ADDINGTON MARKET.

KEEN DEMAND FOR EWES. GOOD BEEF SALE. IBi OUR COMMERCIAL EDITOIt.) The market yesterday at Addington was generally satisfactory to vendors. A good sized entry of fat cattle met with an improved demand and average values were better than the preceding week by 2s to 2s 6d a hundred for class cattle. Quality was better than at any previous sale this season, and butchers, as they usually do at the pre-National market, bidded spiritedly. Fat sheep sold somewhat irregularly, but on an' average the preceding week's prices were fully maintained. The strong feature of the sale was in-lamb ewes. There was an unsatisfied demand for these, indicating that the feed prospects are improving throughout the province. Store wethers and lambs showed little change lon last sale, but they were not an j attractive collection. STOKE .SHEfcr. Jin tries of store shoe]; were on the limited 1 rind very keen interest was agaiu shown in the sale. The lamb yarding was not impressive, much of it consisting of odd small lots, and none of it being outstanding in quality. Tho market v.*as inclined to be a shade easier, but values did not niter much. The best of the offering rnHdu lis, this price being paid for a ! truck of wethers that wcro in forward con--1 dition. For two drafts of' medium ewe lamb 10s was paid. Good adult rwes wore wanted, and the j fnle for thcac was keen. For a draft I of 200 North Canterbury Corriodalos, -with i good mouths and in lamb to English Leicesj tci\s, JTs -Id was paid, and a truck of twoI tootli holfbreds from Hawarden brought the ! good figure of 225.

FAT SHEEP. The entry of fat sheep totalled 4100 head, compared -with 4000 last week. For thn market immediately prior to the National this yarding van a small one. Had it not been for the late arrival of a train from the south, it "would have been a very short one. There were some drafts of prime sheep from this quarter. The average quality, in fact, v.-as much improved. The murket opened nt the previous week's rates, but about halfway through it cased a little, particularly for heavy ewes. Later, however, it picked "P, and ovor the whole sale there was no quolablo change in values. Top wether prieo was 30s, which was paid for seven out of a line of 23 sold on account of T. D.

FAT CATTLE. The entry of fat cnltlo comprised 4-S lituii. compared with 41"- last week and 415 a fortnight ago. Oil recent averagosized markets these entries constitute oversupplies, but apparently the increasing cost of mutton is diverting more attention to beef. .Several heavy lines of advertised north cattle failed to arrive in time for the sale, in one case the vessel having to Fheleir up the coast. But for this tlinre wuulil have been an over-supply, probably villi a reMiltnnt depression in prices. fine lines of cattle were forward, notably from West Otago, South Canterbury, and local fattening districts, in addition to tho usual consignments of handyweight West Coast cattle. The market for good cattle was distinctly better from thfi outset with medium and inferior sorts showing a slight change. On an average prices for good steers and heifers showed an improvement of from 15s to 20s a head, and medium sorts 10s to 15s. It was one of the steadiest sales of the season, and the drop of tho preceding market was more than recovered. It concluded very firmly. The best average for some months was secured by Ucßride Uros. (Winchester), a triii-lc lot of steers making from £ll 2s 6d to £l2 17» f>d, an overage of £l2 Is 10d. A serond truck lot of seven from C. Sraaill (.Moa Flat) averaged £ll 7s Cd, the top beast also making 112 17s Gd. Top price for cows was £8 7s fid for a prime one sold by I\ Crump (Springston). Good prime beef made from 21s to 25s per 1001b, a few pens of extra prime young cattle to 275, heavy-weight from 18s Cd to 20s, medium from 13s Gd to ISs, and rough down to 12s Gd.

Top j.rico was £5 Is. STORE CATTLE. The entry was of indifferent, class, there being no attractive lines. Old cows predominated. Fresh cows sold better, probably owing to the smaller representation of this class in the fat cattle pens. Inferior sorts were unaltered in price. Values were:— Two-year-old steers, to £3 ss. Eighteen-inonths heifers, to -10s. Mixed sex calves, to 13s. Fresh cows, to £2 Gs. Old cows, to IJSs. Bulls, to £2 10s. DAIRY CATTLE.

Top figure w;is £7 10s for a second calver, and the better sorts of cows sold nt £4 15s to £5 ss, with medium 50s to £3 ">s. A few heifers brought keener competition, late r.alvers relatively hotter than cows and heifers near the drop. FAT PIGS. There was a small entry, porkers comprising a mixed lot, with a preponderance of small sorts, and butchers again had difficulty in filling their requirements. There was a better all-round demand, with a slight advance in prices for porkers. Values were:— Choppers, 30s to £4 16s. Baconers, 40s to 46s Gd. Heavy baconers. 50s Gd to 59s 6d.
