At Hamilton on Thursday, July 7 (opening sale), we yarded close on 900 head cattle and 1500 sheep and 135 pigs, the entry taxing the yards to their fullest capacity. Bullocks were strongly in evidence, both fat and store, and although practically the whole of the yarding changed hands, it must be admitted that the heavy supply had a steadying effect on the market. Inferior cattle had to stand the test of comparison and suffered not a little. Fat steers made to £l3, lighter weights £8 10s to £lO, fat cows best from £9 10s to £ll 10s, lighter £5 15s to £8 10s, store bullocks 4-year £7 10s to £9 10s, 3 and 3%year £5 5s to £7, fresh condition cows £3 10s to £4 15s, smaller frame £2 5s to £3 ss. Calves were penned ia fair numbers and sold equal to ruling rates, best heifers to £2 16s, others 25s to £2, steers £1 10s to l £2 2s, 6d, smaller 16s to £1 ss. Sheep sold under strong competition and considerable advance on previous rates, best wethers made from 355, good 22s to 255, small 18s Gd to 21s, ewes best to 20s Ba, unfinished 13s to 15s, store lambs small 7s to 8s 2d, otters 4s 3d.
