STOCK REPORT.
At the Addington yards on Wednesday there was a large attendance, and the bidding for fat and store sheep was remarkably dull, and sellers had to submit to a drop in prices as compared with late sales, in store cuttle there was very little business doing ; in fact, only one or two pens changed hands by auction. Later in the day, however, we heard of several lots being disposed of privately. The stock yarded complied 5300 sheep, 320 head of ca f tlo. and 403 pigs.
Sheep.—The quality of the sheep was exceedingly good when compared with that yarded for some weeks past. Primquality cross-breds realised from 18s to 21s each ; good ditto, from 13s to 17s • medium from 10 jto lis 61. Prime merinos brought 12s G I ; store merino ewes (broken mouthed), from 4s 3d to 4s G1 ; ditto wethers. Gs sd. We quote 2|d per lb as an average for mutton.
Cattle.—Prime bullocks pold up to £8 10s ; second quality wore dull of sale, and many lots wore passed in unsold. Three year-old store steers sold at J_s 5s ; calves, from 32s to 355.
Pigs —Owing: to the very large supply of pigs there was a further drop in prices, and many lols were difficult to dispose off.
