ADDINGTON MARKET.

SLIGHTLY LARGER ENTRIES STEADYING OF VALUES. (ST. OITB OifIiJBCIAL EBIIOE.) Entries in practically ill ccct-.ons o: sW< showed an increase yesterday, -at cattle were forward in irubsUrtiallv increased com-hr-T3, (ho entry providing what would crcinarLly bo an over-sunn'--. Hcwcv.:.-, the short yardincs of the part, few weeks and the fact that country competition is by no means caused a. pood demand, and though v.alues eased slightly, the sale was a very satisfactory one. A flightly larger yarding than iast week 01 tat. .-bc-p also met with a shade easier demand, but nevertheless the sale was an exceptionally good one. The quality of the shorn wcthera and the Xorth Island woolly ewes was of a notably good character, and for this c!a-s buk-bers bid very .spiritedly. On an average the store sheep markrt showed little alteration, wethers and hoggets felling quite aa freely as usual, with inferior ewea ond lambs slacker. The. store cattle section recorded a Tcviva-I, but the dairy sale v.-as devoid of interest. The day was fine, and there was a, large attendance of farmers, STORE SHEEP. There was an average sired entry of store chtep, consisting mainly of inferior c"'c* and lambs, with a fair number of pens of shorn wethers and odd lots of hoggets in tho wool. Tho hoggets wr.ro mostly small consignments. Tho market wis a bright one though tho tendency to neglect tho interior owes and lambs was a.? noticcablo as ever. Generally prices were much on a. level with those of last week, though Boaio of the shorn wethers hardly made such a good figure, but generally they were not quotahly lower. Better class ewes and lambs showed a. tendency to improve in price, and odd lots of hoggets mado figures in advance of last, week's. A pen of specially well grown thioc-quarterbrcd wether heggets made -lis 2d. Values were: Good aged crossbred owes, with lambs, 22s lOd to 26s Id. Aged crossbred ewes, with lambs, 16s Id to 21?.

Tho vardins: wa? the heaviest for some week?, comprising jf>s head, about 100 more than the -Drecedini: week. There was one North Isla'nd consignment, of 2S head, but they were not up to the quality of tho lot forward at tbe previous s.tlc There were a. few cood lines of Canterbury station steers and odd lota of very prime he.iiers, but generally tbe yarding represented ra-thcr liard-looking and unfinished which could have dono with another month's feed. There was, moreover. 3. larger proportion of moderate quality cows forward. Tho sale was a. very free ore, but it scarcely had the "ginger" of last week, a. na.tural result of tho heavy entry. However, values were only a'degree easier, and in view of tho large entry the sa.le was a. really good one. "lto opening values showed a. drop of up to 2''3 a head, but the demand hardened _as Iho day wore on, and mo?t of this recession was recovered. Good quality cattle, not too heavy, particularly showed a, nir.-tai'.tug. Extra, prime medium-weight beef mad? fit m 45s to 4Ss per 1001b, in cases to 52s Gd, primo heavy-weight beef from 42s < to 455, medium quality 38a to 41s 6d, lighter j r,d rough sorts 27s Gd to 35s per 1001b.
