MOST RATES MAINTAINED. MORRINSVILLE, Friday. There was increased activity at the Morrinsville saleyards to-day when 1000 breedinq ewes were on offer. Cattle and sheep also came forward in heavy numbers. Little alteration took place in late quotations for the majority of classes. Cow and heifer beef sold well under quite a demand and values generally were on a par with those of last Friday. Unchanged rates ruled for secondary and boner classes. Good demand was shown for a fair entry of dairies, best sorts se under a keen demand. Prime wethers and ewes met a buoyant market, a total clearance being effected at fully Frankton rates. Lambs, after a buoyant market in the last fortnight, showed a return tc truer values. Export buyers operated at reduced limits and prices were not so satisfactory to vendors as last week.
