ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Friedlander Bros report upon the live »tock market for the week ending Fri day, February 22, as foliows :—The usual weekly tale took piece at Ashburton yards on Tuesday last, at which there was an entry of 8196 sheep, 133 pigs, 52 head of cattle. The attendance was good, but busi ness was from the commencement of the sale | very depressed. No one seemed at all in clined to. operate, and it was a great struggle to clear some of the sheep in the fat pens at much reduced rates. The store sheep fared much the same, and it was most trying for the auctioneers to conduct the sale. A general reduction in prices had to be ac cepted to enab'e any business to be done. The following witt show prices realised :— In fat sheep, merinos sold at from 2a 2d to 4s 4d, the latter figure for some very prime heavy weight ewes; crossbred ewes, from 3s to 6s; four-tooth wethers 9*. In store sheep, a line of Anama merino wethers. »ix and eight-tooth sold for Is 6d #ach; six and eight-tooth crossbred ewes, 6i; four and six-tooth crossbred ewes, 8s 2d; two-tooth sheep and lambs were very hard to quit, the former from 6s to 7s 6d according to quality, the latter from any price np to 6a 9d. In store pigs, some really good sorts were penned, and these sold well at improving figures. Fat and store cattle sold at rite* as previously quoted.

Mr D. Thomas reports upon the live stock market for the week ending Februay 22, as follows:—On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards there was again a large entry of sheep, *nd the sale was very dragging throughout. The attendance was good but very few of the public meant business, principally on account of the scarcity of feed. The yards were made up chiefly of lambs and crossbred ewes with a few two-tooths, which sold equal to late sales. In the pig market, there Wai a demand for all classes. The total entry submitted by the various auctioneers comprised 8196 sheep, 52 head of cattle, 133 pigs, of which my entry eon ■isted of 3228 sheep, 31 head of cattle and 87 pipts, which I sold at the following prices: —37 fat merino ewes 2a lid, 30 fat merino ewes 2s 6d, 17 fat two-tooth 7s 6d, 30 fat merino ewes 2s 9d, 59 crossbred ewes 4s 10d, 20 crossbred lambs 2s 3d, 118 fat merino ewes 4s 4d, 82 two-tooth orossbreds 7a 4d, 70 crossbred lambs ss, 76 merino ewes Is sd, 199 crossbred lambs 6s 2d, 212 four and six-tooth crossbred ewes 8s 2d, 60 two-tooth crossbreds 7s 9d, 164 lambs first cross 5s 24, 179 crossbred ewes 3a 4d, 271 crossbred lambs 6s 9d, 307 four, six and eight-tooth crossbred ewes 4s 7d, 74 merino ewes 3s 2d.
