OAMARU PRODUCE MARKET. (From Our Own Correspondents.) OAMARU, October 1.

The decline in values reported by cable from Axistralia has produced an easier feeling here. Though there is no quotable alteration in the value of wheat, buyers are not so keen as a week ago, and holders, jfchough offering a little more freely, are not disposed to accept a reduction iii late rates. Sales have been made during the week on the basis of 3s Id, less commission, a * sidings, for prime Tuscan and velvet, and 33 for primest red chaff. South Canterbury wheat is firmly held at up to 3s for Tuscan and velvet on the above terms.

Oats are very scarce, and the business doing is hardly sufficient to make a market, values are therefore somewhat nominal. Prime milling Gartons have been placed in small parcels at Is 9d to Is 91d, less commission, and heavy bright Danish, which is scarce, at Is 8d to Is Bkl, on the same terms.

Potatoes are now held in small parcels only, and the whole quantity in the district must be very small. During the week sales have been made at £9 at sidings, and in one case at least £8 was reported. Offers have been made during the week at £9 10s f.0.b., and this figure has been quoted for shipment by the Wanaka next week; but holders are still confident that the market will recover, and are not disposed to sell. A good deal of the cut seed sown a few weeks ago has suffered by the continuous wet weather, and will have to' be resown. GEAIN AND PEODUCE MAEKET. Messrs Dalgety and Co., Ltd., report as follows: — We held our weekly sale of grain, etc., at ovir stores on Monday. A small catalogue was submitted to the usual attendance of buyers. Competition was fairly good, and the bulk of lots offered were cleared at satisfactory prices either at auction or privately. Values ruling are as under: — Oats. — The market is firm, but the business passing is on a small scale. Stocks in store are very much .reduced, and the quantity coming forward fiorn the country is small. Own-ers of good lines in store are holding firm for higher values, but the advanced prices quoted by merchants fail to bring many shipping orders. Any feed lines up to A and B grade standard offered at quotations have been readily taken up. We quote: Prime milling, Is lid to Is lUd ; good to best feed, Is lOd to Is lid; inferior and medium, Is 8d to Is 9J.d per bushel; sacks extra.

Wheat. — There has been a good inquiry during the past week. Prime milling, Tuscan, and velvet are in good demand at quotations. Medium qiiality, however, is out of favour, and is difficult to quit, unless at fowl wheat rates. There is a good demand for fowl wheat for local consumption, but for shipment merchants are underquoted at northern ports. We quote : Piinie milling, 3s 2d io 3s 4d; medium (nominally), 3s to 3s Id; whole fowl wheat. 2s lid to 3s ; broken and damaged, 2s 7d to 2s lOd per bushel; sacks extra.

Potatoes. — This market is dull, and although not many consignments are coming forward stocks on hand are more than sufficient for the existing demand. We quote: Best Derwents, £9 Ms to £10; medium do, £9 to £d 7s 6d; white s"orts, £8 to £9 per ton (bags in).

Chaff. — The market is only moderately supplied. Prime oaten sheaf is scarce, and sold at auction to-day at a slight advance on late rates. Bright, heavy, well-cut chaff is inquired for, and is readily sold on arrival, ex truck. Medium quality does not meet with the same demand, and is slow of sale. We quote: Prime oaten sheaf, £3 7s 6d to £3 12s Gd; extra to £3 15s; medium do, £'2 17s 6d to £3 5s per ton (bags extra). Turnips.— Very few coming forward, and swedes suitable for table use now realise 20s per ton loose, ex truck. Straw. — We quote: Best wheaten 3-2s 6d to 355, and best oaten 37s Gd to 40s per ton pressed.

