ADDINGTON MARKET Nearly All Main Classes Of Stock Cheaper
Nearly all major dameen of stock wen cheaper at Addington Market yesterday, and then were big entries of fat sheep, cattie, and pigs. Steen and heifers decreased sharply, with cows barely bidding to late rates. Some of the better steen coold have been as much as 80s a head cheaper. Store cattie prices remained depressed. Fat lambs sold relatively soundly, but hoggets and wethers wen up to 16s a head easier and many lines wen not saleable. Butchers’ ewes eased about 4s a head, with the better quality showing a mon pronounced drop. Heavy entries of fat pigs depressed the market and a lot of over-fat porkers had to be sent home unsold. A heavy ston pig offering coincided with a smaller attendance of buyers. Store hoggets showed a further depreciation, and although the store sheep entry was smaller then were few buyers present, and it was not easy selling. The common topic of conversation in the gallery foltowing the sale was the continued dry weather.
STORE SHEEP Although th* store sheep entry was much smaller than the yarding a fortnight ago there was a further easing In yaltfes. reflecting the continued dry conditions throughout Canterbury and the diminishing of pasture reserves. Quality generally showed a marked variation, but even on the better lines there was only moderate interest shown and there was little buying pressure from the modest gallery following the sale. The entry totalled 2264 head, compared with 6777 a fortnight ago. The offering included 1732 store hoggets (3511 at the last sale), 10 dry ewes, 113 ewes and lambs (1218) and 409 wethers (2048).
There was only one pen of woolly sheep in the hogget pens, which were predominantly of fine wool lines. With little competition most lines were harder to sell and values showed a further easing of about 4s a head on the depressed rates a fortnight ago. Better quality wether hoggets ranged from 41s 6d to 465, with an odd sale to 50s, good made 37s to 40s 6d, average 33s to 36s 6d and plain 25s to 31s. A pen of 76 halfbreds in the wool from W. A. Foster (Parnassus) realised 50s and a sale by an undisclosed vendor was made at 46s with shorn halfbreds. With a pen of similar breeding T. A. Crawford (Yaldhurst) made 425. Only five pens of ewe hoggets were offered and sales of good Romneys were made at 63s and 81s by C. H. Tallott (West Eyreton), with the top Corriedales making 42s Sd for a pen of 50 from W. R. E. and T. E. Booker (Hawarden). Other sales were made at 38s and 395, relatively no better than comparable wether hogget prices.

Competition was slack with restricted wholesale buying and little animation with 5745 a fortnight ago. was again far more than was required. The only hoggets in demand were the prime heavier sorts, but these were cheaper by 7* to 10s a head. Other hogget classes, except for a favoured pen, met little inquiry. Many pens of prime light hoggets failed to attract even an opening bid. As the sale proceeded it became increasingly hard to make sales and for wethers only the best met any inquiry and passings were very heavy. Values were fully 10s a head below toe previous sale. For ewes the demand was also severely restricted, with prices again easier by 3s to 4s a head overall, but on toe best cutting lines, which have tended to hold their values over recent sales when the trend has been easier, the drop was much more
pronounced. The hogget sale was topped by Mrs D. M. Stephenson (Te Pirita), who sold 50 at 64s Id to 67s Id- W. M. Stephenson and Company (Te Pirita) sold 50 at 64* to 66* Id.

FAT CATTLE With a heavy entry of 557 head of fat cattle, compared with 484 a fortnight ago, there was again a severe over-supply and price* showed a further general easing. Quality varied but there was a good selection of handy butchers’ cattle. Cow* were forward in big numbers. Good butchers' steer* could be quoted back by fully 50s to 60s a head, although several observers maintained the mediumweight steer class was 80s a head cheaper. There were a lot of passings of light and plain steer* ana over-fat types were not sought after. The dry weather appears to be forcing more cattle on to the market, but much of the over-fat beef coming forward now would have been better suited to the market a month ago.
Much of the handy-weight steer beef in the market yesterday changed hands at between £6 and £6 10s per 1001 b. Heifers were also sharply cheaper by about 50s to 80s a head and some of these were also over-prime. Cows, which were in much bigger numbers, sold without any marked change in value*, although some could have been fractionally easier. The big offering enabled butchers to be selective.
Top price lor steers was £5O 17s 6d for one offered by D. Marshall (Springston), and another made £5O 12s 6d. K. H. and E. J. Boyle (Broadfield) had a sale at £49 17s 6d and L. J.

STOBE CATTLE Store cattle values Showed no improvement on the depressed rates of the sale a fortnight ago and theme was again a sizeable entry of 414 head, compared with 580. The entry Included several lines of wellbred cattle and considering the dry- conditions, theme was a relatively large gallery following the sate.
