ADDINGTON YARDS.

Fat Lambs at Schedule Rates. DULL SALE FOR BEEF. Full schedule rates were paid for fat lambs sold at the Addington stock sale to-day. The quality of the yarding was not as good as last week's. Owing to the continued warm weather the demand for the moderate entry of beef was poor, and only the best quality were in request. Store sheep were yard*ed in numbers slightly greater than last week, and there was a slight easing in the values of wether hoggets. i'at Laniiis. The quality of the fat lambs was not up to that of the previous week, much of the entry showing signs of dryness. The sale was a keen one at full schedule rates, which remain unchanged on a basis of 7Jd for up to 36’«. Top price of 26s 4d was secured for seven of a line of 140 sold on account of R. J.

There was a moderate entry of beef, but with the hot weather of the past fortnight, the public demand for beef has fallen off, and the sale was very dull. For the best cattle there was a icertain inquiry, but for anything not of the highest quality the demand was very •slow indeed. The quality of the yarding " a The°foilowlng were the earlier sales: On account of W. Leonardo (Le Rons Bay). 10 steers at £lO 2s 6d to £ll 117 s 6d, 12 heifers at £7 7s fid to £8 L7s 6d, 2 cows at £7 12s 6d and £7 17s ftd: Garcia’s Estate (-Laverick’s Bay), steer at £lO 17s 6d; John Fitzsimmons (Cheviot). 7 steers at £8 12s fid to £0 2s fid; South Canterbury client. 12 steers at £7 12s fid to £0 17s fid: Le Ron’s Rary client, 6 steers at £5 12s 6d to £7, 3 heifers at £4 17s 6d : W.

The sale opened with values much the same as those that obtained at the previous sale, though ewe mutton later showed an easing tendency. Exporters were fairly free purchasers of wether mutton, at schedule rates. Store Sheep. Young wethers of assorted variety constituted the major part of the store than it has been lately. Much interest was shown in the sale, but there was an easier tendency about the market, particularly for wethers. The few ewes penned sold up to late rates. The hot weather is having an effect on feed on the lighter land, and this, together with the possibility of a drop in meat prices shortly, is making fatteners a little The princsinal sales were:— Wethers—27 four-tooth Romney at 13s Id: 68 two. four and six-tooth at 14s Od: 82 two-tooth half-bred at 17s lid, 72 at I)7s Od. 38 at 16s 7d. 80 at 16s 4d. 70 at 15s id. 60 at 16s Od. 36 at 1 Rs; 160 two-tooth cross-bred at 16s 7d to 16s 8d; 63 four-tooth Romney at ISs Sd; 40 at 18s Se: 140 four. =ix and eight-tooth Corriedale at 16s Sd: 35 four and stx-tooth Romney at 17s 9d, 25 at ISs Sd.
