AUCTIONEERS' REPORTS.

Messrs H. Matson aud Co. report on tho Live Stock Market. &c, for the week ending Thursday, Cfct. 12 h, 1882, as follows : —Yesterday's Addington market was noteworthy as presenting an exceptionally Binall "supply of sheep, about 3000 of all classes only'being penned. Of this number the greater part were prime butcher's linos, the quality, both in crossbreds arid merinos, being all that could be desired. Tho aniicipatiou of tbe morning that the tin.all maikot meant keen competition and run. h high -r prices was scarcely borne out, for fdihoii.'h certain lines of sheep brought perl a »s G i to Is per head more than they would have done the week previous, yet on the whole a feeling of marked indifference was shown by the trade, and several lots of mniion were withdrawn. We certainly consider lb it, small ac the market was, th,:re was ample to meet the day's requirements, and any increase in the entry would probably have meant further withdrawals. In crossbreds Messrs Gould aud Cameion, H. Chamberlain, D. Morrow and T. Langdon's wethers brought from 18s to 19* and 20s Gl pT head ; light weights for various owners. Via 61 to 17s 61; M'-srs Guild and Oanivon'smM'inos brought 14s aud 14s Gl; Morrow's, 14*; th mgn wie palm of the day in this class of cheep had to be. accorded to Messrs Mavell and Mathias for a pen of tho grandest iii'rinoi wo have ever seen sold in time yards, th dr pii c bei:i'4 13s 61.
