1 ASEBURTON STOCK MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reportß upon the live stock market in the Ashburton County for the week ending March 2, as follows :—On Tuesday, at the Tinwatd yards, the usual weekly sale was held. There was again a fjood entry of sheep, principally crossbred ewes and store lambs, mostly of inferior quality. A good line of Mr E. G. Wtigh'-'s merino ewes sold well at 10* B\, which were all sound ; other sorts at 9j lOd. Lambs, in \ backward condition, were disposed of from j 6a lOd, 9a lOd, to lls Id. Crossbred ewes, | chiefly aged sorts, met with a dull sale, buyers preferring ewes with sound mouths. In the butchers' pens, which were fully supplied, prices held their own, and a clet ance was made at prices on a par with lato rates. The total for the day was made up of 13,467 sheep, 35 pigs, 18 head of oattle, my entry comprising 7378 sheep, 3 pigs, 9 head of oattle, which I cleared at the fol lowing prioee:—2 fat lamhs 12s 6d, 40 merino wethers lls 3*, 1 crossbred wether 12a, 20 meriuo ewes Bs, 34 crossbred ewca 12a 7i, 10 merino wethers lla, 6 crossbred ewes lla 7d, 16 at 12s, 5 wethers 13a 4d, 1 lamb 10s 6*3, 101 at 12a 3d, 3 wethers lls 41, 17 crossbred ewes Bs, 14 merino ewes 6a §3, 119 at 9s 7d, 358 at 10s Bd, 382 halfbred ewes 13s 4', 159 two and four-tooth ewe 3 14* 3d, 279 croßsbted ewea 9a 9i, 158 ewes 8* 3 \ 268 crossbred ewes 6s 10d, 94 at 12a 9d, 44 cro tbred wethers lie, 57 merino ewes 7a lOd, 37 wethers 13s, 1082 lambs 9a 9d to 9< lOd, 331 halfbred ewes lls Id, 72 crossbied ewes 8i 4 1, 338 lambs 6a lid (md in con junction with Messrs Friedlander Bros, Ltd, 455 lambs 9s 9d, 501 at lls Id) ; 3 sows 32i 6d ; 1 cow £5 10j, 1 at £4 9a, 2 heifera £4 17j 6d, 1 springer £3 10a Messrs Friedlander Bros., Limited, report upoa the live stock markeb for the week ending March 2, 1900, aa follows: —At the linwald yards on Tuesday last the entry was a fairly large one, comprising 13,467 sheep, 18 cattle, and 35 pigs. The atten dance was good, and for young sheep the competition was fairly brisk, a good deal of business being transacted either by auction or privately afterwards. The bidding for aged ewes was anything bub brisk, and thia class of stock was hard to quit even at a re duced price, and consequently a good many I nes of this class did not change owners, and this was the cause of a long dreary sale. The inquiries were mainly for young breeding ewes, forward conditioned lambs, and good sorts of twe-tooths for finishing eff, which found a ready sale at full market rates. Our eutry for the day consisted oi 5804 sheep, 6 cattle, and 32 pigs, and the following sales were effected :-—23 fat ewes lla sd, 12 at ils sd, 42 fat halfbied ewes 9* IA, 42 at 9a 7<l, 50 fab wethers 153, 20 fat wethers 12 7d, 168 fat lamba lls lOd, 119 crossbred ewes 12 s 6(5, 71 at 9a, 106 crossbred lambs 7* 6d, 168 crossbred wethers 12s 3.i, 200 hall bred ewes 10s 9J, 200 half bred ewea 9-, 91 halfbred ewes 12a 4J, 243 merino ewes 9* 6d, 283 halfbred lambe lls 7d, 168 ewes and wethers 13s, 127 halfbred ewes 12s 6d, 455 crossbred Jamba 9j 93, 501 haltbred lambs lls Id, 33 fab crossbred ewes 11< 2d, 38 fat lambs lls 6d, 38 fat lambs 10a lid, 51 fab crossbred ewes 10a lOd.
