I At " the Addington saleyarda to-day there . was a big yarding of sheep, cattle, and pigs. .Fat and store sheep and fat lambs were j Very well represented, and so far as quality was concerned it covered a wide range. As a ; result of the more favourable weather, increased attention was given to store.stock, the general inquiry being more animated for good sorts. ■I-}; There was a fair yarding of "store sheep, consisting principally of ewes, ■ with a few ■ wethers and lambs. The bulk of the ewes were full-mouthed, ' but . there were one or ,; two good lines of younger sheep. -This sec- ;' tion of the sale has firmed a little, and the prices for the better sorts showed a slight :v increase, though \ for old and : • low-condi- '.. tioned sheen there is no change to record, ' Fair-conditioned tWo-tooths realised 12s 6dto ' 13s 6d. <?ood sorts 14s to 15*, 6d, two-tooth l halfbreds (small) 12s ,3d p inferior, %■; to 98 [ 3d, culls 5s 9d.

There was a. decidedly brisker tone to the whole market, and good lines of well-finished' lambs : met with a ready sale at' a slight advance. The sale opened keenly," but slackened a lot at V the finish. Exporters took 5914 lambs; at prices ranging from 10s to 15s; butchers l secured 388 at from lis to 16s, and graziers ' took 288 at from lis to 14s.
