ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mean's Friedlander and Co. report upon the live stock market for the week ending August; 23: —There was a rather heavy yarding of she^p at the Ashburton yards on Tuesday last. There was an average attend ance, and a good deal of business resulted, although bid'liug was not very spirited. The majority of store sheep yarded were lambs, among which were several lines of very small and poor conditioned ones, but, the general entry was fair to good, and all were sold at rates equal to last week's. Several lines of merino ewsa in lamb were yarde 1, but did not meet with very keen competi tion. Crossbred ewe? in lamb sold up to late quotations. The butchers' pens were not over filled, but competition was good and full market rates were obtained. The total entry for the day was—722s sheep, 43 cattle, 3 pigs, and 5 rams, We disposed of in fat pens, 26 merino ewes 5s 6d, 42 two tooths light weights lla Id, 33 fat crossbred ewes lls iOd, 60 two-tooths lls 6d, 19 lambs 10a 6d. In stores, 4 merino ewes and lambs 5a 3d, 9 crossbred ewes and lambs 9s 9d, 152 crossbred ewes in lamb 8a 9d, 132 small lambs 4s Id, 96 full mouth crossbred ewes in lamb 10a, 144 small two-tooths 7s sd, 87 aged crossbred ewes 10s 2d, 166 crossbred lamb 3 103 3d, 500 crossbred lambs 9s, 100 merino ewes in lamb 4s? Id, 201 two-tooth halfbred $wes 10s 63, 124 two-tooth half breds 8 s 9d. The beef market was only poorly represented by a few steers and cows in forward condition. A fair entry of good beef would find a ready market, as butchers have to gel; their supply from outside other wise. Privately during the week we have disposed of 200 fat sheep at 14s fid, 792 crossbred lambs at 9s, and 245 crossbred lambs at 8a 4d.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in the Aahburtoa county for the week' ending August 22, as follows : — On Tuesday at the Ashburton yards the attendance of farmers and others interested w&s large—amongst them a few buyers ; but the large quantity of stock on offer evidently frightened them, causing the sale to drag throughout. A fall of about 6d per head in hoggets must be quoted, but in fat sheep a sharp rise took place. Crossbred and meriuo ewes in lamb were not in request, but with the advent of warm weather, all descriptions of sheep must increase in value. The totals yarded for the day were— 7225 sheep, 43 head of cattle, and 3_ pigs, of which my entry comprised 5657 sheep, 32 head of cattle, and 3 pigs at the following prices:—Fat Sheep—3 wethers 9s 9J, 12 two-tooth crossbreds 12-), 41 crossbred ewes 83 lid, 20 crossbred ewes 12s 10(1, 21 croas bred ewes 14s 93, 25 ewes 12i 6il, 3 crossbred ewes 16a, 30 crossbred ewes 14s 6d.

Horse Fair. —On August 23, at the Arcade, I held one of the most successful horse sales held in Ashburton for many years. The entry was good, consisting of 67 head of all descriptions. Of thesa I disposed of 52 head, at values very much in advance of my usual Saturday Bales. All good young draught stock were readily disposed of at—for 2-year-olds, £7 10s to £14 ; three-year-old?, £10 10s to £19 ; four, five, and six-year-olds, broken, £12, £.16, £18, to £23 ; igad draughts, good workers, £7 to £16 ; screws, 10j to £.">. Light harness horses wee t:ot greatly in demand, but I cleared most of them at from £10 to £14 ; hacks £4, £6, £7 10=, £0 to £10 10i ; weeds, 20* to ."Kh. Taken all lound it was the lar«<?s*, e'eanuscc at the be3t- va'ues I ever had in the Aro-ulu.

Skin Wale.—My usual sale of skins took placj at TattersaU's last Friday- one of our best sales this season. AH lots wore cleared. The entry, winch was large, consisted of some very good quality.

NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA. "Rmd the following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above: "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, UcU\g so badly affected that I feared even to go from one room to another, on" account of the strange objects that appeared to Hit before me. Aly doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took liis advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system,'my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives jiave used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe, it to be the l)est lienltii - restorer that lias ever been offered to the suffering masses," AVER'S Sarsaparilla p With Highest Awards at the World's Great Expositions.
