ADDINGTON MARKET.

Tho fat sheep occupied eight races, an average weekly yarding. Thero was consequently a very firm tono in the market, n.nd all classes of fats showed an advance on the previous week, beef and mutton being especially dear. Tho few 6toro sheep offered met with a limited demand, and there was a dull sale for store cattle of which there was u-n unusually good yarding. Pigs of all classes sold well. STORE SHEET.
