There were lair yardiiys and a. good attendance at the Addington market to-day. Fat Cattle.—There was an entry of 150, which consisted m-incipally of cows and heifers.

Beef ruled from 27s to 30s per lOOlh.

Fat Sheep.—There was a large yarding, which comprised a fair proportion of prime wethers and good quality ewes, but many of the pens were filled with half fat ewes, and for theso the demand was poor, and a dragging sale resulted. Butchers and export buyers competed keenly for wethers, which maintained late rates, but in ewes there was a drop of fully Is per head. The late Jioni at which the sale concluded tended to injure the market. The range of prices was:—Freezing wethers, 10s 3d to 19s Id; extra heavy, to 20s sd; best butchers' ewes, 10s to 18s; medium, 12s Cd to 15a Gd; freezing owes, 11s 3d to IGs 9d; others, 8s 3d to 12s. Pat Lambs.—There was ?, fair yarding, the entry numbering about 2GOO, but as butchers aro now restricting their purchases of limbs, prices have suffered in consequence. To-day a drop of equal to 9d per head compared with the previous week's rates was shown. Tegs realised up to 15s 2d; freezers, 9s 6d to 15s Id; butchers, S3 Gd to 14s 3d.

Pigs.—There was t, small yarding, and the weakening tendency of the market shown at recent salc3 was again noticeable. Baconers brought from 43s to 57s 6d, equal to 4?. d per lb; porkers, 32s to 38s, equal to from 5d to sid per H>; stores, 18s to 255; slips, 12s to IGs; weancrs, 53 to 10s.

They, however, ■ disposed of a "few lines of hoggets at-good prices : from 8s to 9s, I.going to 8s 10(1.' The nexfday (hey held their fortnightly sale at Balclutha., at which there was a very large yarding of sheep, (he largest in fact since the opening of the new yards. Owing, however, to die day being fine and farmers busy leading-in, a very dragging salo was the result, and it was difficult to sell Jmes of sheep that would havo sold readily at previous sales.

There were not, however, many.cattle forward, and prices were on a par with those ruling at previous sales. Pigs were not forward in .ny number, and what few were there sold readily at values lately rilling, at this centre.—Dalgety and Co. (Limited) report having held their fortnightly salo at Balclutha-. oil Friday, the 24th' inst. There was sin unusually ■ heavy yarding of sheep, every pen being occupied, nnd, although the attendance was small, the demarffl was fairly active, and neatly the whole of the entry changed hands at full current rates. A large proportion of the sheep consisted of breeding owes, mostly full-mouthed and aged, while the balance was composed of crossbred wethers and lambs. Tha demantV was chiefly for breeding owes, bilt other'descriptions also qarhe in for a fair share of attention.' Crossbred wethers brought 129 6d to 13s; do two-tooth, 10s Gd to 12s 6d; do sound-mouthed ewes, 9s to 12s; do aged, 4s to 7s; crossbred lambs, 5s 9d to 8s; fat lambs, 9s 6d to 11s.

The dairy cows were , 'keenly competed for, and realised from £7 15s to jEO. For horses there was a very good inquiry, and the prices realised were satisfactory. One aged mare brought £38, while another of the same class found a buyer at £15. Implements and sundries also met with a ready sale.—The s»me fiira also report Slaving held a clearing sale on account of Mr James Darling, Kaitangata, on Tuesday, 29th inst. : , when they offered the whole of his herd nf dairy cows, horses, implements, etc. Mr Darling's herd of dairy cows was well known to be of a superior cla-ss, and in consequence there was a good-attendance of those interested in that class of stock. The whole of the cows were due to'calve in August and September, but, notwithstanding Mint the flush of ibo milk was passed for this ssason, the prices realised were highly satisfactory. The lowest price obtained for any of. the, cows' was £5, while several brought between £ 7 and £8. The whole 'herd of 1G cows made the satisfactory average of £6 Is Cd, Horses, implements, and sundries were well competed for, and brought good prices. Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co.'s displenishing sale at Nathor Farm, Waiwera South, on Wednesday last, 28lh April, wlmi-they offered all the stock, horses, implements, etc., on account of Jlr Wm. Stewart, was a. most successful one in every respect. The day was everything that could be desired— indeed, perfect for a fixture of this kind,— and, notwithstanding that harvesting operations were in full swing, there was a splendid muster of settlers from all parts of the Clntha district. It was very evivdeut that Mr Stewart was a popular neighbour, and that the buyers had every faith in his announcement that the sale was to be totally unreserved, for they competed with exceptional briskness for all lots offered. The sheep were sold first, and, being in good condition, realised excellent prices, tho Ropmey cross, two, four, and'six-tooth ewes, 258, in number, making 13s, and ihe line of 143,, lambs 8s lid: Five dairy. cows—a-very nice lot, but air far from calving—sold in about as many, minutes at 'up to ■£& ss.
