ADDINGTON MARKET.

SMALLER ENTRIES. SHARP INCREASE IN VEAL VALUES. (SS CUE COJMB£CIiIi EDITOR.) Shorter entries in the major sections were the rule at the weekly metropolitan market at Addington' yesterday. The second draft o£ steers from the North Island for this season was penned in the fat cattle section* It was a line of 49 head from Wairarapa, and met with a good salo. Fat cattle values remained for the most part on a par with those of last week, although prime sorts sold on a slightly advanced basis. Storo sheep were penned ia small numbers—it was the smallest entry of this winter—and the sale was a steady one for both adult sheep and hoggets, with values about on a par with those ruling last week. The fat lamb entry was smaller than for some weoks, and the sale was a steady one at late rates. Fat sheep were not yarded in such large numbers as has been the case for tho past month, and in consequence values were a little firmer than those ruling at tho last sale. There was a very big increase in all veal values consequent upon the shortest entry for years, and the best runners Bold as high as £9 13s 6d. STORE SHEEP. The offering of storo sheep and lambs was the smallest this winter, the whole yarding constituting no more than a handful of very mixed quality sorts, with a predominance of agod ewes. Though there was a moderate attendance of farmers, tho actual buying power was limited to a very few, and the sale was an uneventful one, with prices showing little quotable difference from those ruling last week. A pen or two of usefullooking ewe hoggets attracted a little interest, but in comparison with the prices paid for some of the smaller sorts they were not dear. Here and there a lino of sound-mouthed ewes, showing well In lamb, stood out in the adult sheep entry, and they sold quite well. One line of 265 Romney ewes, with useful mouths, and showing In lamb to Southdown rams, was sold at 21s. The best ewe hogget price waß 19s 9d, which was paid for a line of 69 three-quarterbreds. They were well grown, and appeared cheap at the price. Tho range of values was:— Best ewe hoggets, 19a 3d to 19s 04. Good ewe hoggets to 16s 9d. Small m.s. hoggets to lis 2d. Wether hoggets, 7s 3d to 8s 94. Best B.m. Komney cross ewes, 21s to 98s. Ordinary six and eight-tooth three-quar-terbred ewes to 16s. „ Ordinary s.m. halfbred ewes to 15s 6fl.

The entry of fat sheep totalled 4250 head, compared with 5750 at . the previous week's market. The falling off in the size of the yarding was no doubt in part due to the fact that as from July Ist vendors have to guarantee the ewes in the fat pens are empty. The general quality was not as good as has been the ease at recent sales. Throughout competition was keen among both butchers and export buyers. Values were a shade firmer for both classes than those ruling last week. The top price for wethers was secured by J. Wyllie (Omihi), 70 selling from 29s 7d to 33s Id. The best ewe price was 26s Id, seoured for the top pen sold on account of M. Moran (Highbank). Values were:— Extra prime wethers, to 83s Id. Prime wethers, 26s 6d to 295. Medium wethers, 22s to 26b.

The omission of the word "four" hi a reference in yesterday's ibsus to the above company conveyed a wrong impression. It was incorrectly stated that tho net profits o* tho company last year were £32 413 This amount was the profit for the last four years, this being the amount after providing for, depreciation, but without making provision for bank interest, interest on borrowed capital, and directors' honoraria.
