ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

(fIT OUR CO-UfKRCZAJ- BDITO-t.) There were large entries ol stock, nnd a numerous attendance. Prices generally showed a still lower tendency. Store sheep, in consequence of the continued dry weather, were in weaker demand; fat lambs were also less firm, s and fat cattle, owing to a heavy supply, were easier. Fat wethers showed an improvement, but fat ewes were still '> - further , down. Baconers were also down, but porkers were dearer, and yttores were not quite co keen in demand. Store cattle were dull of sale, but dairy cows were in good demand.

STORE SHEEP. There was again a very largo yarding j ■ cf store sheep, the bulk being lines !. from a distance, including North Island , consignments. The demand Vss de- .' cidedly slack, although some of the ( best lots of two-tooth and good-mouth- ' <d ewes, whose condition was right, •old fairly well and up to expectations, ' -. »nd towards the close of the sale prices V showed arise. The same applies to a few lote of forward lambs suitable for rape, i; T__vel-_toiii-d ewes, low-conditioned §> kmhs, and all descriptions of wethers -'.met with a dull and dragging sale, and \ t »t the commencement a few lots were passed.

FAT SHEEP. There was a fair entry of fat sheep, thero being a larger proportion of wethers than of late, and several lines were of very prime quality. The export buyers were able to operate in wethers, prioes. now having got down to their limits, and the consequence was that they sold better than last week. Ewes, on tho other hand, mot with a dull salo and tlie .aged and inferior sorts s-liowed a still further fall in prices. Tho range .of prices was: — Prime wethers los to Ills lid, lighter 13s to 14s 9d, prime ewes lis to 14s 6d, others 6s So. to 10s 6d. The principal s.alrs were:—Wethers:. For H. H.

FAT CATTLE. There was an average yarding of fat sheep. Tlie yarding of fat cattle totalled about 383 head, a large proportion being prime steers and useful heifers, there being a smaJler number of cows than at some recent sales. Owing to tho heavy entry, the sale was dull and dragging, and did not conclude till late "in tho afternoon. Prices, except for very prime steers and heifers, showed "a decline. Best beef madie 20s 6d to 22s Cd, medium 18s to 20s, and' cow and inferior 16s to 17s 6d per 1001b. Tho range of prices was: — Steers £6 2a 6d to £10 10s, heifers £4 5« to £7 10s, and extra to £8, cows £4 os to £7 os, and extra to £3. Among tho sales were:—For R. H. Barker (lye Bon's). 1-5 Btoers £8 12s 6d to £9 ss. 10 heifers £6 12s Gd to £7 10s; J. Mcßrido (Temuka). 16 steers £7 12s Os to £10 os; \V. F.

Munro (Cheviot), 5 steers £5 12s 6d to £6 15s; W. J. Stoddart (Ashburton), 14 cows £5 to £7 ss. A gocd yarding of veol calves sold at 3s "Gd to 57&. an extra to 675. STORE AND DAIRY CATTLE! The market for store cattle was distinctly easier for anything not of a good sort or colour. A line of 50 threeyear steers sold at £5 9s: 30 18 months Hereford steers and heifers £7 ss; two-year steers £4 10s ;»two and threeymr steers £4 15s Gd; store cows in low condition 50s; store cows in gocd condition £4. Several lots were passed in. Dairy cows sold well at £3 10s to £8 7s 6d." PIGS. There was a fairly lf.rfje yarding of pigs, including a good proportion of prime fats. Baconers were easier, but porkers showed an improvement in price. Stores sold well, but hardly tYpial to last week. Choppers realised up to £4 10s. baconers 50s to 565, and extra heavy to 635, equal to 4id to l.d per lb; large porkers 43s to 48s, ..mailer 35s to 40s, equal to Gd per lb; large stores 30s to 345. smaller 22s to 235, and weaners 12s to 18s.
