency, other lines being on a par wiith late rates. Prices were as follow:

Pigs; Small weaners 7s to 10s, average "quality 3.2 s to 17s, stores, small, £1 to 265, good 28s to 335, light porkers 36s to £2, medium to 455, heavy to £2 lis.
