SLACKER MARKET
STOCK AT FRANKTON SLOW SALE FOR BEEF Lighter entries and slightly lower values characterised the market of the Frankton stock sale to-day. Quality in the fat cattle department was below standard and values suffered as a consequence. A few heavy Friesian steers were traded from £lO to £l2 4s but the bulk of entries was knocked down at prices ranging from £6 to £9 15s. A small entry of cows and heifers also met with a fairly slack market. Although fat sheep were forward in smaller numbers there was no enthusiasm about competition and values in many instances were 3d to Is a head lower. Lambs, however, were in good request and values for this class showed little alteration. The demand for fat pigs was ajgain restricted and values were occasionally slightly lower. Quotations: —Medium steers, £lO to £l2 4s; light, £G to £9 15s.
