ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET.

Meters Friedlander Bros.. report upon the live stock market for the week ending May 26. The entries at the Ashburton yards again exceeded expectations, but notwithstanding this a good deal of busi ness was done at prices which quite equalled thowe of the previous week's sale, nearly &U lines of good sheep meet ing with lair competition* An exception to this, however, was noticeable in merino store Wethers, for which there was great difficulty in obtaining a bid. Fat pens were chiefly filled with merino wethers, which met with good competition from the trade prices ranging from 63 6 i to lls according to quality and weight; merino ewes, 6s to 7a 4d ; a few pens of cross bred ewes sold up to 13s ; two and four .tooth ewes and wethers from 13s to 15s 3d. There was a very good yarding of forward conditioned two-tooth crossbred' Sheep, which Bold more freely at prices ranging from 15j 6d to 16s Id. Back ward two-tooth crossbred, rather small, ■old at lls 6d to 12s 6d. in lambs there was a fair yarding, selling from 9s to 12s Id according to quality. Merino ewes and store merino wethers did not meet with a strong demand and were mostly withdrawn. We sold on account of various clients 50 merino ewes, 7s 4d; 38 nisrino wethe ■ |10s 3i; crossbred, 13s lOd ; 60, 12s lid; 14, 12s 6d ; 100 two and four-tooths, 15a 9J ; 264 two-tooth half-breds, l*s Id ; 200 fat two-tooths, 15s 6d ; 100 first-cross lambs, 11s lOd ; 78, 98 4d ;62 merino ewes, 5s 3d; 75 merino wethers, 3s 6d. Ihere was a total absence of beef and the few store and dairy cattle sold very well. We sold two cows in profit at £7, and £5 15s.

Messrs Miles and Company, limited, report on the weekly stock sale held at the Ashburton yards on Tuesday, May 23, as follows :—Considering the season of the year a good supply of stock was brought forward to the Ashburton yards, the totals being 7248 sheep, 18 head of cattle and one pig, the former comprising principally crossbred wethers and iambs. The attendance wus also good and the majority of the entries met with ready sale at an improvement on recent quota tions, and during the day nearly all the lines changed hands. The butcher's pens were mostly occupied, and the first por tion showing an improvement in quality sold freely at enhanced rates. Fat merino wethers made 8s 9d, 9a and lls; good stores, 6s 6d to 7s 105 ? a line of station wethers for turnips, 5a 7d to 5s 9d ; fat merino ewes realised 6 s 4d and 7s 4d ; fat crossbred ewes and wethers, 14s€d,15s 6d, and 16s 3d ; store, from lls 6d to 13s 10.
