ADDINGTON MARKET.

EASIER MUTTON VALUES. OVERFLOW STORE SHEEP PENNINGS. (BY OCB COHMEBCIAL EDITOR/) The notablo feature about yesterday's Adding; ton market was the exceptional store sheep entry. Practically all the uccommoda- j tion in the sheep section was required to hold tho entry, which numbered approximately between 30,000 and 35,000. Considering tho avalanche of stores, the sal© in this section was a remarkably good one. Fat lambs sold at a slightly lower level, mutton dropped substantially on last week, whilst beef waa also on a somewhat easier basis. Tho sheep yarding was on© of tho largest at Addington for some years, and the J 1 "® continued until a late hour cf the day. The broken weather, which doubtless caused an interruption in harvesting, assisted in a larger attendance of farmers than for some time. STORE SHEEP. All tho store sheep section was filled, besides tho unused lamb and fat sheep pens, to hold the etoro "yarding, which was one of the biggest far soma years. The penning included a lot of travelled sheep, the Coasl being well represented. Lines 01 good class ewes wero not numerous, though, tho proportion of ewes was greater than at recent sales. Some Unea of static wethers wero forward, but most of them wero in low condition. With such a big yarding market vaJues naturally were not 60 firm as last week, although there was an excellent clearance of all classes. Good sorts in tho various classes sold freely at. near last weeks figures. Rape lambs and young owes met with the best enquiry, prices for the former comparing very favourably with those ruling for similar quality in tl;o fat lamb pens.', Values wero as under: — ■' Forward rape lambs 14s 9d to 16a Id.

There was scarcely the same freedom about the market as a' whole, though for all handy freezingweights exporters operated at onjv a light recession on last week's basis. <Jenerally> the average price was from 6Jd to 7d per lb,, with loccasional pens making over the even' figure.

A .heavy yarding of close on IS races, the biggest for some time. Wethers were in email supply, and what were forward were generally of a medium character. The preponderance of ewes was much more marked than at recent sales, and show 3 that the season has been very helpful to fanners in getting their old ewes away in condition. The maiket opened quite 2s per head easier than last week, and the movement rather developed l as tho sale progressed. Wethers were lower than last week by close on 2s 6<l per head, and ewes on an average 3s to 3s 6d. Lighter ewes came comfortably within freezers' limits, and the bulk of the low-priced sorts went to them on a basis of from 2Jd to 3d per lb. The passings were very" few, vendors accepting the lower figures prevailing. _ Best wether price was secured by G. C. B. Brice (Birdling's Flat), five tops of a small draft making 80s, ana the next pen of 10 28s 9d. A. Chalmers (Lyttelton) secured tie excellent average of 28s Gd to 29s for 16. J. and P.
