ADDINGTON MARKET

HEAVY STORE SHEEP ENTRY GOOD EWES SELL WELL (ET OCB COMMMCUIi EL'UOB.) Generally the demand in the major sections at the -weekly metropolitan market yesterday was well maintained and late rates were equalled or slightly bettered. The fat cattle section was the exception, where a very large entry sold at rates slightly below those ruling last week. The store sheep entry was easily the largest of the season lor Addington, and attracted much interest. For all sheep showing quality or soundness the demand was up to late rates, but there was a dragging tendency in the competition tor backward conditioned or poorly woolled types. Uhe lat lamb market was a very good one, with exporters operating on the new j-ehedule basis ot up to i;;d for under 361b iambs. Fat snecp sold steadily with a rise over the hist alley.

COLOMBO TEA SALES '\T ISS iSSOtlitlO* tE:.WU«,| DUNEDIN, March 21. ; Mr L. M. Wright has received the following cabled report on the Colcir:bo auction of March 20:— •"Common teas advanced id a pound. Medium grades were firm, while fine teas showed irregularity, following quality. The amount auctioned was 2.010.0001b. Next week's sale catalogue is for 2,110,0001b." HOWARD SMITH, LTD. In its operations for the year ended December 31, Howard Smith, Limited, . showed considerably improved returns and the net profit of £47,168 earned was the highest since 1929, when net income was £75,874. In 1932 a profit of £22,333 was obtained. Preference dividend cf (j per cent. requires £15,000, and a feature is that the company is able to pay an ordinary dividend of V_. per cent., ordinary shareholders not having received a distribution sin;c September, 1920. The balance-sheet shows- that mounts held on oehalf of subsidiary and associated companies are £72,399 higher than a year ago. Against this is an increase cf £31,007 in shares in oilier companies, and the amount of £51,902 owing by subsidiary and associated companies has been eliminated. Deposits wi r h the company are down £21.4G8 on the year, while sundry debtors have been reduced £11,928. Profit lor the year provides a return of 1.845 per cent, on shareholders' funds, compared with 0.83 per cent, lor 1932.
