ADDINGTON MARKET.

A GOOD SALE.

IMPROVED STORE SHEEP DEMAND. {BT orT. COMMERC7AI. IDITOH.) The cr.tries vecterday in most sections of sheep showed a decline. particularly in breeding- ewes. The latter recorded a notable improvement or- tbc previous week, when an excess entry in the closing stages of tho day declined by 3s to 5s per head on the morning rates. This drop was more than reoovcred yesterday. The good sale at tho Oxford ewe fair on Monday indicated that the drop was not due to the ordinary causes of supply and demand. As a matter of fact, last week's decline was brought about by an excess offering. Thoee operators who bought last week's low priced sheep turned them over yesteidav at a very sound advance. Go«l fat cattle showed a firming, and fat sheep were a so in better request. Altogether, the market was a very satisfactory. one, and the clearance in all 6ections was good. A feature of the pig section wa.s an excelieut consignment froui the "West Coast. STORE SHEEP. The entry of store sheep was much smaller than last week, and if it had not been for a draft from the Chatham Islands and for North Island 6heep held over from last week, the entry would have been a particularly small one for this lime of the year. The Marlborough district was well represented in both the ewe and v.-ether section". Tho demand opened better than last week and in the early stages, two-tooth ewes sold several shillings per head better; in fact, all classes of breeding ewe? made liiprbcr values. The improved tone "Va,s maintained until near the close, when there was a slight casing, but. it was a uniformly good sale throughout, with North Island ewe 3 showing an advance of 2s 6d to 3s on the rates of last. week. Forward lambs were better by Qs a head, other sorts in proportion, and wethers in the earlier stages showed an improved sale, which, however, was not maintained. The yarding of wethers was heavier than for some time. Xot more than 15 per cent. o{ tho entry was passed at auction. A noticeable feature of tho sale was that a number of purchases of ewee made by dealers at last week's market were quitted at substantial advances, ranging from 4a to 7s in ad-vance, the higher prices for ewes that had been bought in the. closing stages, when values had sagged substantially. The market from all points of view was a very satisfactory one. ValußS were : Forward lambs, 06s to 3f)s 4d. Ordinary lambs, to Ms 9d. 'Medium ]ambs, 21s to 22s !kl. Small lambs, lPg to 20s Ed.

FAT LAMBS. Another small entry, which included several lots from the "West Coast. All round tho quality was very ragged, there being very few decent lines forward, and' the bulk wore more fitted for the store pens. Competition was inclined to be easier, but the poor quality is to be considered in this respect. Graziers secured a fair proportion of the lighter lambs. Values were: Extra prime lambs.to 445. Prime lambs 37s 6d to 41s. Medium lambs 34s to Sis. Light lambs 31s-6d to Sfc 6d. Store lambs 27s to 31s. ... . The following were Ihe principal = - On account of C.

FAT SHEEP. Ten full races -were penned. The. proportion of wethers was larger than -usual, and some of them were particularly good sorts. This heloed to make t-ho wether qnality on an avrrasc better than oT late, but a big proportion of the ewes were very mediocre. Thf* active comuetition of several ot the principal exporting firms firmed the market The sale of good sheep was better by uo'to Is a head, the final part of the market fully maintaining the earlier firmness. Am on est several lots of exceptionally pmne wethers was one from J. K. Forester (Ha warden) a pen of five, ma King o3s 3d, and the top pen of a draft from J. A. Forrester (Hurunui) 47s 9d.

The proportion of steers was ali'<*ht>y larger tliim of lato. Tho sale was a good one in view of the heavy entry.
