[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Chbistchuwch, Wednesday. At the Addington live stock market to-day there was again a large entry of stock, though it was not nearly equal to the last two weeks. Store sheep formed the bulk of those yarded, and foi the better-class anini.il there was ar"good demand. Fat lambs sold aC law week's rates, and fat sheep, owing to a fairly large entry, showed a sharp decline. Fat cattle were firmer in price, and tat piss were dull of sale. Store cattle w©»e in pool' demand, but dairy cows met with it better inquiry. The yarding of story sheep was much bftlow ia*t week'; record. Ewes formed the bulk of the yarding, and with the exception of a few two-toot.lv» they were mostly of a poor class. Low-conditioned travel-stained ewes could only be. disposed of at lower uti-f, but the younger and bettor sorts met v iih a fair demand at late rates. Lambs sold firmly and good sorts showed a little improvement in values. There wius no change in, the. price of wethers, Jew good sorts beiu;r on oiler. There was a fairly large entry of fat sheen, including some good lines of medium and heavyweight wethers, but the bulk was made up of ewes. The bidding opened alack on account of the plentiful supply, and as butchers filled their requirements ptices fell away considerably, and there was a drop of 2s to 3s in wethers and a still further decline in ewes. The light-con-ditioned and aged sheep were the most difficult to sell. The export buyers operated m any lines of ewes that were obtainable at prices within their limits, especially towards the close of the sale. The range of prices was: Prime .wethers, 18a to 2!os (e.\rra to 25s 6d); lighter, 14s 3d to lis 6d. Prime ewes, 15s 6d to 1&> Ad: medium, 13s to 15e; aged ami light, Ss to lis 6.1.
The entry of /at. lambs was not a large one. but the quality was letter than last week, and chiefly on this account prices ruled somewhat higher. Tegs sold at 15s oc; to lbs lOd; ordinary freezer*. 12s to lbs; stine-conditioned lon, 10a to lis 6d. There were 360 head of fat cuttle penned, a large proportion being prime sort*. A steady <!■•- maud ruled throughout anil priced were firmer. Best, steer beef mads 21a to 25s fad per 1001b. nit - dium IBs 6.1 to 20* 6d. and cow and inferior ioa to lis. The range of price* was : Steer*. £0 10s to £11 12a 6<l (two extra to £13): heifers, £5 to £8 7s 6d (extra ££ 12* ad); to**, £4 7s oil to £3 (extra to £'i 12= o<i). Veal calves were entered in fairly large numbers, arid among them were several good lines of suckers. Prices r.uigej from 4* 6d to £3 lfo, according to size end quality 'The entry of store cattle was of a pom- class and the demand was very weak, animal* in poor condition being almost unsalable. Yearlings made. 10* to 25*. according to condition; twoyear steers, 40; to 55.-; two and s-half to thteeyear steers, in forward condition, 60s to 70s; dry cows, 15s to 22s 6d. An ordinary yarding of dairy cows of average quality met with an ijnpioved demand and sold at prices ranging from £3 IDs to £8. There wan a small yarding of pigs, and fits were slow of sale at late rates. (.'Hoppers sold at £3 to £4 10s; baenners, 45* to &sa; heavy, to 65» (equal to Sd per lb). Porkers realised 35s to 43s (equal to 5Jd per lb); medium stores, 22s to 2os; small. Ids to 21s, weaners, 8s to 12*. DUXEDIX RUAI.N MARKET. [3V TKLEGRAPU I'KKSS ASiOCUTIOS] DUXKDIS, Wednesday. The wheat market, in sympathy with London, is quiet. Offerings are not heavy and buyers' and holders' ideas of values in most instances do not correspond.

The following- particulars relating to the. foreign trade of .Japan have been received trom II .11." Commercial Attache at Yokohama (Mr. E. F. Crowe) :■-• 'ISto. .1907. £. £. imports .. .. 42,750,877 50.W5.835 Exports 43.268,312 44,1*2.298 Of the total increase in import* of over £7,700,000 mure thh.i half is to be placed to the account of raw cotton; other than raw materials, Machinery anil steam vessels between them contribute another £3.250,000, while partly-manu-factured article*, with the exception of cotton won. all show considerable increases. The recrude.wenoe of imports of cotton yarn in 1906 wa? only a temporary phenomenon, arid it is not surprising to find a ' very laitr- decrease. In this item. The most serious reduction under any one heading is under that of woollen cloth and ser;rei<, which on!v amount* to £885,740, -as compared with £1.582,918 in 19C6. This is all the more unsatisfactory because, although the exact, figures have riot yet been published, it is estimated tic i :dio.it. 90 per cent, of this decrease will be in British woollen goods. It. is not possible to state yet the share taken l.v various countries in Japan's trade for the whole year, but it would appear that the imports from Great Britain will show a considerable increase. Exports, which in 1300 had increased by nearly 32 per cent., over 1905. did no' maintain this rapid rate of progress, and only showed the, comparatively modest increase of "£833,986, or 2 per cent, The 'most important, changes arc to be found in the following items : —Decreased in refined sugar of £857,144, cotton varus £515.847, halaiiave (silk tisanes) £369,445, and matches £143,998 tesi.eetivelv are more than compensated for by increases in raw silk of £658.010, timber £4/<?.&£), copper £424,434, coal £279,450. tea- £180,502, tisli oil £178,876. and camphor £112,31). It must be remembered, however, that the Increase in copper Is. largely due to the exports, which took place during the first- eight months of the year, of metal contracted for when the price was still phenomenally high. Tea once more shows an in-cre-ise, although the trade hi* changed to a certain extent, I'lider the heading of whollymanuipcte.red articles many iterne which had f{heii i:'f:at promise, in 1906 have retrograded, and afthot'fjh there is. on balance, a gala of nearly aqunrier of a million pounds, tins ia chiefly due to miscellaneous goods, because in nearly all ih- important line*, save cotton undershirts and drawers, and cotton piece S°o'-i5, there is a tailing oil'.
