ADDINGTON MARKET.

A FULL ENTRY. Considering to-day's sale was the last before the freezing works close down, there was a very full entry in all departments. The store sheep pens were moderately filled. Fat lambs, though not numerous, sold very well. Beef was not so dear as of late. A big lot of fat sheep brought excellent figures. STORE SHEEP. For the most part the entry consisted of mixed lines of hoggets, and there was just as keen a demand as ever, which w;as, if anything, accentuated towards the close of the sale. What would probably be a record price for the yards at this season of the year was paid for a line of 229 ewe hoggets sold on account of Mr G. Witte, Balmoral. They were a nice, well-woolled lot, but of only, average size, and they realised 20/-. Good class ewes were also very much in request.
