AS: 3 BURTON STOCK MARKET.

Mesgra Hanmer and Graves (per Mr John R. Bland) report on the Ashburton live stock market for the week ending March 15: — At the Ashburton Yards en Tuesday again a very large yarding came forward— some 13,003 to 14,000 sheep of all descriptions, 50 head cattle, and abonb 50 rams. The at tendance cf farmers and others was large, and considering the oontinued dry weather it is astonishing the number of sheep that changed hands at fair values. Sheep sold quite as well as at the list Tinwald sale. The fat pens were well filled, and sold at 3a lid to 6s 9d ; cmt^bred wethers, small 10s Id to 10s 4d and op to 12s 6d. Fat lambs from 10s 3d to 10- 51. In store sheep a large line from . lie S >uth were pMaed m at 7s 6d, but moat of the farm and station lines changed hands. Cattle and rams were almost unsaleable. We effeoted the follow* ing sales : — 3O fat wethers at 103 Id, 37 fat ewes at 6a Id, 13 at 4s sd, 75 cull ewes at Is 4d ; on account of Mr A. E. Peaohe, 144 qu^rterbiok wethers at 5s 3d ; 666 halfbred wethers at 9s 4d ; 786 balfbred ewes, sound mouth, at 6* 6d ; 209 quarterback ewes ao 4«. These aheap came forward m splendid store condition and sold freely. On account of other owner*, we sold 133 crossbred ewes at 33 ; 164 crossbred lambs at 5s Id ; 107 crossbred lambs at 7s 4d j 80 boilers at Is ; 227 tbreequarter bred wethers at 7s 7d. Cattle— l fat heifer at £4 10s, 1 springer at £5 12s 6d, cows m milk 255, 30s, 27s 6d, 40s. Skin Sale. —On Monday the 14th we held our first skin sale, which went off very satis* factorily indeed, skins realising much higher values than we had been getting privately for them. We topped the market with butchers' crossbred pelts at 2a 7d, and butchers' lambs at 2s 9d.

CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Hints*

There is but little change to record m the grain and produce markets during the past day or two. Millers still decline to raise their prices, and growers thow no inclination to come down to the values offered ; conse quentiy very little business has been done, 'lhe fact that a large North Island buyer is now m Canterbury may stimulate matters somewhat, and it is possible that more sales will have to be recorded during the next few days. Milling Canadian oats are very ecarce and much wanted. A few email lines of good feed duns have changed hands at 2s 5d ex store, and a few good samples of feed sorts have commanded 2a 4d, ex store, all the sales being for local consumption. There is no demand for malt ing barley here, and although, m response to inquiries a number of samples have been sent to Dunedin, so far no business is re ported aa having resulted. Prime oat sheaf chuff is now being taken for local consump tion at oss on trucks at near stations. Speculators are now 'ffering 423 6d to 45s for Derwent potatoes at country stations, but growers seem disinclined to do business at this price. £3 10s is being freely given for onions, and as much a9 £4 10a was paid for a picked lot for shipment. Latest quotations are : —

Wheat. —Old Pearl 4s 4d to 43 sd, Tuscan 4< 3 1 10 48 4d, Hunter's 4a Id to 4a 2d ; new Pearl, Tuscan ar.d Hunter s 3j 10d to 4s ab country stations.

Oats. — Milling Canadians 2b 4d, stout feed 2a 2d to 2i 3d, duns and Danish 2s 3d to 2s 4d.

Bablky.— New prime malting 43 to 4s 6d, good 48, feed 2$ 3d to 2s 6d, scarce.

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Christchuroh, March 16

There were large entries m all classes of stock at Addmgton market to-dt.y, and business throughout showed a healthy tone. The attendance was large and representative. The entries for the day comprised 19,868 «heep and lambs, 442 head of cattle, and 735 pigs. Fat Cattle. — Fat cattle were represented by 202 head, including some very nice lines of prime eteers. The presence of a couple of butchers from the other side of the Raogitata made matters pretty lively during the earlier part of the sale, and they secured nearly fifty head. When their wants were satisfied, however, prices dropped back to about last week's level. Prices realised were — Prime steerß, £7 to £8 108 ; secondary £4 10a to £6 10s ; good heifers, £5 to £6 10s; secondary, £3 103 to £4 15s; good cows, £4 10a to £6 ss ; secondary, £2 15s to £4. Prices per lOOiba were much about the same.

Stove Cattle. — The store pens were well filled, bub the bulk of the youngsters were of the weedießt description, and the only sales made were a few of this class for the Peninsula, at prices which could nob possibly pay the growers. Fat. Sheep. — There was a good entry of fat sheep, including some nice young ewes, bub there was too much inferior ewe mutton for requirements. The demand for freezers was very fair, and wethers of this class were readily taken at from 10i 6<l to 12a 7d, a line cf 630 from Highfield bringing 12s Id, and some heavy butchers' sortß sel ling ac up to 13s 6d ; maiden ewes and wethers, 10s 9d to 11s 6d ; and maiden ewes 83 ro 93 lOd. The demand for trade ewes was very fair at the opening, but as soon as requirements were satisfied there wa9 little or no bidding, and a good many lines were ■ urned out unsold, vendors declining to sell at the prices offered. Good young ewea hrnught from 8s to 10s 7d, medium ewes 6s to 7d 6d, aged sorts 3] 6d to ss ; merino wethers 4s 91, owes 2i Id to 3a lid.

Fat Lambs. — I'heee came forward m. ftilher smaller numbers, and the entry con tained very little chat was choice. Freezing buyers seemed to fix their limit at 10a 6d, and a considerable number, was taken at from that price down to 9s, butchers' sorts fetching 7s to 9i, and backward lines from 4? 6ri upwards Store {-keep.— The yarding of store aheep wan exceptionally large, including acme very large lines of station sheep, some from as far south as Oamaru, and others which bad been at country sales A fair demand was manifested for wethers for top ping off, but most were dispoEed of at a drop on the prices ruling a week or two ago ; and good young breeding ewea met a fair sale, bob tluee of uncertaiu ages and back ward lambs were hard to quit. Amongst the sales were 260 four- tooth wethers at 9a 6d ; 750 from Oimaru at 8s ; 640 two-tooths at 6s lid ; 1000 six and eight-tooth ewes at from 7s to 8a Id ; two-tooth y>ure Lincoln ewes at 11s 9d ; 550 three-quarter bred sound mouth ewes at 5a Id to 5j 3d ; mixed two tooths at from 6s to Hi : six and eight-tooth ewcß from 7s to 8a Id ; aged ewea from 2s 6d to 3s 9d ; boilers f-.om Is 5d to 2s 7d ; for ward lambs from 5s to 63 6d and backwa'd weedy sorts from 3s to 4s 6d. All good youug wethers and ewea met n fair demand, but aged sorts and weedy lambs were not m request. Pigs. — Pigs came forward m strong force, the bulk of the yarding being fat sorts. The sale for these dragged a little at first-, but soon recovered, and before the close last weeks prices were fully maintained. Baconers brought from 383 to 625, a line of twenty from Rarjginr* fetching 565, and forty-tight from Barry's Bay 53a. Porkers 25s to 37 3 6d, stores 14s 6d to 283.
