ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Christohuuch, October 12 The yardings, except m store sheep, were Bmill at) Addington to-day. The attendance was fairly good, and bu ioess m moßt classeß , showed a little more animation. Fat Cattle —The 163 head of fat cattle were mostly good to prime steers, there being very few heifers and cows m. Except for the very best Borts, prices were a trifle easier. A very fine bullock realised £14, a good line of 14 stpers from the North Inland averaging £112 i6d per head. Ordinary to good steers brought £6 to £9 10s. heifers | £5 10s to £7 17a 6d, and cows £3 7s 6 J to £6 2s 6d. Stobb Cattle —The store pens were well filled, the bulk being aged cows and back ward young stock. A nice Hue of three year-old steere brought £3, but other sorts were hard to quit at any price. Fat Sheep.—These were represented by » small yarding, the bulk of which were butchers' sorts, most of the beat corning irom South Canterbury and Southland. Although buyers for export were nob operating, there was very keen competition amongst butchers, especially for anything prime, and a diatisiot ii»e took place. Pric-:s obtained were—For extra prime merino Jwetherß 19j 6d to 22* 91, heavy crossbred ' wetherß 17s 6d to 2ls 9d, good 15a to 17s, and unfinished eorts 10s 9J to 13s 6.1. Prime heavy weight ewes 16s to 18s 91, good 12a 6d to 143. and half fat sorts down to 10j 6d. Fat Lambs —There was a large yarding of fat lamba, which met a good sale for the best sorts, which brought up to 14s 6d, but anything not good was slightly easier, a good many selling at from 9s to 10j. Stork sheep.—Some 5000 store sheep came forward, principally lines of wethers and hoggetß, the eweß and lambs being mostly odd, lots. The improvement m f«ed proßpeota oaused a better demand for all sorts, and a good olearance was made. Crossbred wethers fetched from 9a to 133 Id ; ewes and wethera 4s 81 to 10s, hoggets 7s to 10s sd. Pigs—A large entry of pigs, and all sorts, especially stores, were firmer, fats ranging from 4i ito 4£d per Ib. Per head baconers ran from 38s to 59 s, porkers 22* 6d to 345, large stores 31s to 375, smaller 17s 6d to 28s, and weaners 13s to 15n Entries for the day—749B sheep, 421 cattle, 360 pigs.

Will be ab Newmau's Stables every Saturday. Kino op Quality ia a dapple bay, rising six yeats old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North - Taleri. He is a oolt of great substance * and power, with mapy points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid faeb and pasterns, also great bone, olean and flowing, with nice silky hair— the true f badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He 1b r a prime mover, has good temper, and <■ sound constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Areyle (2567 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673. vol 1), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as ! a three-ye*r.old, firsb at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro* geny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown In New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S0 S B), grand f-ire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, NZ S B). He was gob by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent judge 3 to be one of the best horses ever la d<jd m New Zealand. King of Qmiiiy'B dam, Que n of Quality, (608, N Z S -B) show yard caret r is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it to say, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare ab 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. Qaeen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp ; 113, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize ab Taieri show and second at Dunedin. Jt will be seen from the above th»b King of Qaallty is descended from the purest strains of prize-taklng Clyd6S- lale blood, and cannot fail to make a nime fur himself as a sire. Has proved himself m th's district as a sure foal getter. Terms :— Guarantee —£4 4a. Season j marcs, £3 3a. Groom&go fee, ss. All maces chanfUug hand 1 , first owners held responsible.
