COMMERCIAL.

ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET. Mr Daivid Thomas reports as follows upon the live stock market m the Ashburton County for the week ending January 21 :— On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards, the usual weekly sale was held, 'the attendance wa3 average, but those preseut were not keen on business, and buyers were very shy to start, therefore the sale dragged, excepb when a good pen of forward lambs was put up* The entry was largely lea vened with inferior lambs, and there were several lots of boilers, the latter going to the pot at the usual boiling down prices. The rain of Monday helped the Bale m several pens, which otherwise wonld not have reached within 6d to 9d of owners' expectations. '1 he butchers' pens were very small, comprising six pens of crossbred ewe mutton for the trade's requirement e, ann one pen of crossbred wether*, which reached 10s 9d. The totals for the day consisted of 2546 sheep, 16 head of cattle, and 17 pigs, and my entry comprised 1902 sheep, 9 head of cattle, 17 pigs, which I disposed of at the following priens:— ls fat I&mb3 83 9;1, 67 null lambs Is 31, 219 crossbred lambs 2s 9i, 105 lambs 53 Id, 107 erosbbred ewes Is 2d, 271 lambs 3a 9d, 95 crossbred ewes Is 5.1, 38 lambs 5j 7.1, 36 crossbred ewes Is 4d, 520 crossbred 1 mbs 33 6d 210 lambs 6*, 150 lumbs 2*. 69 merino ewea 10a, 160 lambs 6s lOd. Catttle— l fat heifer £4. The bulk of the cattle was turned out unsold. Piga — 7 pigs I2d, 9 p'gs 9i 6d, 1 sow £1 ss. The Arcade horse fair took place on Thursday, January 20. when an entry of 68 head of all descriptions wa3 offered, and I succeeded m placing 41 at prices considered equal to those ruling at late sales. Ghe attendance was very poor, but as the sale went on an improvement was noticed, and bidding brjghfconed up Bomewhat. Good young draughts were m demand, but aged sorts buyers were* not mc iued to bid for unless at a reduction on owuers' ieserveß. I placed several after the sale. The follow ing are a few of the prices obtained — Unbroken colts, £13 ; fillies, £20 to £23 ; three yejrs to five years, broken to all chain work. £19 103, £20, £23, £25 lQi, £27 10s to £31: teven aud eifiht ya>B, £16, ±17 103, £19 10a, £22 10a, £25, £26 ; aged, £5, £7 10s, £9 10*, £12 10s, £15 10* ; hacks, £2 10s, £5, £5 10s, £7, £8 10s to £12 ; screws, 6s to £2 10s. :

A WELL-KNOWN CYCLIST Regains Health and Strength by the Use of the Great / Blood-Purifier and Tonic, Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He Sends his Portrait, and Writes as Follows: Gentlemen: Being a racing cyclist and consequently having to go through a severe bodily test m way of training I was, after a long term of constant practice, entirely run down, and had decided to abandon the track for awhile, but having heard a great deal as to the blood-purifying and strengthening qualities of Ayer's Sarsaparilla I determined to give it a trial. I am glad to say that I have been greatly benefited by the medicine, so much so that I am again able to go on the bicycle track, and can recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla to anyone suffering from loss of strength and weakness of the system. Yours respectfully, X Frank Watts, Sydney, New So. Wales, Dec. 29, 1896.