Donald Eeid and Co., Ltd.. report: — We held our weekly auction sale of grain and produce at out stores on Monday. We svh-

mitted a full catalogue, which met with a good reception from a, full attendance of buyers. Prices ruled as under: —

Oats. — Local stocks are not .heavy, and only small consignments are coming forward from the country. These are readily absorbed by the local trade at prices which" give shippeis little opportunity of securing stock. Milling oats are in fair demand, but not so keenly competed for as feed lines, all of which, from A grade to inferior, have strong inquiry. We quote: Prime milling. Is lid to Is lljd; good to best feed, Is lOd to Is lid; medium and inferior, Is 7d to Is 9Jd per bushel~"(sacks extra).

Wheat. — Local inquiries are almost entirely confined io choice lines (Tuscan, preferred). Medium quality still finds little favour with millers, and any lines of this class offering for positive sale are being quitted as "fowl wheat. This has fair- demand at quotations locally, but prices ruling leave no margin for shippers in comparison with values at northern ports. We quote: Choice milling, 3s 3d to 3s 4d; good do, 3s Id to 3s 2d; whole fowl wheat, 2s lid to 3s; broken and damaged, 2s 6d to 2s lOd per bushel (sacks extra). Potatoes. — In the present state of the market, with so few going into consumption, sales cannot be forced, but considering the quantities lately imported into the colony, values' are fairly well maintained. Prime Derwents have most attention, .and next in favour come good lines of Up to Dates. We quote:. Best Derwents. £9 10s to £10; medium, £9 to £9 7s 6d; best white sorts, £S 10s to £9; others, £7 -10s to £8 os per ton (bags in). Chafr.^Weatlier conditions have not been favourable for cutting, and in consequence supplies have not been heavy. For prime, bright oaten sheaf there is good demand at prices a shade in advance .of late values. Medium and inferior sorts have not by any means the same attention. We quote: Prime oaten, sheaf, £3 10s to £3 15s ; medium to goodf £3 to £3 7-3 6d; inferior, £2 10s to £2 15s per ton (bags extra). Straw. — Moderate supplies coming forward. We quote: Prime oaten, 37s 6d to 40s; wheaten, to 35s per ton (pressed). Hay.— We quote : Best clover and ryegrass, £3 to £3 ss; medium to good, £2 10s to £2 15s; inferior and damaged," £1 15s to £2 ssper ton Turnips.— Best swedes, 20s per ton (loose), ex truck.

CLEAEIXG SALE AT COEYDCHST FARM, WAEEPA. Messrs Dalgety and Co. (Limited), in conjunction with Messrs Donald Eeid and Co., report having held a clearing sale at Corydon Farm, Warepa, on behalf of the trustees in ' the estate of the late Mr Peter Ayson, on Wednesday, 21st inst. Notwithstanding 'that the morning was very cold and stormy, there was a very large gathering oi farmers and others from the surrounding districtsr and as a considerable number oi them were 1 buyers the sale proved a highly satisfactory one. The sheep were in first-class order, and judging by the splendid fleeces of fine crossbred wool they carried considerable attention had been paid to their breeding. The horses were a useful lot, and met with very good competition; while cattle, implements, arid sundries made splendid prices. The principal sales were: 262 six and eight-tooth crossbred ewes, 27s lOd; 131 two-tooth ewes, 27s 2d; 214 crossbred hoggets, 18s 4d ; 121 comeback hoggets, 17s Id; 45 fat ewes ard wethers, 23s Id; bay mare, £44; bay gelding, £40; bay mare. £39 10s; bay filly, rising three years, £36; dairy cows, £6 5s to £7 15s.

CLEAEIXG SALE NEAE WAEEPA;

Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report: We held a very successful clearing sale on the 26th inst. on account of Mr Ales. Smith, at Ms farm, Kocklands, near Warepa. The weather was cold and boisterous, but the rain, beyond an occasional heavy shower, kept off well, and a large number of the neighbouring settlers turned out to the sale. The farm having been recently sold, everything offered was for unreserved sale, and, as a consequence, there was brisk competition, and good prices were obtained. The sale arrangements were good, and the sa>le was got through in excellent time. Following are a few of the details. — 120 crossbred ewes (mostly full-mouthed, with some 4, 6, and 8-tooths), with about 150 lambs, at 275; 59 do, with about 90 lambs, at 27s 8d; 92 do (in lamb), at 255 ; 187 crossbred hoggets (mixed sexes), 18s 3d. Cows, at up to £5 12s Gd ; young cattle, at up to 51s. Bay colt, 4yrs, £38; bay geldmg, Byrs, £26 10s; other six horses (mostly unbroken light), at up to £22. The implements and household furniture offore'l brought full market value.

