COMMERCIAL.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in ihe Aahburton county for the week ending Jur.e 1. On laeedav, at the Tinwald yarda the usual weekly sale was held. There was a good attendance of farmers, dealers, and others, but amongst them only a small majority of buyers Owing to the continued dry weather and the heavy frost a we are having, farmers are of opinion that price of Stock will still fall, therefore maov are hanging back. Several good lines SKp sheep June forward for this fixture and realised fair values, one line£f four-too--h wethers the property of Mr X Horsey, were disposed of by me for XSs 2.; also the cuU at Us 3d ; which were considered the best sales of the day. Other small lines sold rom 9i2d,93 6d,10-, Ua, Us 3d. Ihe bulk of the entry wore of inferior quality, and if a Bale had to be made low prices had to be accepted. Seve.allotsof amba were passed f D , therefore, takiog the sale th.oughou the tone of the market was barely as brisk as the week previbm. rhe total yarding of the day consisted of 6346 sheep, 43 catt-f. and 43 p.ga. My entry comprised 2734 Seep! 13 ittK and 43 pigs,, which I dis j>o.ed of atthe following «°;~^ep 48 fat merino wethers 6s, 53 fa L cl08«br?(' ewes 5s 21 f*t erosstred ewes 7a lid, 16 .

ADDINGTON MARKET.

There were medium entries and a good attendance at the Addington market to-day. Fat CAiTLK.~Of 179 head of cattle which formed the week's supply of beef, 52 head were in dealers' hand.. Beat beef averaged from 153 to 17s 6d, and secondary and cow sorts from 10a to 14s per 1001b per head. Steers brought £b 17s 6d to £8 2, 6d, heifers £4 to £5 ss, and cows £3 12s 6d to £5 173 6d. Stokb Cattle.—The entry was very small and made up of a few aged cows. Fat Sheep.—Fat sheep, of which there was a large yardiug, consisted mostly of crossbred ewe mutton, and a sprinkling ofmerinoes, with a few pens of freezers. Only one factory was bidding for freezing sheep, and although beveral good sales were made through the competition oi nnafcer butchers, the claBS showed a declme ot Is per head on rates ruling last week. But chers' sheep were also easier, and as feed is scarce and speculators have no convenience for holding, the salesmen who same late in the day had hard work to quit consignments, even at a reduction. Besi heavy weight wethers brought 153 to 16a, ewes lls to 12s 6d, freezers I2ato 14s 6d. Butchers good ewe, 8a 6d to 103 3d, medium 6s to 7s, unfinished halfbreds (mixed sexes) 8s 6d to 10a 6 \ merino wethers 6s to 9i, and merino ewes 4s to 7a. . , . Fat Lambs.—This class came forward in much smaller number than of late. As the Belfast works are shut down competition tor freezers waa limited, and a slight drop re sulted in this class, bringing from Kb to 11* 3d, whilst butchers' sorts which were not well represented brought from 8< to 9a 6d, and those which should have been in the store pens from 7s to 83. Stjiie Sheep.—The yarding of store sheep was under 4000, and was mostly itijalo up of small lota of turnipers and ewes m lamb. There was & slightly improved de mand owing to the late rains, and where owners' reserves were not exorbitant, fair business was done and a good clearance made. . . , Pigs.—A medium entry of pigs contained a few more fats than usual, and a rather (better sale resulted in ths buik of the fcaconera and porkers being quitted at equal to Ski per ib.
