Large yardings in the fat sheep and fat lamb sections of the Metropolitan Market at Addington on Wed nesday, were responsible for a decline in values in both sections. The fat sheep entry numbered 7000. the largest for a number of months. The quality was good, some of the lines offered being outstanding. There was a steady demand throughout both sales. Butchers report that the demand for lamb is now beginning to fall off, and in consequence of this, many of them limited their purchases slightly. Freezing buyers took all they could. The fat cattle entry was unimpressive as far as quality went. With the exception of a few outstanding lines, the offering was plain. The best beef sold well, but there was an easing in the price of all other grades. Although the veal entry was poor in quality, there was an advance of 5s a head in price. The entry of pigs was large, and there wa s an allround easing of values.
