SOUTHLAND MARKETS.

(SPECIAL TO "THE TRESS.") INVEUCARGILL, October 30. Shcop—Only a small amount or business has been passing, and this has principally bco:i <lono by private treaty. .Small entries of store sheep luiye been j lonvard at the various saleyards. and I competition h-a.s bet-n very strong for I any lots submitted to miction, as in a very lary;» number of oases txrnziers mo understocked. .Sales elFccted have been j on the followiiii; ba?is-:—Two, four and i six-tooth ch'Os, with iH) to 100 per cent. | of iambs, 11k 3;1 to 12s (>:1 (all counted); ( lull and failing-mouthed ewes, with 90 to 100 per cent. <,f lambs. 9s 9d to 10s 'xl; ew;> hogcets, ltis to 17s (the latter price for "specially iio<x.l) : mixed sex ho;4s;ets, 13s lid to los wether hoggets, 13s (5d to lis Ikl. Fat wethers, for i butchers, have not been offering very Ireely, und the current quotations run isoin 19s (id to 235. Good store wethers ;>re valued at from llw'to IS-, and fat ::nd forward wethers m to 20s. Cnttle—B?ei' is quoted at from 32s to 35s per 1001b. Fat cattle are held ii , very strong hands, and several holders anticipate that 40s per 1001b | v ill bo the ruling price in the near | future. Good forward bullocks aro j keenly sought after, and prices rule ; from *£'G to £7 10.s. All classes of younis \ cattio are in demand, and are iellaig at | fully in to Inst week's quotations. ; Oats—The oats market remains firm at Is BVd v-er bushel for A grade Gar- , tons. and Is 8d for A Sparrowbills, > with Id less in e-ach ense for B grade. ; Had merchants iuller .supplies, business i with the North would be lareer, but j farmers are not inclined to sail except ' wit prices Sd in advance of the rates | as stated. The question, apparently, | is v.liether tiie formers can hold out siifacieritly lonj to compel the higher \ prire to l>e paid. As things stand at '■ present, merchants have some forward j contracts to execute, and the stocks at ; their command r.re very limited. j Chaff—kittle chuff is offering, hut j £3 os por ton is always obtainable. j Ryegrass— This seed is steady, and a. ! fair amount of business is passing at j from 2s 5d to 2s (id por bushel. Mcr- | chanto, luMvever, already hold the bulk j of the reed. j Potatoes —Growers have very few j tubers left on hand, and consequently \ very little shipping is taking place. ■ Un" to .Ci/ •Cβ per ton, on trucks r>(ti j country stations, hr.s been paid during j the week, but the Dunedin market lias | eased, and from £8 10s to £9 is now< j fair value. i
