ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

LARGER ENTRIES OF FAT STOCK. BEEF EASIER. GOOD SALE FOR FAT LAMBS AXD SHEEP. (»T OCR COMMERCIAL SDITOR.. The entries of fat stock were large, but stores were offered in smaller numbers. Fat cattle were somewhat easier. There was a good sale for fat lambs, and fat sheep, and there were but few store sheep offered. Pigs of all classes were generally easier. Store cattle met with a better "sale. STORE SHEEP. 1 *- the exception of a few rams tho entry of store sheep consisted of a couplo of pens of shorn wether hoggets, the yarding being the smallest seen at Addington for a considerable time, probably for years. Thero was the usual attendance, and probably as a result of improved feed prospects, as a consequence of the recent rains, there was a brisk demand. The two pens referred to realised good values, prices being quite equal to the best values ruling during the season. Prices ran R ed from 13s Sd to 14s lOd. The sales wero:—Hoggets—343 half and crossbred wethers at 13s 3d, 30 crossbred wethers at lis lOd. FAT LAMBS. There was a large entry of fat lambs, the offerings being the most numerous of tho season, totalling 63-5. Tho lambs were of nice even quality, as thtcomparatively short range of prices show. There was some business dono for export, but the competition was not at all keen, several of tho buyers only taking a tew lots. The demand on the part 'of the butchers kept up prices generally beyond the exporters' level, and the latter wero not buying freely, as tho works will only be open for a week, and sufficient supplies have been obtained direct from farmers.
