FIRM SALE RESULTS

MORRINSVILLE MARKET PLAINER QUALITY CATTLE Good average .entries were forward in all fat sections at the Morrinsville stock sale yesterday, when values usually ruled very firm. In a few instances where there were price changes the market fluctuation was only of a minor nature. In the store cattle were on offer, but the quality cattle department some 300 head of was generally plainer than that of recent yardings, and competition was hardly as keen. A good clearance was effected, however, at satisfactory prices.
