LAMB DROPS HEAVILY. MUTTON EASIBB. (bt oue cohmehcial bdiiob.) There were large yardings in most eection. at the weekly stock sale at Addington. Lamb .bowed a pronounced decline, the quantity out up to auction being far too largo fcr requirements with freezing ooperators not yet in the field. Mutton values too, went back, although to nothing like the came extentTaking them all round, values in beef shewed little, if any, difference from late rates. The yarding of store was a sma. one, and the prices obtained were generally ot an unsatisfactory nature. There wae a large attendance oi buyers and others. / STORE EHEEP. The yarding o: store eheep was smaller than has been the ca £ c at recent saies. The three classes were fairly evenly represented. Bi»ht from the start the sale .aciced spiri}, «r.3 »*lea were difficult to make. Generally speiking lower prices ruled, more especially for ewa an 3 lamba.

The yarding of fat lambs- wae a very large one, comprising 1800, a good deal of which was of a high quality. Last ' week there were 846 forward. Owing to the big penning., tnere were too many forward for butcher.' requirements. The .ale opened at about last week's rates, but after a few pens had been disposed of the price dropped in a pronounced fashion, and never recovered. In a few case 3 the arop was to the extent of' aVrut 9s, but generally it was from 5s to 7e. The top figure was for a line of ten nicely finished lambs from. Mr J.

Between tea and eleven races of fat ahejp were forward—about the same number as w«;e handled last week. 'Like the lambs, ther« were too many fat sheep offered, in consequence of which th« bidding; was anything but keen except for the primest stuff, in thcprices of which, however, there was a decline of la 6a per head. For other qualities the decline was from 2b to 2b 6d a head, although at the oatset of the .ale values were similar to those of the previous week, .butchers showed a preference for shorn eheep, those in the wool boing largely neglected. Most of the sheep penned were Canterburybred, practically the only outside drafts being one from the south and another from the Chatham Islands, these being withheld from last week's auction. A considerable number of eheep were passed in. Values were;— Extra prime shorn wethers 23s 6d. Prime shorn wethers 17. 6d to 20s. Prime woolly wethere 19s to 23s 6d. Medium woolly wethers ..5s 6d to 183 6d. Medium shorn wethers 14s 9d to 17b. Light and inferior shorn wethers lis lOd to 14a. Extra pritno woolly ewes to 22a Bd. Prime woolly ewes loe £d to 17s 6d.
