ASHBURTON MARKETS,

Messrs Friedlnnder Bros , report upon the, live sock market for the week ending April 19 as follows . —lt was hardly to be exp3C*«d, after the weather which lit d pre- j vailed during the previous few daysj that a ' heavy yarding would be sent forward for the Ashbur! on yards on Tuesday last; and had it not been for a line of 1200 merino ewes, which cam 9 in fiom the Raineliff Estate, the entry would have been very small indeed. As it was, there were only 4246 sheep, 21 rams, 5 pigs, and 22 head of cattle presented for tlw day's operations. This entry proved enough for the day, and very little business resulted at auction. Moat of the stote lambs were withdrawn, bat some of these lines changed hands after the auction. The attendance was very small, and business anything but brisk. The fat pens coutaiued sotne giod merino ewes and some really prime ercssbreds, all of which changed hands at fair prices. The store sheep • were mostly made up with inferior lambs and merino ewes, with a line or two ol two-tooth sheep. The prices for the day were ;—Fat merino ewea 2a 8d to 3a 10J ; fat crossbred ewe? 3* 6d to 63, 7s 4d, and 7a 10d the latter two quotations for two lines of good heavy weights ; a small pen of two-tooths making 9b 9J. Store lambs 3a 3d to 4s lid, a pen of very nice lambs bringing 8s; aged crossbred ewes from 3s to 5i 3d; sound mouth merino ewes Is 9d to Is lid; two-tooth sheep, mixed sexes, 63 6d. In the cattle yards there was nothing of special mention, except two good steers which sold at £8 15s each. Baconer pigs, 35s each, and small porkers, 133. Clearing Sale—ln conjunction with Mr David Thomas and Mr Henry Zander, we held a very successful clearing sale at Tara, fqr Mr Daniel Brick, at which there was a very large attendance of buyers and others. The very substantial luncheon provided by Mr and Mrs Brick having full justice done to it by the large assemblage, the officiating salesmen, Mr David Thomas and, Mr B. Frie llander, started proceedings, beginning with the imp'ernents, and were kept going from one o'clock till close upon five. Every* thiag was in capital order, and was com petjd for with some spirit, more specially noticeable at the sale of the hones which, taken as a whole, were a "Very- good lot of useful sorts, and reaUshd full market values. Sheep, although not bo well competed for as we expected, made values fully equal to market rates, the following is a list of prices realized :—Sheep feeders. 1 at 22s 6d ; 3 at 35s j three-furrow ploughs i' 6 ss, £8, £13; old double furrow ploughs, £2 5s ; six-horse pear, £2 5», £ 2 15s, and £3 10s J harrowa, £4, and £4 7s 6d ; seed sower £17 ; Cam bridge roller, £12 15s; drays and frames, £11 103,.Jf13 103, £14, £14 10s; old Brant ford, reaper and birjders, £5, £6 10s ; McCor mick's, £5 10a ; and £20; light gig, £9 5s ; small daisy cart, £3 103; v, hares, £20 aud £12 10i; range, £3; oats, 4* to 4s 31 per sack.
