A FULL ENTRY. Again to-day at Addington there were very full entries in all departments excepting store sheep.

The sheep yarded td'-day comprised a good proportion of store lambs, the ewes were a decidedly poor lot, and with one or two notable exceptions the wethers were only medium to inferior. Values were about" the same as last week, though .there was hardly so much that failed to change hands at auction.
