ADDINGTON MARKET All Store Sheep Sell Soundly

There was another very good sale for store sheep at Addington market yesterday. The level of values for lambs was very close to late good rates. A very good selection of fine wool twotooth ewes enjoyed a strong sale. Values appeared to improve by Is to 2s, even taking into account the better quality of the selection. Older ewes, which were forward in slightly larger numbers, had another good sale at rates fully comparable with those ruling last week.

The over-all entry wa« of similar size to last week with 11,583 head yarded compared with 11,311. The selection included 7267 lambs (8588 last week), 873 two-tooth ewes (108), 3057 older ewes (2351). and 388 wethers (184). STOM LAMBS There was some variation in opinion among those who closely follow the lamb sale about the level of values. In some cases it was thought that the top lambs were a little dearer and in others that they were a little cheaper, and there was a similar variation in opinion about the trend of the market for medium and lighter lambs, but overall It could be said that values were very close to late good rates with the medium and lighter lambs relatively easy selling and the market altogether very satisfactory. The pick of the Romney wether lambs realised from 40s to 465, With good at 35s to 395, average at 30s to 345, and others at 23a to 28s. In the fine wool section the best of the wether lambs brought from 37s to 395, average to good made from 31s to 355, and others sold at 35s to 28s. Down cross sold mainly from 30s to 40s.
