There was a large attendance and the yards were well fitted for Newton Kings Ltd’s, sale on Wednesday. The tone of the market was in some respects better than had been hoped for. Dairymen are on the look-out for milkers and are not to be easily put off for such cattle, in good condition. Young heifers, according to condition and quality are also in fair demand, especially where they show traces of Jersey strain. It is noticeable too that practically all the store stock entered, were cleared, though prices did not rise high. A considerable Increase in the output of dairy produce, from this, as well as other districts, is confidently predicted for the coming .season.
