ADDINGTON MARKET Prime lamb values recover
Prime lambs and prime sheep had a very good sale at the Addington Market yesterday, mainly because of reduced yardings.
A large proportion of the] lambs sold in the $l2 to| $13.50 range, at which the! market Was as good as iti has been this autumn. Ewes showed the most marked improvement in the prime sheep section. Ewes, recently-shorn, sold to $7.50, and the best of the ewes with woolly pelts reached $9.90. After a poor opening, the prime cattle yarding made a| useful recovery, mainly- be-! cause of some farmer interest ] in the closing stages. Prime lanibff PrimO lamb values made a goods recovery’ after a decline of 50c to 60c a head last week. The yarding fell from 2235 last week to 1190. and quality was generally very good Tl7e reduced yarding, in itself, i was probably sufficient to ensure i a good sale for vendors. How-i ever, the market, under steady competition, lifted by as much I as a dollar a head. Values were:— Exceptional lambs, to $l5. ! Prime heavy. $13.30 to $l4.

Prime <?attlr ' Prime cattle had a weaker sale 'for much of the day. but with 'some farmer inquiry, they made a useful recovery in (he later i stages. The yarding of About 780 head was the largest’ of the autumn, and was partly! brought about by the inclusion! of two. races of heavy cows. The market opened'; poorly, | with values for steers ai further' $6 to $7 easier. However, this decline was fully recovered under some farmer corrtpetition ■■ in the concluding stages) In spite of a bigger Offering,. cows sold quite freely, although j [they were again verv cheap buv-1 ! ing. 1 Heavy-weight steer be<f sold ■at $2l per 1001 b 146.5 c a kg);» medium-weight at $23 <50.5* a kg),‘ I with some good light-weights to ■ $26 (57.5 c a kg); heifer Beef at j 1 $l9 to S2O (42c to 44c a ki». and t cow beef at $l4 to Sl5 fßlc toj 133 c a kgi.
