ADDINGTON MARKET.

FAT STOCK MARKET EASIER.

•BY OUE COMMERCIAL EDITOR.;

There was a smaller yardinsr of etcck of practically all clr-sres except lambs at the woekly market. The attendance 01 the public was also smaller, and diminished as the day progressed. There v.es a deciino in values in practically all branches of stock, though for the best pens in the various sections of the yarding the values were onl7 slishtly behind those of recent markets. | Anything" of a secondary r.i'.tr'e, however, showed a distinct drop. STORE SHEEP. Th: yarding of etore sheep was about 3<j per cent, below the number at recent sales. The entry was of a mixed description and a considerable number of aged ewes were forward. There were practically no buyers P sent at the commencement of the- sa.e, and transactions were few. The market _ livened up towards mid-dav, and the inquiry for good local sheep was fairly keen, but vendors had to accept lower values than were th| caro a week aso. Gcod three-Q>irterbred owes sold up to 37s 6d. The dragging nature of the sale was due in some measure to the continued snell of dry weather. The marker strengthened somewhat towards the close.

FAT SHEEP. There was .a yarding of about nine races, compared to ten the preceding week.
