FRANKTON STOCK SALE

BEEF PRICES FIRM Special to THE SUN HAMILTON, Tuesday. There was an average yarding of beef at the weekly stock sale at the Frankton yards today. The number of fat cows penned was on an average with last week’s entry, the bidding for good quality cow beef being brisk and the prices fully maintained. Light prime beef was very firm at fully late rates. Fat sheep cam© forward in larger numbers and prices showed an increase on ewes and wethers. Prices were slightly easier • for a smaller entry of store sheep. There was a small yarding of both fat and store pigs, the former line remaining on a par with the previous sale, while stores advanced.
