ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Miles and Company, Limited, re* port as followß upon the weekly stock sale held at the Tinwald yards, on Tuesday, April 3:—A reduction upon the numbers of recent yardings was shown last Tuesday at ilhe Tinwald market, when there were collected 15,457 sheep, 80 rams, 49 head cattle, and 18 piga. For g«od young sheep late values were well maintained, but for old and indifferent sorts there was slack trade Nothing of importance was collected in the fat pens, the majority consisting of only medium crossbred and merino awes, which made from 5s to 12s 9d for the former, and 2s 6d to 3s 8d for merinos. We offered a large line of exceptionally good two-tooth* halfbred ewe», but only succeeded in dis posing of a small proportion of this entry at 12s 6d, older crossbreds for breeding selling from 6s 3d to 11s. The store merino ewes under offer comprised farmers' lots, which changed hands at 2s to 4s 8d ; boilers, 9d to 1b 6d. Store lambs sold at 7s to 9s for best quality, and 3s 6d to 6s for indifferent sorts. We submitted a mob of crossbred freezers, which were passed at 14s. Our sa^s were 208 fat merino ewes, 3s 8d ; 21 merino ewes, 2s 4d ; 64,25; 41 mixed two-tooth crossbreds, 10s Id; 177 merino ewes, Is 6d ; 142 cross bred lambs, 6s 9d ; 668 store lambs, 5s 6d and 53 7d ; 125 halfbred two-tooth ewes, 12s 6d j 114 crossbred ewes, 9s 4d; 170 merino ewes, boilers, Is; 74 cull lambs, 2a; 138 ewea, 2s 9d; 388 store lambs, 5a 4d; 135 crossbred ewes and wethers, Us 3d ; 195 lambs, 6s 6d ; 226 merino ewes, 3s 3d and 3s Id; 296 crossbred ewes and wethers, lla; 82 merino ewes, Is 9d ; 73 cull lambs, 2a 2d; fat cow, £6.

Mfcsurs Friedlander Bros, report upon the live stock market for the week ending Friday, April 6, as follows :—The weekly fixture at Tinwald was not well attended by anxious buyera, and in consequence the large entry met with dull sale Wi' ha few ex ceptions the general quality of the sheep was below the average, and ealea were effected with difficulty. The day's yarding was 15,457 sheep, 80 rams, 49 head cattle, and 18 pigs. A large proportion of the sheep consisted of crossbred ewes and lambs, with a line or two of forward conditioned cross breds for finishing, the balance being made up of two-tooths, aged ewes and boilers. In the fat pens merino ewes sold at from 3s 6d to ss; crossbreds from 7s to 8s 6d; and up to 11s 6d for four-tooth, and from 11s 6d to 12s 9d for two-tooths. In store sheep several linea of half and three-quarterbred two tooths were disposed of at from 10s 6d to 11s 6d. The demand for breeding ewea was limited to young sheep, those described as sonnd-mouthed not meeting with much attention, and weie hard to quit. The former sold afc from 10s 6d to 12s 6d, the latter price being obtained for some of Mr Harper's two-tooth ewes, other sorts selling at from 7s to 9s 6d, according to quality, the ewes being difficult to sell at any price. There was a good entry of lambs, but the prices realised for them showed a decline on the values of previous week. Beat sorts met fair competition, small and inferior aorta were hard to quit at lower rates. Our «otry for the day was 3170 sheep, 12 mms, 37 head of cattle, and 6 pigs, of which we sold 30 merino ewes at 4s 6d, 20 at ss, M at 4s 9d, 28 at 3s 6d; 24 two-tooth wethers, 12s Id j 337 six and eight-tooth crossbred ewea, 9s tfd; *7 small halfbred lambs, 6s 6d ; 143 two^iooths, 10s 3d ; 148 crossbred lambs, 9s 3d; 182 at 7s 6d; 245 halfbred lambs 8s Id ; 114 boilers, 1b Id. On Wednesday,, April 4, we held a^ery miccessful clearing sale at Mr W. F. Somerville's homestead, the Terraces, Meth ven. The attendance of those interested and otherwise wan large, and we managed fco effect a clearance of the whole of the lots catalogued, excepting a favorite and well bred brood draught marc, and the prices realised must be considered satisfactory in the present state of affairs The horses were a good stamp, »n& the implements in good working order. The usual odd lots at clearance sales were conspicuous by their absence, and the sale proceeded with ve-y little delay. The following are some of the price* obtained:—Set tine harrows, £3 2s 6d; chaffcutter and horsemower, £8; double furrow plough, £7 10s; lat £315s ; Duncan cultivator, £7 10s; disc harrows, £9; Dun can roller, £8 ; dray with frame, £13 and £7 10a; W. A. Wood's leapers and binders—l at £14 and 1 at £8; daisy c&rt, £7 15s; 4 horse pulleys and chains, 87» 6d per set. In horees, we sold bay gelding, seven years, £10 10s; black mare, £12; bay gelding, nine years, £10 10s; bay mare, eight years, £10; bay gelding, £14 j black gelding, £10; the brood mare Darling was withdrawn at Ll6, her foal by Diplomacy being sold at L 8 10a; aged chestirafc cob realised L 8 10s; brown cob, Ll3; bay yearling draught filly, L 9 ; black yearling draught filly, 17; hack filly by Phoenix, JL4 10s ; thoroughbred mare by Detractor Lll, and her foal by Aptemont LlO. Cows in profit realised from L 8 10a to L 12:1 heifer, eighteen months old, L 4 15s; Shorthorn bull, £4 ss; Berkshire boar, Ll 10s; Berkshire sow, L 3 10a. The halfbred sheep were a nice lot, and were knocked down at for two-tooth store sheep 11s 9d, and somw in forward condition at 13s 7d, An extra entry of lambs sold at 7a and merino ewea 2a 3d. The competition for the cropping land was keen, and it was eventu ally knocked down at 20a 6d per acre, the farmers in the Mebhven district evidently not having lost faith in grain growing.

