Answer
Let's say you use Internet Explorer and open Yahoo Email. Advertisements in Yahoo Mail are not blockable (yet.)
So for now, no. You can't unless you start using some email app like Thunderbird and then start adding to your spam filter and block lists. But folk want to use the Web mail so they will be overrun by advertising.

the adds are at the top of my mail list and change from credit cards to loans to auto ect. I can delete all but the last one. They are also missing the check box on the LH side. It is replaced with a dollar sign in a circle. Thanks for your response.

I've seen almost the same in Yahoo web email. Folk are not happy about it but there is an exit if folk go back to old fashioned email apps.

"Ads that can't be hidden
It's not possible to hide:
Ads that appear in Yahoo Mail on mobile and Basic mail versions.
The text ads that appear at the top of your Yahoo Mail account's folders."
