COMMERCIAL.

London, October 25 Mr Valentine, the dairy expert, is pro moting, and will shortly legister, a Colouiol Produce Distributing Company, with a large capital. He expresses himself confident that s-uch a Company wlil minimise the charges r>f distribution if colonial producers co-operate m taking up shares and divide the profits. In connection with the trail shipment of chilled beef by the steamer Port Pirie, it is fouud that the chilling machineiy wrr stopped at Colombo, and the ni^at had to be frozen. When the machinery stopped the meat was m excellent condition, and ex perts state they are convinced of the possi bility of conveying chilled meat to England, provided sufficient steam is furnished for the refrigerating chamber. The consignees in tend to institute legal proceedings owing to the stoppage of the machinery damaging the meat, London, October 26 Irish butter is lower than for a quarter of a century The general opinion among Smithfield dealers is a confident one that chi! led meat •will succeed with greater care.

ASHBURTONT MARKETS.

Mr D. Thomas reports upon the live •took market for the week .ending October 23, as follows:—Ou Tuesday at the Ash barton yardß the small entry of 3086 sheep, 25 head of cattle and 14 pigs came forward for the Way's yarding. Ihe entry was made up chieily of ewea with lambs at foot and hopgets. Crossbred ewes and lambs sold •well up to late sale rates and for this class there was a fair demand according to age and percentage, prices realising from 13s 3d, 13s 6d» 16s to 163 lOd, there being from 93 to 101 per cent, of lambs. Hoggets iv the wool I noticed a slight advance. Several lines of large frames and heavy fleeces came forward and were sold at prices satisfactory to vendors. One line of shorn hoggets was yarded and considering the size and quality a good sale was made. My entry for the day consisted of 1860 sheep, 5 head of cattle, 13 pigs, which I sold at the following prices viz:—l 6 fat crossbred ewea shorn 10s Id, 26 crossbred hoggets shorn 6s 6d, 204 two, four six and eight-tooth crossbred ewes, 183 lambs 13s 3d, 121 shorn hoggets 8? Bd, 55 crossbred hoggets 10a 2d, 82 crossbred ewes 83 lambs 16s, 44 hoggets 9s 2d, 209 second cross hoggets 12s 3d. Cattle—fat heifer £8, springer £6, 1 «tore steer £J 16s. Pigs—6 weaners 6s, 7 weaners 8s 6d. Privately during the week I disposed of 82 crossbred ewes and lambs 15s, 44 hoggets 8s 63- Arcade Horse Sale.—Oa Saturday I held one of the moat successful clearances since the beginning of the year, the entry being made up of an assorted lot both of draughts and hacks for which good prices were maintained. J*or draught horses I sold several before the sale, buyers eager to get supplied while they had a chance and con sequently after the sale a rush was made to pick up any sort of draught-able to go straight into work. OE an entry of 36 horses I sold 31 at the following :—Draughts aged £5 ss, £8, £10 10s; medium £10, £12 103, £13 10s, £14 10s. several at £15 10s. Good sores £1810 a, £20 10a ; hacks aged £3, £5, £7, £9 IDs; screws £1, £2 10s, £3; young sorts £8 10a, £9 10a, £10 ss, £15 10s.

Messrs Friedlander Bros, report on the live stock market for the week as follows :— The usual weekly sale was held at the Ashburton yards on Tuesday, October 23, at which there was a fairly representative gathering of all those interested m the stock trade. 'J he entries m the butchers' pens comprised some really good line 3of shorn fat ewea, both crossbred and merino, and also merino wethers. The bidding on the part of the trade was, however, very life less, and several lots were passed m at the hammer, although most of these were sold afterwards at figures higher than the bid ding at auction. This slackness on the part of competitors has a bad effect, as several farmers reel that they must look for a better market for their fat stock. The result will be that the best lines will be sent elsewhere for sale, unless the competition keeps up to the values of stock entered for sale. In the Btore pens, the entry comprised lines of woolly and shorn hoggets, two and four-tooth sheep, and ewes and lambs, for which competition was brick, for better sorts, We topped the market again with a line of 43 vpry prime hoggets, on account of Mr Williamson, Elgin, at 14a 91, and for another client we obtained 13s 10;t for 200. 'I he total entry fo»- the day was 3086 sheep, 14 pig*, and 25 head of cattle, 2 farm drays, 1 plough, of which we sold 40 merino ewes, shorn. 4s 9d ; 52 crossbred ewes, shorD, 9s 9d ; 23 ciossbred awes (m wool), lla ; 50 at 15 1 ; 251 half bred ewes and lambs, 153 ; 190 merino ewes and lambs, 8s 9d : 43 hoggets, 143 9J ; 200 hoggets, 13* 10(1; 190 four-tooth wether?, 13? 101; 1 springer, £8; lat £7 5s ; 1 steer, £4 10s ; 2 cows, each £4 12s 6d ; 1 cow, m DiT.fU, £5 ; 1 at £6 ; 1 at £7 17a 6d ; 1 at £6 ;m ; 1 calf, 4? 6d ; 2 farm drays, each £12 Privately dating the week we have placed several lines of sheep at prises satisfactory to aM concerned.

Cricket Song.

There's a game of fame, you know its name— 'Tis the British game of cricket. So with bat and bail, at the captain's call, Come rally around the wicket. When the match is made and the pitch is laid, And the sun shines m the sky, Bowl, bat, and run, till the game is won, Then shout thie «obg on high. Chorus— Oh ! the eye is keen, and the ball is seen Going straight from hand to wicket; But the"bat on guard strikes true and hard ; Hurrah for the game of cricket 1 There is life and health m score of wexlth As we rush for the flying ball ; And excitement keen when the bails are seen From wicket top to fall. And when fair caught out the fielders shout, Or the snore grows on apace. \Vf»*n s>ing our song, joyous and strong, While mirth beams «n each face. Chorus. JTi« an honest thought, the game is fought For the love of true sport alone, And if we lose or win, go out or m The game is each true Briton's own. 'lisa British game, and one of fame, So come, at the captain's cry, Bring bat and ball, and stumps and all, And shout this song on high. Chorus. There is lite and health, m store of wealth As we bat, or bowl, or field, And reward is won when we make a run, And our friendly fos does field. So Britons all come at the call, And rally around the wicket, And join this song of bat and ball. Hurrah for the f^me of cricket! Chorus.
