Of the whole number of cattle returned to the Board as 

 weighed, only a section have been actually sold at an agreed rate 

 per stone or per cwt. of live weight, the great majority of trans- 

 actions appearing still to take the form of a head-rate of price, 

 even where the element of weight has helped in closing the 

 bargain or has been resorted to afterwards for the purpose of 

 ascertaining what the price in live weight represented. In the 

 special cases shown below the prices are stated to have been 

 fixed per live stone or live cwt. : —
