ASHBURTON MARKETS

Messrs Friedlander Bros, report upon the live stock market for the week ending February B:—An en fry of 5450 sheep, 19 cattle and 12 pigs was yarded. The attend ance was an average one, but thonfl presen' did not con-pete very keen'y for the slock offered, antl a rather dragging sale resulted. The entries in,the fat pelis were all disposed of by auction, and revised fair values', m«rinr» pwes selling from 3* 91 to 6* 6fl for pome, very pnnd h^avy wights. Crossbred ewes sold at from 6s to 7s 3d, a small pen of very heavy weights realising ]0? 4d, in ferior aorta 4s 6d to 5s 6d. Store sheep were mostly made up of lambs and two-tooths, amoDgst which was a line of two-tooths in, forward condition, buc competition in this class w«s not brisk, and prices all through did not corns up to those ruling at last week's tale, but we hope to see a change as noon as farmers have finished their harvest operations. Our entry for the day was 1855 sheep, 6 cattle and 12 pigs, and the following sales resulted, eithf r by auction or privately aobn afterwards:—42 fat merino ewes 4a Bd, 19 orossbredß 7s 6d, 25 oroisbred two-tooths 8s Sd, 50 merinos 2a Id, 36 mixed merino and crossbred ewes 6s 2d, 2at 7s, 106 small two tooths 6s, 161 lambs 7s 9d, 187 two-tooths fat 103 6d, 4? two-tootha 8a Bd, 286 merino cnll ewes 6d, 250 lambs 4s 2d. In beef there was only a small entry, prices were a shade better than previous sale. We sold 2 fat steers £7 2s 6d, fat heifers £6 ss, £5 17s 6d, £5 7s 6d. There was no store cattle penned. 3store pigs at 17s 6d. Privately during the week we placed several lines of freezing ambs at 10s 66*. Rakaia Sale—A small entry of sheep was yarded, and several pens of small pigs. The Attendance was small, but in nearly all lots sales were effected.
