Ashburton Markets.

MR DAVID THOMAS. Mr D. Thomas reports on the live stock market in tbe Ashbutton district for the week ending November 18:—On Tuesday the usual weekly sale of live stock was held in the Ashburton yards, the entry being a moderate one. The day was one of the most disagreeable we have had this season, a howling nor'wester tiying to depreciate the values of sheep and cattle. In spite of the weather, however, prices may be quoted as very firm for all good sheep, other qualities selling well according to size, con dition, etc. The total yarded for the day consisted of 4050 sheep and thirteen head of - cattle, of which my contributions comprised 1996 sheep and twelve head of cattle. There was a good attendance of fanners, dealers, and others interested, and a fair clearance was effected at the following prices, viz :— seventy merino wethers 7s 8d; forty-two shorn merino ewes 5s lOd ; 241 shorn merino ewes 5s 9d; forty merino wethers 9s 8d ; thirty three merino wethers 11s 4d; sixty-seven merino wethers 11s 6d; five fat crossbred ewes shorn 11s; thirty-two merino ewes shorn 6s; 100 crossbred ewes with 100 per cent lambs 17s 6d ; thirty-four merino ewes and lambs 12s; six fat .sheep 20s 6d; 149 crossbred hoggets 13n 7d; 125 merino wethers 7s 9d; 163 crossbred four-tooth shorn 14s 6d, (sent forward by Mr S. Wright —a very grand line); 358 small crossbred two-tooths in wool 12s 3d; twenty-eight merino ewes, nineteen lambs 9s 2d; etc. In cattle I sold one springer £6 17s 6d; one springer £4 7d 6d; one springer £4 10s; one fat cow £4 7s} one fat Steer £5 16s; one fat cow £5 2s 6d; jersey bull £1 sa; etc. During the week I have had many enquires for /rood store hoggets and cross bred ewes and lambs, but have been unable so far to supply the demand. I have sold privately since last report 1232 crossbred two-tooths at a satisfactory price, also 450 crossbred two-tooths 14s l£d in the wool; forty-five crossbred ewes with lambs at foot 15a 6d j 140 merino ewes with lambs 10a 6d; 350 small crossbred hoggets lls 9d; 300 crossbred two-tooths small 13s lid; etc. HoBSK Market.—On Saturday I held my usual weekly horse sale at Bullock's arcade. Owing no doubt to the holidays there were fewer horses entered than has been the case of late, the total entry only mustering 26, of which a very fair proportion were sold. Good draught horses sent in now would sell well, but it is no use running round the paddocks to send in all the screwed up horses just because I say there is a good demand. Buyers have their eyes open generally,>nd if they hadn't it would be a pad job for them sometimes.
