ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

(by ottr commercial editor.)

There were fairly largo entries of stock, and a good attendance Fat cattle were easieT, owing to a very large yarding. Store sheep wore rather easier; fat ewee showed little or no change, but fat wethers were down Is per head.. Fat jpigs were in poor demand. Good dairy cows sold well, but there was very little- sale for store cattle. STORE SHEEP.

The yarding of store sheep was rather smaller than last week, and hoggets formed the larger proportion, some lines of ewe hoggets being of good quality. The demand was about the same as last week, but values were rather lower. An extra good line of 350 ewo hoggets made 14s to 14s 9d, others 12s 6d to 13s 6d, wether hoggets 8s 6d to 10s, and mixed lines at late rates. A line of three-quarter-bred ewes, chiefly full-mouthed, sold at 14s, halfbreds (of mixed ages) 11s, and aged ewes 8s 6d to 9s 6d. Wethera, of .wliich no forward sorts were offered, made 11s to lls 6d. The sales included the following lines:—Lambs: 125 at 8s 9d, 8 at 9a 9d, 54 at 93 sd, 879 (ewes) at 14s Od, 21 at 9s lid, 20 (ewes) at 12s 9d, 86 do. at 13s 9d, 44 do. at 14s, 40 at 13s 10d, 136 at 9s Id, 29 (ewes) at 12e 2d, 44 (wethers) at 9s Id. Ewes: 83 at Hβ 9d, 70 at 8s 9d, 69 at 143, 36 at lls, 31 at 9s Id. Wethers: 62 at 11% 3d, 28 at lls 6d, 200 two and four-tooth at 12s Bd. PAT LAMBS.

The yarding of fat lambs numbered 1300, and the quality showed a further falling off. Owing to the Home market being blocked there was a limited demand for export, and only 655 were bought for this purpose at prices ranging from 10s to 14s, according to weight and quality; 251 were bought by butchers from 9s. upwards, one extra good pen making 14s lid, and the balance of the yarding was .passed in.' The decline in prices equalled Is 6d to 2s per head. The over-all prices at tho ■works has been reduced, and "are now quoted as follows 361b 4id, 361b to 421b 3*d, over 421b 3id. and "Crown" quality 3|d. The principal eales were:' —For W. F.

There was a very large entry of fat cattle, and a good proportion was of prime quality, the entry being made up entirely of locally-b-red animals. TTie demand was weak, and sales were irregular and difficult to effect. Values all round showed a decline of fully Is por 1001b as compared with late sales, con- and inferior beef being partioularly dull of sale. Prime beef made 19s Id to 21s 6d, medium 18s to 19s, and oow and inferior 13s to 17s per lOOib. Steers realised £4 15s to £10 17s Gd. he-ifors £4 to £9, and cows £4 to £9 2s 6d. Among the principal sales were tho following:—For G. G. Holmes (Knocklyn), 12 steers at £9 15s to £10 17e Gd; C. G. Dalgety (Marshland), 8 steers at £8 15s to £10 17s 6d; E. Skurr (East Oxford), 2 steers at £5 17s 6d, 2 heifers at £G 10s; A. Baxter (East Oxford), 2 heifera at £5 10s; Kennedy Bros (Glentunnel), 14 steers at £6 15s to £8 10s; W. Shipley (Greendale), 1 oow et £6 12e 6d; A. J. Birdling (Landsdowne), 4 cows at £8 2u 6d to £9 ss, 1 steer at £8 ss; Campbell Bros. (Happy Volley), 7 stoers at £8 15s to £10 15s, BoaJey Bros. (Haldon), 1 steer at £8 10s, cows at £6 15s to £8 2s 6d; H. G. Roberts (Itangiora), 4 oows at £6 15s to £9 2s 6d; Cheviot client, 10 steers at £8 5s to £10 2s 6d, 10 heifers at £c 10s to £8; F. and J. Coop (Little River), 12 steers at £6 10s to £8; Mrs Gorton (View Hill Estate), 4 steers at £7 15s.

Fat calves were represented by an ordinary yarding, and the demand ws on a par with recent markets, prices ranging from 4s 6d to Sβ, tho latter price being paid for an animal of extra good quality. STORE CATTLE.

Only a small number of store cattle came forward in the store pens, and of these the bulk consisted of dry oows. For all classes the demand was very weak, few of those present being inclined to make purchases, even at low prices ruling. Three-year etoere realised £5 2s 6d. three-yeaj heifers £3 17s 6d, two-year steers £2 14s to £2 15s, two-year heifere £2 9a, and dry cowe 20s to £3. DAIRY OOWS.

The yarding of dairy oows, which was a small one. comprised a fairly large proportion of useful quality. Except for inferior animals, there was a brisk demand, and nearly the whole of the entry changed hands at prices ranging from £3 to £8 17s 6d. PIGS.

There was a larger entry of pigs than for some weeks past, and for fats the demand was weak, and a dull sale resulted. Small stores, however, met witii a good enquiry. Choppers sold at, £4, heavy baoouesrs 60s to 625, lighter 42u to 5Us, equal to id per lb; large porkers 3tis to 40s, and smaller 28s to ■a'as, equal to 3d to s|d per il>j large st. us 28s to 345, medium 21 a to 335,. tiinatlor 16s to ius, and weaners 12a to Iss.
