All stock offered at Levin yards on Tuesday met with keen competition, especially in the case of pork and mutton, which were in short supply, and there was an all-round improvement in values as compared with recent rates, says the Chronicle. The sheep yarded comprised mainly ewes of varying quality* and these were keenly sought after. Primest sorts made up to 25s 3d, the highest price recorded at local yards for a considerable period. Beef prices were firm, with a slight increase on last week’s rates while store cattle met with ready sale at advanced prices. Dairy heifers were again offered in largo quantities, but the demand was better and values, on an average, were 10s per head above last week. The offering of both store and fat pigs was insufficient to meet the demand and prices accordingly showed an appreciable rise. Realisations were as follows:
