ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

(by our commercial editor.) The yarding in the sheep pens at Aldington yesterday showed a substantia] increase as compared with the previous iveok's total. The attendance of the public was largo, in spito of the not too favourable weather, and the sales wero followed with keen interest. The recent rains w>ro responsible- for the yards being in a rather slushy condition, but consolation was found in the fact that ot this season of the. year they might easily have beoii much worse-. STORE SHEEP. In the store sheep pens the. yarding included a number of northern ow-ee and a few pens of good forward wothors. the balance being made up of lambs and Canterbury owes. There was a fair demand for nil claeees, and prices wero on a par with those ruling during the previous week. For ewes there was a better enquiry, but the few on offer were of an indifferent class. Very forward •wethers realised 15e to 16s, medium 13s to 14s, and light and inferior lls and 12b. Forward lambs brought 10s to lls 3d,, medium 9s to 9s 6d, and. inferior Sβ to 8s 6d.
