ADDINGTON SALEYARDS.

The ynrcliiig of slore shwp numbered 4650. and it included three hug: lines of ewes and we the is from the North Island. There was not a very good demand for any class of stores, and a large proportion of the yarding was parsed. The North fcland liws failed to reach the reaervee nt iiuction, the two-tooth ewes reaching 13s oil, four-tooth ewes .14s 10.1, nnd two-t-ooth wethers 12s Id. Thn sheep were of Rom-ney-Lincolu cross, and were a fairly even lot, especially the two-tooth, ewe*. The following were the principal sales;—l4B fo.in. tooth ewes 14s lid. 92 at 14s 4d, and 130' at 14s, 130 four-tooth wethers 15s lid, 103 at. 15s 3d; 228 at 14s 3d, U5 two-tooth? 12s lid, and 196 at 12s. 255 lambs lls Id. 200 at 10s lid, 476 at 10s 10d, 550 at 10a Id, 124 at Qp 6d, 287 at ft; 4d, 288 at 9s Id to 9s 3d, 400 at a< 10d, 418 at Ss 6d,. and 141 at 8s 4d. There w.tjs an entry of 3034 fat lambs, (hft quality of some of the consignments showing an improvement on tbe .previous week. The sn'.o opened rathtT dull, but competition afterwards bc-came brisker, and late prices were aboub maintained.
