ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Friedlander Bros., (John G. Restell acting Auctioneer), report on the live stock market for the past weeK as follows :—At the Tinwald yards on Tuesday there was an average attendance of farmers and others, and a yarding of 4489 sheep, 15 pigs, and 65 head of cattle. The fat pens were filled with good quality sheep, the butchers hav ing choice of fat merino ewes and wethers, two-tooth crossbreds and others. Prices were well maintained. We quote merino ewes, 8« 3d, 8s 4d; merino wethers, 7s 9d to 9a 9d; crossbreds. 11s 9d to 15s 3d. The Store pens were chiefly filled with hoggets, which with the exception of one or two lots, did not meet with keen competion. For crossbred ewes and lambs there was demand up to 15s for a pen of good sorts. Pigs are somewhat easier, those yarded being sold at considerably less than similar sorts realised a few weeks ago. We quote porkers 14s to 18s. There were not many fat cattle entered, fair competion resulting, and for stores there was not the usual enquiry, a largish line being turned out unsold, not meeting a buyer at owner's expectation. We have during the week sold privately 200 hoggets At 10s, 160 fat two-tooths at 14s 9d, 120 crossbred ewes with lambs at foot 15s, 65 four-tooth wethers 12i 6d.

Messrs Miles and Co., Limited (H. A.

The itore entries mainly compnaed hoggets and crossbred ewea. biddings for which were irregular. One or two lines of forward hoggets met with good competition at 9s 3d to 10s 6d, and we obtained up to lls for woolled *orte, but next quality were neglected at 6s 7d to 7a 10*1* A good por tion of the croisbred ewes had lambs at foot, and for these several -satisfactory sales were made, a line of old sheep m indifferent con dition but with large percentage of lambs Bold at 15s, smaller lines with lesser lambmgs at 10s sd. Ewea to lamb were hard to place at lower rates than lately current. For a large line of good station merino wethers we realised 10s. The extensive yarding of cattle mainly comprised stores, for which there was slack enquiry. Fat cows sold at £7 10s, £6 7a 6d, and £5 s*, store cattle £3 to £4 12s, several entries being held Over. For the 15 entries of pigs trade was slack, well forward stores making 14s Gd, porkers 17s 63 and 18s We sold 16 fat crossbreds 14s 4d, 20 two tooth orossbrede 153 3d, 135 merino wethera 10s, 59 crossbred hoggets 1 Is, 20 crossbred wethers 15s Id, 16 crossbred wethers 14s 4d, fat cow £6 7a 6d, 135 merino wethers 10s, crossbred hoggeta Si 3d.

There was a good attendance of farmers and others interested, bat by auction the biddings were slow, many lines having to be passed. Al most immediately afterwards I placed the whole of my entry, except 560, privately at prices about equal to last sales, and m some cases two shillings per head more than I was offered for the sheep by auction a few minutes bffore, thus proving that an auc tioneer requires to have knowledge of value, otherwise some one must suffer.
