RECENT YARDINGS MAINTAINED

VALUES GENERALLY FIRM

Yardings at Addington yesterday were similar in numbers to the previous Week, and all round there were very few alterations in values. The fat sheep market was somewhat erratic. Fat hoggets showed no change at all. Store hoggets were in good demaud, with ewes showing a slight decline in values. Shorn Wether hogget* were eagerly sought. Ewes ana lambs brought slightly higher prices. In the fat cattle section heavy steers showed a slight decline towards the end Of the sale, but prime light-weights and cows appreciated to some extent. STORE.SHEEP The store sheep yarding showed a considerable rise on last week, totalling 2840 against 2157. The entry comprised 1047 hoggets, 573 ewes With lambs, and 420 wethers. The quality of the hogget entry was hardly equal to recent sale*, and wholly sheep were not as much sought as those out of the wool. Prices for ewe hoggets showed a drop of about 2s a head, but shorn wether hoggets were firm to a Shade dearer, and woolly wethers were on a parity with late rates.
