ADDINGTON MARKET.

SMALLER ENTRIES. DULL SALE OF STORE SHEEP. (BY OUR COMMERCIAL EDITUIU Entries ill the principal fat stock sections at Addington yesterday were smaller than have been the case for some time. Calculated 011 recent lates prices with few exceptions weic satisfactory. The storo sheep market provided the dull sale of the day. In this section there was a normal entiy for this period of the year. Both lambs and adult sheep, however, met with a dull sale and values generally declined by Is a: head. 111 some instances the drop was more. In the fat cattle section there was little quotable change in values, although a reduced entry made for a freer demand. Eat sheep sold keenly with an appreciation 011 last week's values. Fat lambs did not sell as keenly as at last market. Values were easier, but the export schedule was maintained: — STOKE SHEEP. Entries of storo lambs and sheep were much the sumo us they were last au<i there was little outstanding about the appearance of the offering m either section.

The quality ot the entry was eood, some very fine lines being included. Competition was brisk trom the outset, especially for heavy wethers, which wpre a shilling a head up. All over, prices wore firmer, but not' quotably so. Owing to tho activity of one exporting company,, wlinii purchased at slightly over schedule, the other operators did not secure much. Top prio for wethers was 225, secured for tho top pen of a line of 51, which were sold on account of J. A.

The entry of .ilo head of fat cattle was ovei 100 head less than that entered at the preceding markot. As a result the sale showed a little more freedom.

No North Island cattle were forward, but there were Kmc very prime lines of steers—liandyweiehts and heavy sorts—from Canterbury glaziers, and one line from the West Coast. As usual the entry included a big proportion of light types of indifferent quality. These met with an extremely dull demand.
