MORRINSVILLE MARKET LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES LARGE YARDING OF PIGS At the Morrlnsville stock sale yesterday a smaller yarding of sheep came forward and was absorbed under steady bidding at late rates. Steady competition obtained for beef and store cattle with prices showing little change and a ready demand ensured a free sale for dairies. The pig offering was the largest seen at Morrlnsvllle this seasijn. Baconers and porkers changed hands readily at last week’s quotations, and Tor breeding sows and store pigs there was a brisk enquiry.
