Addington Market Buoyant Sale For Store Cattle

Yardings of store sheep at Addington market yesterday were appreciably larger than for the preEaster sale. Lambs and wethers showed the greatest increase.

There was a large attendance of buyers and the heavy yarding of lambs was absorbed on a rising market. Ewe lambs were definitely dearer. In the remaining store sheep sections values were firm on late rates, with the few good quality ewes yarded slightly dearer.

Easily the largest entry of the season of store cattle met a very buoyant market. Steer calves, in particular, showed a sharp advance and values were also better for adult cattle. The entry for the store sheep sale totalled 10,259 head compared with 7993 head two weeks ago. 'lt was made up of 7674 lambs, 328 two-tooth ewes, 1194 older ewes and 1063 wethers.

LAMB SALE The heavy entry of store lambs, which was about 2000 up on the preEaster sale, was readily absorbed. A large gallery followed the sale, which was held in brilliant sunshine. Feed prospects thus being further enhanced, the sale got away to a good start, and this buoyant note was maintained throughout the day. Although there was a big tail-end, values over all for wethers were about 2s better than at the sale of two weeks ago, and the auction finished on a very firm note. Ewe lambs rose by 4s to 5s a head. The market for wether lambs was topped at 71s by a pen of South Suffolk cross lambs from the Hughes Partners (Rotokohu), who also sold another pen at 69s 6d. Another good sale was that of 73 Romneys at 695, by A. G. Rawlinson (Methven). A well-grown and well-woolled pen of Corriedales sold on behalf of R. A. Witbrock (Oxford) topped the ewe lambs at 87s, and the same vendor’s second run of 80 made 775. The best of the wether lambs made from 66s to 71s, good 58s to 625, average 50s to 575, and light down to 40s. The pick of the ewe lambs made 78s 6d to 87s, average to good 65s to 73s 6d, and small and plain 50s to 58s. Owenga Farm (Flea Bay) sold 89 shorn wether lambs at 66s and 98 at 61s, and J. F.

BURNSIDE

(New Zealand Press Association) DUNEDIN, May 1. The trade bid keenly for all classes of stock at today’s Burnside sale, the first for a fortnight. Better class young wethers among the 4000 fat sheep offered fetched prices about 2s below those at the last sale. Aged and indifferent sheep were 8s to 9s cheaper. The fair offering of ewes sold readily at late rates.

The largest entry of fat lambs for some time included a few consignments of excellent quality. Because of the increase in schedule rates and the improvement in wool values, values rose 6s to 7s. The trade and freezing works buyers competed freely. Extra quality lambs made up to 103 s, prime 84s to 90s, medium 74s to 78s, and light from 645. About 600 fat cattle met a strong demand, but because of the big supply values tended to ease. Prime light-weight ox sold best, at prices close to those of the last sale.

Tinwald Sale
