. ♦ —— ■ i Messrs Friedlander Bros, report npm the Jive stock market for the week ending January 18. At the Tinvvalrl yards there was an entry of 4141 sheep, 36 cattle and 14 piga. There was a fair attendance of buyers and others interested, and the sale passed eff with a little more life than the previous one, but there was hardly any improvement in prices. Our entry for the day consisted of 1198 sheep, 18 cattle, out of which we sold the following lines :—33 crossbred ewes at 6s 53, 39 merino ewes at 4^ 4d, 288 small store hoggets at 7s 41, 151 two-tooths at 93 51, 150 old crossbred ewes, 150 lambs at 4s each, 480 store lambi at 7s Bd. In fab cattle the market was well supplied, and a good clt-ar ance was effected at late rates'. Springers did not meet with any demand, and most of them were turned out unsold. We sod 3 fat cows ftf £5 5s oac'i, 1 at £5 10*. 2 at, £6 10» each, 1 at £6 163, 2 at, £5 12-* 61 each, 1 at £5 11?. 1 fat steer at £5 15s. During the week we have sf«ld privately several lines of It/tibs f'»r fre< z:n% a'so snmo lines cf ewes and iambs. Freezing lam'is are not meeting with strong enquiry, and farmers will have to accept a lower price than what his been paid to enable buyers to operate. The special clearing sale of Mr M. Fried lander's horses held on Thursday at the Aahburton yards did not prove a success. A fair attendance of those interested and other wise assembled, but the bidding was very slow, with the result that we only succeeded in placing 26 out of the 74 lots catalogued.. We, however, were not disappointed, as in the present state of things, we could hardly have expected otherwise. The young Black woods, ranging from one to five year-olds, were a very nice lot, and were generally admired, and it is a great pity that horses of this class are not in request. We started the sale with the draughts, all of which we sold, but prices were very disappointing, and they did not pay the breeder for the trouble and expense of getting them ready for the market. Blackwood Abdallah did not elicit a bid, and the young trotting stallions were also turned bub unsold. The thoroughbred stock, with the exception of Speculator were not wanted, 130 guineas being offered for him, but this figure did not please the owner so he was passed in with the re9t, but from enquiries we think busi ness will result. We have enquiries for some of the Blackwood stock, and we have no doubt we will be able to place several privately; in fa.ct,|we placed two unbroken ones directly after the sale. The following prices were realised for the draught stock :— 2 yearling colts at £4 each, 1 at 20s, 2 yearling fillies at £5 103 each, 3 two-year-old "fillies at £8 5s each, 1 colt at £6 103, 1 three year-old colt at 60s, 1 filly at £8 ss, 1 four year-old filly at £14 10s, 1 four-year-old colt £15, bay mare Ruby, aged at £5 03, chest nut mare by Goldfinder at £8 ss, aged brown mare at £2, black mare at £3 153, five-year old gelding at £10 10s, brown mare, Miss Clare at £18 103, bay'j.oay, four-years at £5 10s, bay filly, four years at £14 103, bay filly, three years at £16. fc Land Sale—Last week privately dis posed of Mr Maistin Gritfin's fa' m at New lands, to a casl Ipurchaser from the North Island at a satisfactory figure, and who will shortly take possession. It is gratifying to be able to report a sale of land on these

terms. Mr David Thomas reports upon the live atock market for the week ending January 15, as follows :—On Tuesday at the Tinwald yards the entry was not large. Only 4141 sheep, 36 h*ad of natUe, and 14 pigs came forward, and the attendance was only fair, bnt competition was fairly brisk and a good clearance was made, with prices slightly in advance of late sale rates. The butchers' pens were trade up of inferior quality, old merino and crossbred ewes, which were readily picked up, and fetched very fair value, caused no doubt by the small entry in the fa.t c'ass, rl he store sheep were not l plentiful, therefore a brighter tone was given to the market than has been the case for some weeks. Several good lines of lambs came forward and were fo!d at auction at very fair value. Two-tooth * cross brods were the principal class of sheep yarded, aud some very po id sales were made. One very goid line of 242 full-mouthed cross bred ewes atvl 301 lambs, iho property of Mr ¥. Corbitt, I sold (ill counted) at 7s Id; also on account of Mr I). Oliver one nice even line of 131 merino ems and 120 iambs tussock fed at 4*61 all conired. Of the total entry I sold 221(3 sheep, 19 he^d of cattle, 14 pig-", at the following prices, viz —76 fafc crossbred eves, 7* ;35 crossbred lismbs Si 41; 159 vwo-tooth croasbseds, 9s 9d ; 165 two-tooth crossbreds, 9* 7d ; 160 first-cross larnba, 7s 41 ; £51 crossbred ewes and lamb' 1, 7s Id ; 251 merino ewes and Jambs, 4s GJ ; 34 lambs, 9i PA ; 446 cross bred two-tooths, 10-s 4<l.
