Owing to the Easter holiday period making it- impossible to have stock killed in time, values at the Aletropolitan .Market at Addington on Wednesday were easier than they were k* st week. Butchers filled their requirements at the previous sale, and yesterday they bought sparingly. The fat cattle section contained a reduced entry, the quality being below that offered last week. Values were down by 10s to los a bead over a dragging sale. The but sheep pens contained entries liom Otago and the Chatham Islands and the quality was fair. There was little demand for butchers’ sorts, which consequently were easier, but for medium and light-weights in first-class condition there was a good inquiry. Values were easier, over the whole sale, but not quotable so, The fat lamb entry was considerably smaller, and contained a, good number that were not attractive. Values were lower by a shilling a head. Veal sold at late rates, but both pork and bacon pigs were easier.
