LEVIN SALEYARDS.
SHEEP PRICES SHARPLY DECLINE. The weekly stock sale to-day at the Levin saley.ards was very disappointing. There was a particularly good yarding of pigs, of which porkers sold well, but stores showed a decrease on last week's figures. Medium sheep, of good quality were very prominent in numbers but not in price, the prices for sheep showing a sharp decline, and but few of the offerings secured purchasers. The yarding oif cattle was of the average usually in evidence at this period of the year, and prices ranged accordingly. Tliis week's quotations are given below:— Sheep.—Prime fat wethers 365, aged ewes 5s 9d to 6s Id. " Pigs.—Weaners 5s to 7s Cd, light stores 13s *6d to -275, porkers 30s to £2 6s, heavy ditto £3. Cattle.—Fat cows £4 6s, light fat heifers! £3 15s, stores 29s to 355, forward cows £a 2s to £3 10s.
