ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Ohkistchuroh, November 13

There was a good attendance at the Addington market to-day, but business was not particularly good Fat Cattle —198 head yarded. The sale was rather weak at the opening, but improved as it went on. Steers realised from £6 to £9 10s, heifers from £4 15s to £6 2s 6d, and cows from £4 10s to £7 15a. Prime beef may be quoted at 22s to 25s per 100'bs, and cow beef at 17s to 183. _Tofc_ Cattle —Large entry. Competi tion slack, and business dragged. Fat Sheep. — Between 8000 and 9000 came forward. Competition was not keen, and prices were irregular. Heavy shorn ! crossbred wethers, 15s to 17s; ewes, lis tc j 14s; medium wethers, lis 6d to 14a 6d ; ewes, 9« to 10a 6d ; lighter sorts, 6s 6d to 8s 6d: merino wethers, 6s to 9s. In wool, crossbred wethers 16s 6d to 22s 6d; ewes, 13s to 17s 6d; merino wethers, lis to 13s. Store Sheep.-—There was a fair entry of store sheep, and a good demand. The entry consisted mostly of ewes and lambs, hoggets, and two-tooths. Shorn merino ewea, with good lambs, fetched 8s; merino ewes in the wool and lambs, 5s to 7s ; shorn crossbred ewes and lambs, 5a 7d to 8s ; crossbred ewes, mixed ages, in forward condition, 6s 8d to 7a 6d ; shorn hoggets, 4s 3d to 8s 3d ; shorn two tooths, 8s lid. Lambs.—The entry was exceptionally large, and a slight fall in values is to be re corded . Good to prime lambs brought 8s to 12s and up to 14s 6i for prize pens. Pigs.—Cood demand for all sorts. The tone of the market for baeoners was kept even by the operationa of a buyer from Wel lington. Baeoners and porkers realised equal to 3d per lb, the prices being—baeoners 25s 6d to 35s 6d, porkers, 149 to 235, and stores up to lis.

CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET

Wheat is not offering at all freely, and holders are seeking prices in advance of the actual market values. Up to Ss 9d has been paid in Ashburton, equal to a fraction over 4s f.0.b., but buyers operating with a view to shipment find it impracticable at present io give this piice. Oats maintain a steady, upward move, and prices look more like hardening than the reverse. From ls 10d to 2s, at country stations, represents the actual current value of the day. Barley is all bub cleared, only an odd line here and there remaining available. Prices have settled clown at from Ss to 3s 3d for good malting, 2s 6d to 2s 9d representing the value of inferior grades. Peas have been sold at up to 2s sd, and a line of about 500 sacks found a buyer on Tuesday at this figure. Potatoes are rather dull. Reports from Australia respecting recent shipments from here are anything but satisfactory, and although the identical shipments referred to were carefully picked over, and budded just prior to shipment, and appeared to be in good order, they arrived in an unmarket able condition. They are very dangerous goods to touch at this period of the year. There is nothing stirring in other lines calling for any special reference.

THE AMERICAN CUP

Washington, November 12

The American press is furious at a pamphlet issued by Lord Dunraven respecting the recent race for the American Cup. He implied that the Defender sailed under one weight and measure, and the Valkyrie under another. Yachtsmen demand his ex pulsion from the ISew York Yacht Club.

Damsel was a prizetakcr at various shows in Otago and Southland. Polly was also the dam of the champion horse Hard Times, and was first at the Southland A. and P.
