Now good steers are worth £lO to £l2, lighter sorts £7 to £9. Good heifers are selling at £8 10s, lighter £6 to £7 10s. Only a limited number come into the local saleyards, a large number being purchased privately. From present signs it looks as though the local butchers will have to go to Burnside for their supplies before very long. Dairy cows are creating more interest, but farmers were in a quandary as to what they should do pending the announcement of guaranteed prices by the Government. Good young cows are worth £6 to £B. It will be interesting to watch developments during the next few weeks. The cows that are now selling at £6 to £8 were worth £2 to £4 a year ago. There is still a solid inquiry for store cattle, and any well-coloured stock in good condition make as much as fats did a month ago. A line of Red Polled steers in good condition, but on the small side, realised a little over £6, and another lot, bigger and rougher Shorthorns and Friesians, £5 10s. • CORRIEDALES FOR JAPAN A very choice consignment of 100 stud Corriedale ewe hoggets and four stud rams on the Brisbane Maru are being forwarded to Kobe, Japan. These sheep, selected and shipped through the stud stock department of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Ltd, were all taken from leading Corriedale studs. The ewe hoggets were bred by the following well-known Canterbury flock masters:—Mr James Reid, "Riverslea"; Mr C. A. Campion, " Greenfields"; Messrs D. and M. Sidoy, " Glenovis"; Mr O. T. Evans, " Taruna "; Mr H. S. Ingram, " Lennamore," and Mr George Johns, " Culverden Downs." Of the four stud rams, two were bred by Mr James Reid. one by Mr G. A. Campion, and the fourth by Mr David Sidey. One of Mr Rcid's rams is a twin and his brother was sold for almost top price ;it the Christcluirch Ram Fair. The other throe rams are all prize-winners, having at some time taken prizes at the following Canterbury shows: Hawarden, Timaru, Ellcsmere, Ashburton, Malvern and Methvcn. This is the second shipment of New Zealand-bred sheep to Japan made by the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Ltd., in conjunction with their Sydney office, since the beginning of July. The first consignment of 224 ewes and 10 stud rams, comprising Southdown, Romney and Ryeland sheep, went forward by the Sydney Maru last month. Cabled advice has been received from Tokio that this shipment has arrived safely and that the sheep have been sent to a farm at Beppu Kyushu for breeding. They will be subsequently forwarded to farms in the north-eastern part of Japan.
