AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. MATSON AND CO.'S ADDINGTON STORE SHEEP. The cuiiy ir. this department vas 000 fhort of the previous sale wherein there v.-as 4090. A verr largo audience attended the sale in this'department and in our opinion pricco again took a rifle, although tho rise was not general for hoggets, tl»> being an irregular one, and undoubtedly in somo pens some remarkable sales were, made. Wethers for th--> few that were yarded met with a solid demand and the price of 37s 7d for a line realised, the previous '.reek formed the basis of values for to-day's sales and forward sheep were all round .-•.'■. out 37s up as high as 38a. There wre one or two lines of breeding ewes forward, showing heavy in lamb, and the prices they realised -were certainly in advance of p:tvioiia sales. In fact bids for any ewes at a! wero sent in from all corners of ea<h pen. The whole Bale throughout waa spirit- • rl and anyone who is yhort of feed desirous <.i soiling cannot go wrong by unloading ;-t this centre. We quote tho foilowms prices: Aj»ed eweg in lamb from 34s to 30s; on* good lino up to 35s 6d. .Sound-mouth ewes, 39s lOd to £2; one •verr /■no line of early shorn, big-framed tfcrceewes made 48s fc'd.

I There was a larger yarding than ltei, week ' and a, bigger proportion of wet&ers than usual. Generally speaking, the quality ws« '.cry irregular, but there were several outstanding lines of both wethers and ewes. Tho market opened very firmly at last week's | rates and continued so throughout. As a ( matter of fact as the sale progressed prices seemed to harden until about the last race, v/hen competition was restricted to a comparatively fen? butchers, the majority evidently h.iving fLUod their requirements earlier in the gale. Despite the. fact that we heard several experts -who follow tho market stating that tho sale was not nearly so good as last week, in ©or opinion wo think tho sale was every bit as good on the average. Perhaps the very extreme prices that were ruling at the beginning of last Wednesday's Palo were not forthcoming to-day, but on Country butchers and West Coast orders j helped very materially to l.eep the market ; 'firm. Some of cur best sales are ae fol- j lows:— . On acooxmt of W. Abbott (Southbridgi'), j wethers to 41s 6d, ewes to 10s 3d: D.

FAT CATTLE. j The total entry to-day comprised 445 head of cattle, of which our share was 110. The ! quality yarded was excellent and prices j wero highly satisfactory to vendors. In our ! opinion, the steer market was .about the j samo as last week, bat cows and heifers were in the minority and wens much sought after. There are a large number of the small j butchers -who do not, buy steers, consequent- j ly the market for these rose easily 30s per ! head with a hardening tendency as tho sale I progressed.
