ALDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

CHRISTCHURCH. July 24. At the Adding-ton live stock market to-day there were moderate en-tries of stock in nearly I all departments, and a good attendance. I Fat cattle were irregular, but without material change in values, and fat lamb 3 were firmer, as were also store sheep. Pigs of all classes met .with a keen demand. There was a poor sale of store and daily cattle. A small entry of fat sheep was made up chiefly of hoggets, and a few small lots of 1 wethers. There was an improved demand, j heggots selling-at an advance of fully Is per head, and there was a good inquiry for young. ! breeding e*os, though there were only aged ; torts on offer. There was a small yarding i of fat lambs, and keen competition was shown ' for all lots fit for freezing, prices being very ' firm. Tegs sold at 19s to 22s 6d; ordinary weights, 15s to 18s 6d; unfinished lets, 12a to | 14s. The entry of fat.sheep was about equal in numbers to that of last week, and included a I number of very prime lines of wethers. Ewes I were in shorter supply, and, in consequence of j keener competition on the part of butchers, < prices for berth wethers and ewes were firmer, the sale being a busy one throughout. The rang* of prices wag: Extra prime wether*, 283 I 3d to 41i; prime 22s 6d to 275; lighter, 18s to i 225; unfinished. 15s 3d to 17s 3d; prime ewes, 203 to 245; medium, 16s to 196 6d; aged, 13s I to 15a Bd; prime merino wethers, 19a 9d; i others, 9s 4d to lls Bd. The supply of beef comprbed 282 head of rcixed quality, and late rates were maintained. Steers brought £b 12s 6d to £11 7s 6d; ! heifers, £i 17s 6d to £8 12s Gd; cows, £4 2s 6d to £8 os—equal to 22s Gd to 25s for prime. and 20s to 22s for medium pf-r 1001b. Veal calves sold at 7s Gd to £3 7s Bd. There were only a few lots of store cattle offered, the sale of which d.d net afford quotations. Dairy cows were rather dull of sale at £3 10s to £7 17e 6d. j A moderate entry of pigs-were in keen de- ; maud, ptores selling especially well. Baconers i made 65s to. 75s for hoavy'-weights, and 48s to 55? for lighter—equal to 5d per lb.
