ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Friedlander Bra.., Limited, report upon the live stock market for the week ending August 30 :—There was a very heavy yarding of sheep at the Tinwald yards on Tuesday last, a large portion of the entry coming from the south. In store sheep the sale throughout was lifeless, and a large i number were passed in at auction, bub were ! nearly all sold privately afterwards. It is ! evident that a good many people requiring aheep are holding back for a while, until the ipring has fairly set in. .All classes of sheep will then be in strong demand. In the fat pens the entry was nor heavy, several pens of good merino wethers being yarded which met with good competition from the trade. The total entry for ihe day waa 8264 sheep, 46 cattle, and 31 pigs, out of which we offered 3558 sheep and 26 cattle. We dis posed of the following lines _—40 fat merino wethers 9s 6d, 24 merino wethers B*, 24 erossbreds, mixed sexes, 12a, 4 erossbreds, mixed sexes, 13s sd, 12 crossbred ewes 9s, 9 crossbred ewes 9s 9d.

In oatfcle we sold 8 steers from £5 7s 6d to £6 17* 6d, 6 cows from £5 to £5155. Skin Sale—We held our usual bi-weekly Bale, at which the attendance was good, but prices were rather irregular, good skins selling at full values, but inferior sorts were not quite up to late sales.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live Btook market in the Ashburton county for the week ending August 30 :—On Tuesday tho usual weekly sale of stock was held ab tTinwald, The attendance of farmers and Others interested waa good, and among them a large number of buyers, but their biddings were generally slack, causing the sale to drag throughout. Prices were about equal to last sale'd quotations. The market was overstocked with hoggets, so that a few lota were turned out unsold. For crossbred ewes in lamb the demand waa not strong, so that to make a sale low values had to be accepted. The totals yarded for the day were 8264 sheep, 46 head of cattle, and 31 pigs, of which my entry comprised 5055 sheep, 8 head of cattle, and 31 pigs, which J sold at the following prices :—Pat Sheep — 31 fat two-tooth 12a 3d, 31 at 10a 6d, 17 crossbred ewes ds lid, 21 two-tooth lis, 22 at 10s Ud, 34 fat merino wethers 9s Id, 60 merino wethers 7s lOd, 33 hoggets 5s 1(M.
