ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live atonic market for the week end ing May 17, m follows:—On Tuesday at the Ashburfon yards the usual weekly sale was held. There was a good attendance of farmers, dealers, and others, and bidding was more free than has beon the case for acme time. The yarding of sheep was not large, only number ing 3086 sheep, 32 cattle, 15 pigs and 10 rams. The class of sheep yarded was cross bred lamb 3, with a few pens of two tooth crossbreds, and merino ewes, and all lots were cleared by auotion at fairly satisfac tory prices, crossbred lambs sold from 6i to 0d in advance of late snles, and good two tooths in forward condition were disposed ot fre \y I w>kl on account of a number of clients, 40 fat merino ewes 43 s<l, 11 fat crossbreds 6s 4d, 2 fat croasbreds 7s 6d, 4 fat two-tooth 53, 30 merino ewes 2a 61, 30 merino ewes 2i 7J, 25 fat crossbreds 5?, 5 ram» 3s, 18 merino ewea Is Bd, 5 rams 3s 6d, 20 crossbrod lambs 2a &l, 50 merino ewea Is 6d, 50 crossbred lambs 6j Id, 134 crossbred lambs 5», 120 two-'ooth crossbreds ' 7s 6d, 8 rama 53* Also, 32 cattle an fol io w«-l heifer £2 ss, 2 fat steers £5, 1 fat heiter £3 10s, 1 yearling £1 ss, 2 fat heifers «3 15s, 3 steers £1 18s, 3 fat steers £4, 2 steers £4 17>, 2 steers £3, 3 cattlo £2 9a, 1 cow £114s, 2 calves 7s 6d, 6 cattli* 15s.

On Wednesday 1 held one of the most successful clearing sales which has taken place fn the district for some time. The ■ale took place at Roxburgh, under instruc tions from the Deputy Official Assignee in the estate of Messrs Friedlander Bros v There was a large attendance, people coming from all parts of the district expecting to pick up a few nibbles but were disappointed, •fter the first few lots were offered and knocked down. Competition was brhk and every lot was speedily cleared at prices in excess of what was anticipated. The follow ing aro a few of the prices:—Sundries Is, 2s 6d, 3s, 6s, 10a, 12a; tools 3s 63, 6% 7s, 12* ; oats 4s lOd per baer, wheat 10i 3d per bag, oat-Bheaf chaff 37« 6d per ton bag given in, Avery machine £1 7s, portable forge £1 15s, vice £1 ss, set 4-leaf harrows £1 103, single furrow plough £1 ss, double furrow plough £5 ss, hay rake £6 10*, grass eeed sower end harrows £6 10a.

Gfain* Sai.e.—May 16 waa an eye-opener to the farmers of the Ashburton district, the occasion being a grain sale by auction which I held at Bu lock's Arcade in the estate of Messrs F iedlandar Bros. Buyers were present from all parts of the South Island md the competition was keen for every lot offered. Ido not quote becauss I supplied your reporter with a full priced catalogue, and doubtless he will have an extensive re port in another column. I also have to re port that 1 sold »U of my own wheat, con sisting of 12,963 bags of Tuscan, Hunter and PearCin store at 2s 9id. The sale was a surprise to those present, as the values ob tained were to myselt, but I am afraid that . many of the farmors who withdrew their wheat missed an opportunity which pro bably may not occur again this season.
