ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Wbdnesday. A areat improvement was noticeable in the entries of stock at to-day's market Fat sheep and cattle were unusually numerous aad a proportionate increase was al»o noticeable in the other departM«ntK. The slight rain which fell during the forenoon made the yards sticky, and the appearance of stock suffered somewhat. fbe attendance was large, both buyers and sellers being present in good numbers. . . , The following prices may help owners to estimate tht* value of stock. In each rase the live weights are given :—Prime theep of 651b to 701b made from 17s 9d to 18* 6d. orabou 3£d per lb ; prime sheep, of from 6011) to 6olb, made from 16s to 17s in, or about 3|<i per lb; inferior sorts, of 55!b to 601b, made 12s to 13-; 61, or abont _£<• per lb. Other classes of inferior mutton of lighter wfi-ht, in some eases failed to n> eh 2H per lb. Prime ox beef made from 18s io 19s per 1001b, second-rate ditto from . i6-to 17s. inferior and cow be<-f from 13s to 15s 6<" per 1001b. b ic.n pigs made from 37* to £2 10s, 0 r abont 3d per lb. Porkers went from 17s 6d to 255, or about 2id per lb. Fat Cattle.— About 250 head yarded, only a small por'ion of which could be els'—co a ** prime beef. ThK, following on thelarce eivry of i ist salt-d iy. had a depressing effect on the mntket, as buyers did not appear at all anxious to do business. A live of prime builocks from the Smith were well cnmp-tvd for, and made pricesequal to Ills per 10)1!>. Inferior norts Mdcows were very dull of sale, and in gome Crtsps failed to reach los per 100ib. JJbF. C. Taijaht sold for < client, heifers at £11 10-* io £12 IDs.
