Addington market Store stock prices fall
Prices for all store stock except top-quality cattle, fell at Addington market yesterday. A large gallery of buyers was faced with too many yearling cattle of mediocre quality. Prices dropped back about $5O, on tbe last store sale, to a more realistic level. Better-quality yearling steers reached about $430, while most other yearlings sold between $250 and $350. Adult and two-year cattle dropped about $3O to $4O In price. The few pens of topquality cattle on offer maintained last sale’s values. Few store sheep were
offered for sale, but prices fell, reflecting the drop for prime sheep at recent sales. Most pens of ewes and lambs made between $l4 and $l6 with one pen of Corriedale ewes reaching $27. The yarding contained about 770 sheep, 882 yearling cattie and 423 adult cattle.
