ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Fiiedlander and Co. report upon the livestock market for the week ending August 9 : — 1 here was a good yarding at the Ashburton yards on Tuesday last. 6397 sheep and 7 catt'e -were entered. The attend ance at the opening of the sa'e was very limited, but increased later on, and a very good clearing of all classes of stock was made. A good demand for all classes of cool ewes in lamb seemed to exist. Two Fines of re illy good rrerino ewes, full mouth —one oq account of Mr I. M. Thompson, of Wakanui, and the other on account of Mr W, F. Allen, w«ll forward in lamb—were eagerly competed for, and realized 6s 6d and 6§ lid, but these prices must not be taken as those of ordinary ful!-mouth ewes, for the two lines sold were really good sorts. There was also an entry of the beat lambs yarded this year. These were sent forward and sold by us on account nf Mr George C ie, of Wftkanm, together with a line of four-tooth vcra?tbred wethers, the former realising 11s oi"Mid the latter 15s 7cl. Besides the lines above referred to, there was nothing of any special merit to note. In the fat pe»p, there were some heavy weight crossbred ewes, which were sold at from 10s 6d to 11s 3d, and up to 12s Got for some two-tooth mixed texea. Lighter sorts sold at 8s 3c! to 9s 6d 5 merino ewes, 5s 7d to 6a lid; merino wethers, Bs. Out of the totil yarding our entry w*s 2568 sheep and 2 cattle, and we disposed of the following lines:—3B cross bred ewes ds 31, 10 merino ewes 53 7d, 20 crossbreds, mixed sexes, 12a 6?, 60 at lls 4d, 88 cull lambs 3s lOd, 15 at 2s 3d, 123 •mail lambs 6s 2d, 152 crossbred two-tootha 10s 9d, 62 two-tooth crossbred ewes m lamb 10b 6d, 336 merino ewes 6a 6d, 332 four & 6-tooth $-bred ewea in lamb 10s, 35 small two4ooths 7s, 168 crossbred lambs lls 9d, 72 four-tooth wethers 15s 7d, 20 cull merino ewes in lamb la od, 270 crossbred ewes, aged, 4a 9d, 169 two and four-tooth wethers 10s Bd, 298 two-toot ha, mixed sexes, 83 6d, 250 merino ewes 6a lid. A very small entry of fceef and store cattle yarded. Nothing of any special merit. Frivatety during the week we disposed of, on account of a client, a line of two-tooths for finishing off at 123 4d, and another line of the same class at 10s 6d.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in the Ashburtoa county for the week ending August. 9 as follows :— On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards, the usual weekly sale of live stock was held. There was an average attendance of farmers and others interes'ed, and although biddings in many cases were slack, still a fair clear ance up to a shade under last week's rates has to be reported. Several of the lines offered showed signs of the late rough weather and scarcity of feed. The totals offered for the day were 6397 sheep and 7 hsad of cattle, of which my entry comprised 3812 sheep and 5 head of catfele, I succeeded i in placing over 3000 sheep at the following quotations :—Fat sheep—9B fat merino ewes 5s 91, 37 two and four-tooth crossbred ewes and wethers 10,*, 30 merino wethers 8s 3d, 15 crossbred ewes 9< Id, 17 crossbred wethers 10« 6d, 4 crossbred wethers 12s 6rl, 28 merino ewes ih lid, 2i merino ewes 6s 91.

Cattle.—l fat ] cow £5 ss, I at £8 53, 1 springer £5 7s 6d. On Saturday, Augusb 3, my usual sale of horses', etc., took place. There is not much demand for horses, as a number of farmers are holding back for the fair, which takes place on August 23, for which I expect a fair entry. The following are a few of the prices ob'ained .—Draught horses L 9 15s, LlO 10s, LI 3, Ll4 5s ; hacks L 7 10*, LS sa, L 9, L 9 15s. Furniture Sa'e. —I held a clearing sa'e of the contents of a boarding house, which I cleared at fair prices considering the condi tion in which it was offered.
