The bulk, however, wera good young sheep* A scarcity of ; wethers for butchers' purposes caused very ; good competition for the better classes of ewes, and a good sale resulted.

CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

The Lytlelton Timea of the 15fch insfc re potta :— There was but little doing m the grain trade yetterday, farmers being disinclined to take ruling prices. A line of Hunter's wheat sold at 3s 2d, and two or three parcels of Taf can at 3s 2£d and 3s 31 at Christchurch, while good seconds brought 33 and inferior 2s 9d ar. the same place, all for local consump tion. Canadian oats were taken for local milling purposes at Is lOd at Christchurch, Kidney potatoes are now Belling at 35s at country stations, and the same price is being paid for Derwents, which are now going away steadily, but all lots which are not direct from tpe pit are subjected to close in-, •pectidny m consequence of the late wet weather having done considerable damage on low-lying lands. Onions have hardened an other 5s per ton, and are wanted for export. The high freights now ruling to the Sydney market are checking speculation m chaff; and Tasmania, which is able to land chaff m the New Sonth Wales port at 4s 6d per ton less than the New Zealand product can be put down there, is reaping the advantage. A Press Association message from Sydney yesterday, to the effect that the decline m the A merican markets has checked the export of Oalifornian wheat to Sydney, is obviously wrong, as there has been a rise m the Ame rican market during the past week* " The following are current prices :— Whsat.— -Pearl, 3s3dto3a4£d; millers mixed lines, 3s 2£d to 3 i 41d ; Tuscan, 3s 2d to 3s 3£d ; Hunter's, 3s 2d to 3s 3fd.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON-THURSDAY. (Before Mr 0. A. Wray, S.M.) Bo ad Oases. — J. Sturgest w»s fined 5a for leaving his horse and trap unattended. — Oonrad Primmer was charged with herding sheep for three days on the Back Track m the Rakaia road district. One witness said the mob of two or three thousand sheep took from four o'clock till eleven to travel 135 chains. Another witness said that from about two m the afternoon on March 24 until about the same time on March 26 the sheep had only been moved a mile. The road was fenced and there was fair feed on the road. The defence was that the sheep, which numbered 7000, started from Blen heim on February 11, to come to Canter bury* Ab Qreendale 3000 were draf fed, and 4000 were brought on to Rakaia. At Rakata on March 20 defendant received a note from Mr Browne, of Highbank, that an accommodation paddcck would be available for the mob after Maroh 26. No paddocks to accommodate so large a mob were available at Bakaia. Defen dant sent on his mate with the sheep to wsrta Blghbank.aad told hnfc'tb make that station by the 26bh. Defendant went to Ashburton, and thence to Oreendale where they had left the ewes, back again to the main flock. which he found on the Back Track on March 26, six or seven miles from the paddock they were going to. When he reached the mob it was raining henvily, had been so for some time, the road was ewarapy with the wet, and the driver* were wet through. Travelling was difficult and necessarily slow, bpoause of the state of the roads, and the long journey the sheep had al ready done. At BarrhiU tried to get a Eaddock for temporary accommodation, tr could Ret nothing that was suitable, and had to make use of the road till the Highbank paddock was ready, whioh was not till after the sale at Highbank on March 26. Hird, one of the drivers, said the mob was delayed on the 22nd la the riverbed by getting boxed with some body else's sheep. It rained heavily on the 23rd. and progress was slow. The sheep were kept moving on as fast as they could go m their tired state, and the muddy state of the roads . Lost the track once, and this also caused delay. Failed to get a paddock otherwise the sheep would have been anchored.— His Worship said it was evident the defendant had to make the best he could of the road m the absence of an accommodation paddock until the Highbank pasture wan ready, which was not until after the 26th, and the sheep had been six days doing 26 miles. Doubtless the roads had been made use of to feed the sheep, and as the police only wanted the case tried as a warning that this sort of loitering was not to be permitted, defendant would be fined 20a, with costs of court and two witnesses— in all, £2 19a 6d. Civil Cases —Good v. Soannell, £44 Bs. In this case, which wan heard at great length a fortnight ago, his Worship now gave judgment. After reviewing the whole case, he found the plaintiff entitled to £34 18 < sd, and costF. Ullyett v Middleton, £30. Judgment for plaintiff by default. Partridge v. Wilson. £16 15a, wages for cooking done at the 1 threshing oamp of defendant.