CLEARING SALE- AT POETOBELLO.

The Otago Farmers' Co-operative Association of New Zealand (Limited) report: — We hf>ld a cleaving sale of dairy cews and heifers, dairying plant, anil torses on accoiint of Messrs I), pnd J. M'Aulay, at the homestead of Mr 3. M'Avilay, Portobello, when we offered and sold the whole of their splendid herd of cows and young stock. As it -was generally known that they had disposed of their giazins; foxm, and in consequence the ssle would be absolutely unreserved, farmers gathered in around the old-established and popular home, whose owners' lynne is a household word throughout the disfriet,_and, after partaking of a capital luncheon prepared by M's M'Aulojr, the auction commenced, with

ths cows, which were all in fair condition, an 3 a large number of buyers being present from s>ll parts of the Peninsula and Southland, bidding commenced woll and continued so right throughout the aixction. There were nc startling prices niado, but values all round were good, and resulted in a very satisfactory clearance. Immediately after the completion of Messrs M'Aulay's sale we offered and sold on account of Mr A. Francis (Portobello), the whole of his dairy hord, consisting of 20 head of really good milking cows and a- number oi heifers close to calving. These- realised highly sa/tisfaclo-ry prices, as also did dairy utensils, etc.

SALE OF CLYDESDALE o^aLLIOXB,

The Otago Farmers' Co-operativja A3 sociation of New Zealand (Limited) report having sold "on account of Mr W. Cullcn, of Waiafea Fajjrn, Crookston, his three-year-old Clydesdale colt Lord Cranbourne, sired by Eoyalist; dam a Clanburn mare ; Clanburn by Lord Salisbury. The purchaser is Mr Andrew Chrystal (of Lochiel), who is to- be congratulated on securing such a fitie c"it at a price satisfactory to vendor and purchaser. They also report the saJe of a. Clydesdale colt rising three years, sired by Maxeshal Neil, by Herd Laddie ; dam by Wallace (imp.). This sale was made on account of Mr Alex. Moynihan (Momona) at a. satisfactory pnee, the purchaser being Mr E. Galbraith! (Tahakopa.), who is ta.king the colt to a rising " district, where no doubt he will be appreciated. "FOETY-FOTTETH ANNUAL SALE OP CLYDESDALE AND OTHER STALLIONS. • Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report a3 follows: — On Thursday, 28th inst;., v we held our forty-fourth annual sale at the^Otago* Agrictillural and Pastoral Society's show grounds, Tahuna" Park. The elements .were most unpropitious, for it was a cold," blustery; wet day, and at intervals it rained in torrents, whilst under foot- one had "either to wads throixgh pools of water or stand in slush anct mud over the. boot' tops. -The society was tm" fotunate in having- such a bad day, especially in view of the fact that the_display of Clydes- | dale stallions was about the* best that ha 3 been seen at Tahuna Park. Under -the circumstances, it was impossible that they coiild _ be shown to the best advantage, and the idea of holding a successful auction sale was quita - out of the question. The attempt to ..sell wasduly made/ but it ended practicaly in failure. There was a good attendance considering tha day, and the keenest interest was taken in the judging, but if there were many buyers present the weather conditions apparently damped their ardour, for very little business transpired under the hammer. On Friday, at the request of clients, we offered a number of Clydesdale sires at our own horsa saleyards, -and we have pleastire in reporting the following transactions during the two days: —

-On acount of Mr Watson Abram, Kelso: Voting Dalmuir Prince, -bay colt, rising three years old, stands 16J hands high, bred by Eeid and Fleming, Springfield, Crookston.

