ASH BURTON MARKETS,

Messrs Friedlander Bros., Limited, report oa the live stock market for the week ending September 6. The entries of sheep at the iksnburtou yards on Tuesday last were very small. Only 3882 sheep were penned up, besides 10 head of cattle, 31 pigs, and 10 rams. There were several buyers of good utoie sheep present, more especially for good hogj?e'B, which sold at an advance on last week's rates. Some of the buyers could not get their wants supplied. Thero weie very few crossbred ewes in lamb on offer, no doubt on account of these being just on the point of lambing down. Several good pens of crossbred sheep in forward coadition were yarded, and sold readily. There was also a fins line of six-tooth merino ewes, well in lamb, which were disposed of at 7s sd, la fat sheep, there were only & limited number penned, all of which were rMsposed of, two and four-tooth mixed sexes crosshreds selling from lla 6ct to 14a 6d, and a line of freezers at 15a 4d, crossbred ewes 10s Cd. Two pens of merino wethers sold ab Ba. In store sheep, hoggets sold at from 5a Id to 7s 3d for Inferior sorts, and from 7s 9d to 10s for well grown—the latter being in very forward condition. A small pen of really very good sorts made 12s Id, crossbred tvo-toot^s sold at from 103 to 12s 3d, and np to 13s 9d for a pen of forward sheep for finishing cff. Our entry for the day consisted of 1626 sheep, 10 xams, 6 cattle and 15 pigs, which we dis posed of. In the fat pen?, 24 two-tooths, Mixed sexes, 11s 9d, 11 crossbred ewes 10s 3d, 31 two-tooth wethers 14s 6d. Stores— 140 aged merino ewes in lamb 3s 3d, 11 cull lambs 4s 7d, 240 hoggets 5a 3d, 120 halfbred hoggets 7a 3d, 980 three-quarterbred Border Leicester hoggets 8s 9d, 67 two-tooth mixed sexes crossbreds 10s 3d, 10 rams 5a 7d. Cattle—There was virtually no beef on offer, those penned in the fat pens) could have done with another month or two of good feed. In store cattle, nothing notable was yarded. A few springers for which there was no demand were penned out, and pigs were not wanted at any price. During the week we secured a large order for crossbred ewes in lamb for a northern client, and on Thursday last we despatched a special train ©f double-deckers, containing 2200 sheep from Hinds and Tinwald for their destination at Waikari. This no doubb will help to make this class of sheep a little scarce in this county. We could have placed another 1000 of this class of sheep, if we could have obtained them. We have also enquiries for food lines of well grown hoggsts, which are ard to get hold of.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in the Ashburton county for the week ending September 6, as follows :— On Tuesday at the Ashburton yards the usual weekly sale was held. The attendance of fanners, dealers, and attars interested was good, amongst them a larger cumber of buyers than usual, eager to purchase, result jag in a total clearance a« prices fully equal to or better than any obtained at previous Bales this season. Hoggets were in good demand, and after exhausting the entry for the day a large number of private sales were made outside immediately afterwards. Crossbred ewes were scarce, but what were entered sold well, values being in advance of late quotations. The totals yarded for the day comprised 3882 sheep, 8 head of cattle, anJ 16 pigs, which I succeeded in placing at the follov. ing prices :— Fat Sheep —46 fafc merinos 3s, 30 fat two-tooth cross bred ewes lla lie-, 28 fat two-tooth eross breds 10s sd, 19 tat two-tooths 103 Sd, 62 fat two-tooth cro3abreds 12?, 62 fat two tooth oiOßßbreds 12s, 58 two-tooth croasbreds 13s 9d, 55 .wo-tooth crossbred wethers 15s 4d, Stores—ll2 two-tooth crossbred ews3 and wethers 12s id, 64 crossbred ewes in lamb, culls 3a sd, 349 six-tooth merino ewes in lamb 7s 6d, 4*38 halfbred hoggets 9s 2d, 63halfbred hoggets 5s 2d, 36 merino ewes 6a 7d, 100 two, four and full mouth crossbred ewes in lamb 11s 9i, 34 crossbred hoggets 12s Id, 13 hogget? 63 lid, 31 two-tooth erossbreds Ss 2d, 300 sound mouth merino ewe? 3s 10rf, 233 crossbred hoggets lOj, 2 fat sheep 13s 3d.

— CORES Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Loss of Strength and Appetite, and Nervous Disorders. Ths following: letter from Mrs. S. Gash, of Kent Town, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above, is additional testimony to the remarkable health-giving- power of Ayer's Sarsaparilla; "For two years or more I suffered considerably from indigestion, sleeplessness, and loss of strength and appetite. When * did sleep I was not refreshed, and I always had a severe headache in the morning. I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla and was more than pleased at the result, for after taking three bottles my complaints disappeared, and I have been in the best of health ever since. I can strongly recommend Ayer's Sareaparilla to any one afflicted as I was." The -wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of other preparations called Sarsaparilla. Remember that imitation is the slncer est form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA ivhieh has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's great expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and all civilized countries, for more than a generation, No other medicine operates bo effectually in removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp toms of til© grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.

Ghertsey, Jaouary 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, Ashburton Sib,—l consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse.

He was ailing for soma daya, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose Bed a very bad cough ; and was searoe!y able to walk about; we quite expected be would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly afer he get the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and can reoommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the beet Loree remedy in the market. Edwabd Cokbett Greenwood Farm, Southbridge f August 2, 1892 Mr Walker.

We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at his work, hea:ty and well I qaite believe, had I nor, given him yoar Remedies, ho would have died. You oan use this as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker, Dear Sir, —I have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Hsseltine, your agent, was ts wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture.
