ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

(BY OIK COMMERCIAL EDITOR.) There were good entries of stock and a fairly large attendance. Fat cattle wore again firmer, store sheep met with a dragging sale, and fat lambs sold well. s'igs were easier. Fat sheep' sold well till towards the close of the sale, when ewes fell" away in price. There wa.s not much demand for store cattle, but dairy cows sold briskly. STORE SHE El. The yarding ot store sheep was com- ! paratively small compared with late eu. i tries, and wethers and ewes formed a i larger proportion. There was „ weak j demand, no doubt owing to feed not being plentiful and sales wero only made at lower rates. Among the entry wero several lines of strong-woolled ewes from outside Canterbury, tun they did not meet with. much competition. Fcrward wethers made 12s to 12s tid, others 10-; (kl to lis (id; lambs 7s [id to Ifc?; six and eight-tooth ewes lis to 11_ -kl, and aged and low conditioned; ewes -"is Id to Bs.
