ADDINGTON MARKET.

LAMB VALUES ADVANCED. HEAVY FAT SHEEP ENTRY. (EX OUS COiSMUaCIAL EDITO3.) The principal feature at the Addington market yesterday was a sharp rise in fat lamb values of from Is to Is 6d a head. This was in marked contrast to tho sale in the same section at the market last week, when, witha heavy fat lamb entry, thore waa » sharp decline in values, exporters being able to secure supplies at export schedule rates. Yesterday tho vis© * u prices forced the exporters off the market, their buyers taking only a lew pens. Butchers bought steadily at values averaging about 4id a pounit. Prices lor store sheep, of which there was another small yarding, showed practically no change in values, although there was a large attendance of buyers. The fat cattle entry was smaller than that lor tho previous market, and except for extra quality sorts, values showed an easier _ tone. Tho large fat slieep entry contained a good proportion of excellent quality stock, and values were maintained with those of last week until near the end of tho sale, when prices slipped. Medium and large store pigs were considerably cheaper than during »-i>© previous salo, and thcro was a weak demand, and consequently low prices for fab pigs. STORE SHEEP.
