COMMERCIAL.

London, S<?pt niber 4 The new scheme of the Stock Conversion Trust proposes to cleat witk deposit receipts to the value of two million sterling issu-d by the following Banks:—Australian Joint Stock Bmk, Bank of Victoria, City of Me' bourne Bank, Commercial Bank of Aus tralia, London Bunk of Australia. National Bank of Australasia, and Queensland National Bank It h intended to convert half the face value of the receipts into four percent cumulative preference stook, and remaim-er into s*.para«e flefetrod stocks for each Bank, thus enabling depositors to realise half the value of the deposits. Bankers have but little sympathy with the scheme, and it is not expected that many depositors will avail themselves of it.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market for the week ending September 4as follows:-On Tuesday at the linwM yards the attendance was fair, but biddings were dull, farmers not anxious to stock their pastures until a fair chance has been given to the young grass, yet a fair clearance was made. The entry was not so large as ex pected, only about 3000 sheep and 49 head of cattle coming forward. The butchers pens were far from full; only about eleven pens taken up, for which good prices were obtained. A pen of fine crossbreds fetched 19a and a good line of merinos 8s 2a. Some very nice crossbred ewes in lamq were to be seen, and sold from 10a to 15s. The greater portion-of the days' yardage was made up of merino ewes and crossbred hoggets, which sold quite up to late rates My entry for the day consisted of 1951 sheep and 23 head of cattle, which I sold ac follows:-8 fat hoggets 8s Sd, 6 two-tooth crossbrods 15s, 12 fat six-tooth crossbreds 15s, 118 firstcross hoggetts 7s 100 firstcross hoggets 10s lOd, 20 crossbred hoggets 10a, 386 crossbred ewes in lamb 103, 72 two tooth crossbred ewes and wether* 13s Id, 214 first cross hoggets 8« 61, 68 second cross nonets 9a 6n, 25 crossbred hoggets 11s 4d, 270 merino ewes in lamb 5s 3d, 78 merino ewes in lamb 5s 3d, 67 merino owes 4».

Th* entry for the clay consisted of about 3000 sheep and 13 head of cattle, of which I sold on account of various clients 2103 sheep at prices quite equal to Tinwald or Ahhbnrton yards. At the be ffiuntnK of tha sale biddings wcro dull, and nnst lines weie pasved in *.nd sold privately afterwards. The following ure the price*.

The totals collected were 2910 sheep, 39 bead cattle, and 9 pigs. In the butchers' quarter we were favored with the total entry of fat quality, except some half dozen sheep, and we reached high values for our entries of good crossbred and merino ewe 3, which were disposed of at 19s and 8s 4d respectively under brisk competition from the local trade, whilst for fat cro sbr< d ewes with lamb we reached 21s 5:1. In the portion of the yards reserved for freezing aheep the only entry was a line of 72 small crotsabreds requiring further feeding, which brought, 13s 3d, and a few fat hnggets changed owners At lls 4d. A large propor tion of the store market comprised crossbred hoggets, some lines of which sold well, whilst others, more especially inferior sorts, were neglected--prices realising from 10a lod and 9a 6-1, lower quality 7s down to 3*. We reached the highest, figure for crossbred ewe» in Limb, well conditioned two-tooth sheep, the property of Mr Co'lison, which had good enquiry and sold at, 15=s whilst 13? and lOil was obtained for half bred ewes of satisfactory quality.