Macarthur has beeii exhibited B5 times', and has gained 32 first and champion prizes, two seconds, and one ' third — all tes a four-year-old and tinder — a record tin--fceaten by any horse, in the colonies. He is )Blosely related to the most fashionable breeds *pi draughts in the world. The full' brother tjf his sire— Flashwood— was recently sola at 10 years old for ihe -anpreoedentea price of )SOOO guineas. Mr J. Williams (of Mount CarBill) has purchased this high-class stallion at p, good figure, and we fell sure Macarthur II Wrill without doubt improve the quality of the corse flesh in his district. On account of Mr David Ross, Glenavy: ffh© dark brown Clydesdale stallion Rob Roy.

After taking numerous prizes as a filly she wound -up her showyard career in 1892 by taking first prize at Echuca in the brood mare class; at Rochester the same year first and champion for the best mare in the yard. Maggie Itfoore is also the dam of Carlyle Maggie and Carlyle Queen. Rob Roy changed hands at a highly satisfactory price, his new owner, being Mr D. M'Gill (of Milton). This horse has proved himself to be' a sirei of the highest standard, and the farmers and breeders in the district where he is^to stand will have an opportunity of using a stallion which will, we feel certain, improve the stock.

On account of Mr J. Golightly, Purakanui, we leased for the season at a very satisfactory figure the high-class carriage stallion* Shamrock ; sire, Wicklow (imp.) ; dam, Pocahontas, by Ringleader (imp.). The lessee is Mr L. Thynne (of Waimate), and as Shani,rock has already proved himself to be a sire of the highest standard we feel certain that j he will uphold his reputation in the district ' where' he is going.

GORE HORSE SALE.

The National Mortgage and Agency Coinpony report: — We held our monthly sale in Ward's Bazaar on Wednesday. The attendance was large, buyers being present from all the surrounding districts Our entry totalled 46, all being farmers' horses, of which we sold" 29. Bidding was keen for good sorts*, and all the draughts offered were sold with the exception of two. We could have done with a good many more young mares or geldings, several of our clients haying to go away without buying. The principal sales were as follows: One gelding, 4yrs, £37 10s; one gelding, £35; one gelding, £36 ; one gelding,, Byrs, £29 ; one gelding, £32; one gelding, £31; one three-year-old colt, £25 ; one three-year-old colt, £22 • one three-year-old, filly, £35; one five-year-old mare, £36; one nine-year-old mare, £27 10s; one nine-year-old mare, £29 ; one nine-year-old mare, £33. Several hacks and harness geldings from £7 10s to £25.

■„ OTAGO FARMERS' HORSE BAZAAR. The Otago Farmers' Co-operative Associa- ! tion.oi New Zealand (Limited) report: — We held ouv usual weekly sale of hors©3 at our bazaar, adjoining wool and grain stores, Crawford and Vogel streets, on Saturday last, September 30,, when we submitted to auction , 52 heavy clvaught, van plough, lorry, spring-

