Chlrstchurcll, November 13, At Addington there wero fairly laJrgo entries of stock, and a geoa attendance, j increased interest being added to tlv: sale of fat Ehoc-p and lambs by tho fact that it was tho first ealo since tho ononing of the freezing works; Fat cattle did not 801 l quite -so freely as at the previous salo. Store sheep were in . Itcon&r demand than at lato sales, a«4 ■ fat limbs were very firm. The fat sheep market opened well, but eased a little towards, tho end: Fat piss sold very .freely sat , lato' rates,- and Btoro and 1 dairy ' cattle soid well. Tho. entry of store sheep was on exceptionally Email one, aggregating less than 1000. About half tho yarding consisted of wethors in ■ wool,.- tho halance being mado up of a pen of hoggets in j wool, two or ■ three email pens of , , shorn sheep, and a few ewes with lambs. Thcr.e was a good attendance, and prices, if any thing, wero even more keen than at recent sales, due, no doubt, very largely to the Euperabundance of- feed to be found in all localities. .Four and sh-tootli wetbers in wool mnde its. 9d. to 265. lid.; poorer sorts realising 195.; 4 and 6-tootb ehorn forward wethers, 16s. lid.; shorn hoggets.

I There was a fairly largo yarding of | fat sheep, • which were mostly shorn, and they were in better condition than sheep in wool. Tho market opened imder j keen competition on the pnrl, of biitchere, who, in consequence of there being no salo last week, were in want of full . supplies. Prices wore very firm, and at the opening of tho sslo were beyond lira limits of export buyeis, n.tid thonga values efKsed somowhat towards tho close of the salo, there , v,-a* scafdMlv aiij business dono for export.'
