ADDINGTON MARKET.

, ♦ -r-"; ' BETTER STORE SHEEP SALE. LAMB AND BEEF VALUES DECLINE. i * (bs oub comnacm. editoe.) Tlie improved tone in the Btore sheep , market at the Addington sale yestpr- ; day was very, satisfying to the large I body of farmers gathered around the i pens. The improvement for ewes s ranged from Is to Is 6d. The entry > was the largest of fhe season and s included lines from the North Island, s Kaikoura, and Chatham Islands. A f line of four And six-tooth Romney 3 ewes from the Gishorne district sold bi at 18s—the highest price for breeding I ewes at Addington this season. The ) entry of store lambs was also a heavy I one. The sale was a steady one, with I no alteration in last week's rates. The i fat lamb entry was a good quality one, 1 but there was a slight easing in values. * This was expected as tne export schedule has eased from 4Jd per pound, for firsts to 4Jd. There was a sharp decline .of £i to £1 5s a head for fat ' cattle. The fat sheep sale was a little 1 irregular, but there was little quotable s change in late rates, except for light " ewes, which were a little easier. > STORE SHEEP. ' Supplies of adult stores were the heaviest penned this season, the sentry, together with I that in the store lamb pens, filling the i whole of the available accommodation with j the exception of a few odd pens. The entry, comprising mostly ewes, was largely a local 1 one, supplemented by drafts from the > North Island, the Chatham Islands,and Kaikoura. The yarding was exceedingly mixed, j but the older and backward sheep filled abig proportion of the pens, There was'a much freer demand than last week throughout t the sale, with a general, advance in values , of from Is to Is 6d a head. No doubt the rise, in the wool values here and 'at the Home sales was largely responsible for/ the more buoyant tone, but it is apparent now i 1 that farmers are recognising that there are 1 not so many ewes about as they anticipated there would be. Values were:—r " Extra good two-tooth Bomney ewes,' 15s 1 to 16s. . I Good two-tooth Romney ewes 18k to 14s 6d. .Extra good four and six-tootb Romney cross ewes, 16s to 18s.

The sale through- ' out was a ste&dy one lot lambs with bum £&d •, at values, that were on a par - with those * ruling ' last Wednesday,' despite the fact " that the fat lamb schedule has eaßed back a little thia week. For the plainer lamba the demand was irregular. Top price of the. [.] sale was 9s 2d, which was paid for a line II of Peninsula three-qUarterbreds. , There :: .were some first-class lines of Romneya from - tho Gisborue district, 1 the' top figure ,for the best of them, a line of'four; and- six-. :e tooths, being 18s, the highest price paid at Addington this eeason. There were several other .sales of young sheep at round a .about 16s and 17s. A fine line of fouryear' Corriedale eweß made ,11s 6d, olso top. price this season; The sale .of the • plainer ewes was an irregular one, but . values; all i round ■ were firmer,' There were not many | passings. , I , Values were: — Good rape lambs,' to 9s 2il. , Ordinary rape lambs, 7s to 8s Bd.
