BEEF AND MUTTON
ADDINGTON MARKET. Electric Telegrapfi—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, April 6. At Addington market there was another heavy yarding of store sheep, good entries of fat sheep and lambs, and an exceptionally large entry of fat cattle, the total of 686 being next to the record number. Pigs were also in heavy supply. There was a free sale for forward stores, lambs, and other sorts met with a good demand from South Canterbury buyers. For local-ly-bred ewes the demand was' fairly good, while the best of two-tooth Noth Island ewes were wanted. Other sorts showed a further decline of Is 'to 2s per head on last week’s rates. Fat cattle were down by £1 to £1 5s per head. But the supply was well absorbed by butchers and there were very few passings. Fat sheep and fat lambs showed little or no change in value. Fat pigs sold well up to late rates. But stores, especially weaners, were much easier.
