ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Mondat. To-day's market, although considerably stronger la the fab stock departments, was again very math below the average id point of numbers. Store cattle were represented by about a dozen pens of odd lots, while the store ■ sheep entry consisted of only two or three decent lines. The attendance was much, larger than at last week's sale, and considerably more business was transacted. Throughout the day a slight drizzle fell, which freshened up things a lot, but unless a great deal more rain falls shortly the prospects of feed for stock during the winter months will be any thing but a good on«.

Fat Cattlk—Under 200 yarded, aad nothing startling Iα the way of quality was brought under notice. Fat cows in good condition formed a large part of the entry, while really prime bullocks were very scarce. The eale all through was devoid of life, and buyers did not seem at all anxious to secure anything but bargains, The demand for second-rate aorta was unusually dull, and a number failed to reach owners' reserves. A few prime cows and forward steers excited better competition, and sold at prices almost equal to late rates. Prime beef may be quoted from 17s to 19s per 1001b, and inferior from 15s upwards. Messrs Pyne and Co. sold 20 steers at £417s 6d to £6 15s, 4 heifers at £4 to £4 ss, 1 at £olss, 1 steer at £6 s*, 2 at £4 Ids, 3 at £6 12s od, 7 heifers at £4 5a to £1 15a, 14 at £415s to £5,2 steers at £5 15s 6d, 2 at £4 2s 6d, 8 heifers at £i 15s to £5 ltte.
