ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

(by oub commekcial editor.)

There were large entries of stock, the yardings of fat sheep and lambs showing an increase upon last week. There was a good attendance. There was a good sale for store sheep, though owes were a shade- easier. Fat lambs sold somewhat irregularly, and, on tho whole, a little below last week's rates. Fat sheep sold without much change from last week's prices. Fat cattle wero somewhat easier, and fat pigs showed eomo improvement.

STORE SHEEP.

The entry of store sheep differed little in point of numbers from that of May 7tb, but would have been much smaller had not a considerable number of oversea sheep intended for the previous week's sale not arrived too late, making it necessary to hold them over for a week. Tho entry consisted largely of ewes, mostly of a very medium class, and in this section oversea sheep were largely represented, many, owing to the rough weather recently experienced, not looking to the best advantage. Tho balance, and much the smaller part of the entry, consisted of lambs of various classes, and wethers, tho latter being mostly of a good class. The demand for ewes was not nearly as strong as at recent sales, and prices all round showed a decline, this being most noticeable in the case of inferior sorts. Competition throughout was sluggish, and some lines failing to reach owners' lesorves were withdrawn. Forward lambs sold at prices well up to recent quotations, but other descriptions wero easier. Tho few lines of wethers on offer were mostly in forward condition, and sold at prices well up to the previous week's quotations. It was noticeable that Southern buyers die! not operate nearly as freely as at a. number of sales during tho past few months. Quotations were:—Ewes: Two-tooth (good) 19s 3d, four-tooth (medium) 15s 7(1, two and four-tooth 14s od, two, four, six and eight-tooth 11s for inferior sorts, to lls 4tl for good, four, six, and cvight-tooth 13s Gd to 16s (a line of exceptionally good sheep of this age was passed in at 21s 3d), four and six--1 tooth 13s 6d to Its 6d, sis and eighttooth 12s Gd for inferior sorts, to" 14 s Gd. and-medium sound-mouth sorts 12a 6d to 13s, Id, full and failing mouth 10s. aged sorts 7s Gd to 8s Gd. culls 5s to Gs, and aged merinos 3s Id, two, four, and six-tooth empty ewes made ■ 12s Sd to 13s.

The entry of store cattle "was a small one, principally old cows in poor condition. Tho demand for all classes was weak, prices being as follow: —Fifteen to eighteen months' sorts £2 Bs, threeyear heifers £5 7s 6d, and dry cows 35s to £5. DAIRY COWS. Only a limited number of dairy cows were offered, a large proportion being of indifferent class. Good cows- again met brisk competition, but other sorts ■wore not sought after. Prices ranged from £3 10s to £10 10s. PIGS. There was a moderate yarding of fat pigs, and the demand showed an improvement on the values ruling the previous week. Choppers brought £3 to £4, heavy bnconers 60s to 755, and lighter 55s to 62s Gd, or equal to sid to s*d per lb. Heavy porkers realised 46s to 495, and lighter 37s Gd to 445, equivalent to s£d to 6d per lb.

Large stores realised 35s to 38s 6d, medium 26s to 345, and small sorts 16s to 255. Weaners brought 8s 'to 15s.