IMPERIAL POLITICS.

London, April 5. A Bill was introduced'in the House of Commons providing that pensions should be limited to persons over 65 years of age, and that they be made partly self-supporting, the amount of ' pensions to range from 7s to 3s 6d per, week. Mr Shaw Lefevre, President of the Local Government Board, said the proposal would cost the State fourteen millions sterling. The debate on the measure was adjourned pending the, receipt of the report of the Royal Com- i mission, which was set up to consider the question of pensions. April 6. The East; London Water Bill has beer read a second time in the House of Commons by a majority of 1. The Ministers opposed the measure. The secession of the P*rnellites and Healey section is seriously weakening the Government in connection with the debate on the scheme for a Scotch Grand Committee. , In the election for the Middle f Division of Lanarkshire Mr Caldwell (Liberal) was returned by a majority of 330 votes. The following Committee was set up to enquire into the working of the Irish Lands Acts:—Messrs Morlsy, Healey, Carson, Sexton, Wharton, Willox, T. W. Russell, and Knox.

Colonial Affairs

London, April 6

Sir T. Mcllwraith, addressing the party in the House of Commons, said New Guinea was the best field for recruiting coloured labour. He urged that the colonies should be consulted before their Governors are appointed. The Queensland separation movement was, he said, virtually extinct. He thought the Imperial Government ought to encourage emigration. Admiral Colomb, writing to the " Times," says if the Imperial Govern ment pays subsidies to Huddart's new steamship line, and to the Pacific cable, the Australasian warships ought to be available for general service in the Pacific, and the land forces of the various Australian Colonies ought to be available for service between Halifax and Australasia. There is no indication that Sir Thomas Mcllraith has achieved any 1 success in connection with his proposed land grant railways. Company pro moters require a guarantee and a small dividend during the progress of the work, and they hesitate to incur the cost of forming companies and to undertake surveys without adequate assurance that they are likely to be recouped for expenses entailed. Sir G. S. Baden Powell intends to ask whether it is competent for Parlia ment to grant subsidies to Huddart's steamship line and the Pacific cable.
