AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. J MATSON AND C( REPORT ON ADDINGTON MARKET. FAT CATTLE. Thero wore 480 head of fat cattle in the yards, of which H. Matson and Co.'fl entry was 100. It was a good b»Jo throughout, but prices were got with difficulty. The sale from start to finish in our opinion showed an irregular advance on steer beef from 2s to 4s, and all cow and heifor "beef about the same margin, but the buyers Were loth to give the price and contested each step in the competition, making the sale rather a dragging one and hard to conduct. We quote as follows: One or two exhibition consignment* sold from. ir2o to £'22 10s. Best heavy steers, from £l7 to £l9. Medium steers, fair weights, from £l4 to £l6 103. Light-weights or plain steers, from £8 to £l2 10s. Extra good heifers, from £l4 to £ls. Heavy useful heiferß, from £ll 10s to £l3. Medium, from £8 10s to £lO. Light, from £4 to .£7. Extra good cows, from £l4 to £ls 10s. Heavy oows, from £lO to £l2 10s. Medium, from £8 to £9 10s. Light or canners, from £3 10s to £5. FOR BEST RESULTS CONSIGN YOUII STOCK TO H.

STORE SHEEP. There was quito a. large- entry of store sheep, and at the opening portion of the ealo a big attendance of the public was present. Tho bulk of the Bales in the first si Icy way or two represented many consignments that could bo regarded as re-sales. These for the most part ii.ro supported by riding instructions or are protected ty tho vendor, or the previous purchase price acts as a guide, the result was that the sale jumped off at quito a brilliant commencement, Although to the trainod eyo it was apparent that there was something wanting in tho atmosphere. Aa the sale progressed the first-hand entries with instructions to sell at the highest bid gradually wore the prices down, or the rates down in sympathy witn the lower ratee thai were current in tho lamb department for second quality and unfinished lots. . The -prices undoubtedly to-day throughout showed quite a set-back, though in the opinion of the writer the prices are good, and very good. Here and there, where a consignment of quality was yarded, the .highest rates were forthcoming, but the second and third grades and under-sized lots or uncertain lots, which up to the Present have been purchased by over-grassed purchasers at any old price, to-day met with a reverse as to values. These lower rates should have been current in tho first place, in oomparison to prices given for best lots. The restrictions affecting tho dipping to-day were responsible for several consignments being withdrawn from sale and sent south, thereby robbing this market of the sales. Restrictions here, restrictions there, restrictions everywhere. Where will it end? FOR BEST RESULTS CONSIGN YOUR STOCK TO H. MATSON and CO., ADDINGTON. PAT SHEEP. ' The entry of iat sheep was a medium, one. Competition was irregular, selling at the average of last week's rates to * shade easier for all exhibits, and notwithstanding that one or two export buyers were bidding persistently through the sale, the agents for the most part had 'difficulty in maintaining their valuations. As a matter of fact, prices at the present time in this particular department have zetiched a limit that the tradesman is very loth should be maintained, as it means that to obtain trade at all monthly credit must be extended, and the basis of .valuation is too high for universal credit.■ .
