ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Chbibtohukoh, October 27. (_h«re were only medium entries in most oi the classes of stock at the Addington yards to-day. The attendance was not large, and business in most departments was any thing but brisk. The morning was fine, but about eleven o'clock a heavy hail storm, which did not last long, made matters rather uncomfortable t but when this had passed over the sun »gain shone out. The entries comprised 6047 sheep and lambs, 453 head of cattle, and 537 pigs. Fat Cattle —The supply of beef was made up of 124 head, of which about forty were in dealers' hands and were sold privately. Of those auctioned there were a lew good steers, but the bulk was only of secondary quality and a distinct falling off was notioaule from the previous week. Bidding for best beef was fairly good, but other aorta were neglected, and last week's rates were barely maintained, viz—lßs to 19s for best, 16s to 17s 6d for good, and 13s to 15s 6d per 1001b for inferior and cow beef. Prices per head were—£s to £8 10s for Bteers, £4 5s to £6 7s 6d for heifers, £3 to £6 15s for cows. Store Cattle.—There were about 250 store cattle to hand, the bulk being yearlings and two-year-olds. For these there was a slightly better demand and they chaDsed hands at 45s for two-year-olds up to 32* 6d for eighteen-months-old, and up to 23a for yearlings. Fat fcHEEP,—The yarding of fat sheep was an average one, but the quality w*a very mixed. Really good sheep in wool just about held their own at the opening of the sale, but shorn sheep, if anything, were easier. As the sale progressed only the very beßt sheep brought anything like last week's prices. About the middle of the sale a West Coast buyer caused matters to improve a little in shorn sheep, but when his wants were satisfied it was almost impossible to quit this class at anything like values, and number a were withdrawn from sale. Really prime heavy weight wethers brought 16a 3d to 18s 3d, good 14s feo 15a 6d, and backward 12s to 10s 6d ; prime heavy weight ewes 14s to 14s 9d, medium 12s to 13s 6d, prime shorn wethers ; 9a 3d to 10s 7d, medium 8a to 9s 3d, gocd j ahorn ewes 8s 6d to 10a 6d, and inferior to j medium 6s to Bs. | Fat Lambs. —The Beaßon has now fairly set i in and the entry was between 600 and 700. Although thero were soma very good lots, in cludingp-rizatakers at Leeston show, the bulk was of inferior quality. Ihe supply was in excess of the local demand, and price.-! felt all round, better classes weakening to the extent, of from U to la 6d per head, and inferior to medium from Is 6d to 2a. Keally good lamb* brought 10a to lis 6d, tnfldium eons 8a to 9* 6d, shorn crossbred ewes 10* j to 10s 6d. , ' • I t-.TOEF. Shed p.—About 1500 store sheep : were on ofi-.-r, most of which were fair to good hoggets iti wool, with a few forward ; woolly wethers, some shorn wethers, and a few pons of ewes and lambs. The scarcity of feed prevented any demand, and the sale was one of the worst for a long time, only a few lines changing hands as folbw*:— j 400 rood forward wethers at lis 7d and lis Bd, 300 good hoggets at 9a 7d, and 335 medium at 8s 8d j 100 shorn crossbred wethers and maiden ewes at 5a 6(1, and 50 awes and lambs at 7* sd. _ j>l og ._The pig yards were lasted to their utmost to accommodate the entry, which inotuded some very good sorts. All classes sold exceedingly well■-•baconers up to 3-Jd per lb, and porkers going over 4d per head. Baeoners were 34s 6d for Tamworchs, to 48« 6.1 tor Berkshire?. Porkers 21s to 295.

Will be ai Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bayj rising five years old, bred by Mr R Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points tc recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and p-steras, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prim, mover, has good temper, and sound con atitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland ; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare oelonging to an exceedingly favorable strain ot blood She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first aud champw.> upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC.S.B.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist .imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding nesds nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, NZ.S.B.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details j suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prists and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who- retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of I Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, 5.8.) King of Qualify as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, indasa three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from she above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
