ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs J. T. Ford and Co., in conjunction with Mr Henry Zander, report on the live stock market for the week ending January 29, as follows:—On Tuesday last at the 'J inwald yards entries came forward far in excess of the demand in nearly all classes of sheep. Tho attendance of buyers was small, no doubt the cause of tins being that farmers were otherwise engaged in the harvest field, The sale dragged throughout yey considerably. The total of the day's yarding comprised 12,335 sheep, 13 cattle, and 85 pigs, The yards were made up chiefly of store lambs and twn-tooth cross breds, and several lines of freezing sheep Of the latter tha Lagmhor estate sent forward a line of 1203 heavy weight?, which were the attraction of the day, and rod at 1%-s. Store lambs and hoggets suffered a eonsider ab c fall off last week's sale, in the former there was iul'y a decline of 2< per head, and the latter Is. We yarded for the day 2038 sheep and 17 pips, of which we sold the following lines —571 ciossbred lambs at 7a, 272 half bred crossbi ed two-tooths at 8j 3d, 221 two-tooth wethers at 8s 6d, 303 two tooth hoggets at 83 6d, 365 crossbred lambs at 6s 9d, 1211 four, six, and eight-tooth crossbred freezers at 13s, 9 pigs at 355, and 8 piga at 255. During the week we placed a line of 824 crossbred lambs privately at Bs, and 1050 crossbred two-tooth hoggets very forward condition at 103.