cart, order-cart, dog-cart, buggy and hackney horses. Consiigunients came from Goa, Becks, Milton, Waiwera, Taieri, Waitati, Hyde, Green Island, and Peninsula. The feature of the .sale was a team of magnificent three-year-old to five-year-old geldings, the property of Mr Samuel Fletcher, of Gore, wlioso name is renowned as an owner of good stock, and although his horses -were only in fair working condition and just out of hard work, tneir breeding, sine, and good general character had the effect of bringing forth very "keen competition from fanners and town carriers, who bid wiell and smartly for each horse of the team on coming befoie liio atictioneer, and oapital prices were realised A brewn six-year-old gelding, ownsd by Mr David Scott, of North Branch, Milton, was another special feature of the entry. Tins gelding attracted very great attention, and, after a couple of minutes' keen bidding, fell to the bid of Mi- Brenchlcy, contractor, for £bO. A number of geldings and maies included in the above consignments met a. good market, and changed hands at good pi Ices.' We had a large number of buy ears present, and quite a dozen more geldings similar to those mentioned could have been placed without any trouble. Van geldings were in demand, hu*, only three or four of this class wcie on offer, and which sold readily at nice prices Eight or nine spring- carters found n?w owners at highly satisfactory values. A consignment of springcart and thoroughbred colts and fillies from Mr Thomas Mcc, of Forrest Farmi, Becks, the former broken to chain work and the laitar only broken to lead all changed hands at hiv money. Mr C. Gambell, who nad an entry of 10 useful horses, was fairly successful, avid disposed of the most of his contingent at good values. Several nioo buggy gtl dings of medium value changed hands, ai:d a fevi u&eful horses, suitable for bakers' and grooc-rs' carts were easily disposed of. We have no hesitation in stating that there is a good market here for light and heavy horses young and sound. We may also mention that several buyers of good geldings did not get supplied on Saturday, and are still open to purchase, consequently vendors who intend soiling need ha"c no fear of the market. Our sale of Saturday was the most successful one we have had since our spring sale of August 17, Bidding was brisk and prices good. We quote: Heavy draught mares and geldings, £50 to £55; van geldings, £45 to £50; plough nidres and geldings, suitable foT foui-hcrse teams, £35 to £42; spring-carters', £25 to £30; ovder-cart geldings, £18 to £25; buggy geldings, quiet and sound, good movers, £20 to £30; carriage pairs, £80 to £100.

DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS,

Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows : — We held a special sale of North Island and other horses in our' yard on Friday after the sale of stallions was concluded. The principal feature of the entry was a consignment of North Island horses" brought down by Mr Ernest Stevenson, Palmerston North, and these and other entries made up a total of over 60 horses. Mr Stevenson's horses were just off the Tarawera this morning, and owing to this and the rough weather experienced in the North Island all through the winter they looked a bit thin and tucked up, but the majority are real good horses, although shown a little in the rough. There was a veiy large attendance of the public, but the majority of the buyers was in "search of horses fit for immediate hard work, and as Mr Stevenson's shipment consisted of lighter sorts than he usually brings, and most pf them being unbroken and out of condition, as explained above, business amongst his lot N was rather limited. As regards the other entries-, however, a total clearance was effected of all horses fit for hard work, and that at prices very satisfactory to the vendors. We could easily have placed another truck or two of good workers. Some of the sales were: — Bay gelding, 6 years, £50 ; bay gelding, aged, £36 ; bay mare, aged, £35 10s; bay mare, 7 years, £35; bay gelding, 3 years, £31; spring-cart gelding, 3 years, £27 10s; brown gelding, 6 years, £27; bay mare, aged, £27.

Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. report as follows : —As was to be expected after out special horse sale on Friday, entries for Saturday were not so numerous as usual; and all the horses forward were of a rather unsaleable class, consequently business was not as good as on the previous day. There was a good attendance of buyers, many town contractors and farmers were present, ,-niost of them on the look-out for sound young horses, suitable for shafting and farm work, and anything offering of these descriptions is readi'y placed at satisfactory prices. We have inquiries for heavy, young shatters, also for young upstanding light harness horses, and, as the market is firm at present owing to work being delayed on acount of the recent wet weather, any horses coming forward of the right stamp are keenly competed for. We quote: Superior young draught geldings, it from £50 to £55; extra good do (prize horses), £56 to £65; superior young draught mares, £60 to £75; medium draught mares and geldings, £30 to £45; aged do. £17 to £30; upstanding carriage horses, £25 to £35; wellniatched carriage pairs, £80 to £100; strong spring-van horses, £30 to £35; milk-cart and butchers' order-cart Iprses, £20 to £28; light hacks, £10 to £18; extra good hacks, £20 to £30; weedy and aged hacks and harness horses, £5 to £8.
