WALLACETOWN STOCK SALE.

INVERCARGIIuL, June 26. The heavy yardings in fat stock that have been experienced this season were still apparent at the fortnightly Wallacetown stock sale to-day. This year the large offerings of fat stock have continued much later than has been usual for many years, and this is attributed in some quarters to the good weather experienced, farmers in a number of cases being still able to get their stock fat off the grass. ' It is expected, however, that after next sale, a considerable drop will be noticeable in the yarding., and the period of small winter sales will be commenced. The demand at to-day’s sale was keen, but the setting in of heavy rain during the afternoon . affected the attendance of buyers, and towards the end the sale was inclined to drag. The last of the season’s fat lambs were in evidence, and realised good prices, although the quality was not on the average exceptional. . Prices all. round were

about equal to those at the previous fixture, quality considered. . Store Cattle.—The yarding in this section was the smallest seen at Wallacetown for. some time, the bulk consisting of empty cows. The sale, however, w r as a good one, the whole of the yarding being cleared at prices on a par with recent sales. Thrcc-year-old steers realised up to £6 10s; good conditioned empty C o' V t’ £3 10 s t°. £4 10s; lighter sorts, from JS. to £3; with boilers down to £l. Dairy Cattle.—There was only a small yarding, and any good factory culvers in good condition that could be guaranteed, realised from 11 to £lO 10s. Store Sheep.—There was a small yarding in this section, consisting chiefly of small lots of lambs of only medium quality, which sold at prices on a par with recent sales. Average mixed-sex noggets m poor condition realised from or 2s L medlU J m h °gg ets > Z4s to 26s 6d; good medium wether hoegets, irom 22s to 23s Gd; small cully lambs, from 15s to 17s 3d and aged ewes, from 10s to 14s. Fat Cattle.—The yarding of fat cattle was only medium, although slightly in excess of that of the previous sale. The demand for good quality beef was keen. Uiere was a small yarding of vealers. and these realised current rates. Extra prime bullocks realised up to £l4 10s; mediumweights, from £lO 10s to £l2, with lighter sorts down to £8; extra prime heifers sold at up to £l2 10s; medium-weights, from £8 to £lls lOd, with lighter sorts down to £6. Extra prime cows realised ™ 0; medium-weights, from £7 10s to £lO 10s; lighter sorts and boners, from £3 15s to £5 Vealers realised from 4os to £3, with runners to £4 17s 6d. Fat Sheep and Lambs.—The yarding was a large one, and comprised some welln.mshed sheep in both ewe and wether sections. The fat lamb yarding represetned the last of the season’s drafts, and was of only medium quality. The demand was keen, and prices were quite up to schedule, especially in stock of freezing quality. Extra heavy wethers realised up to 50s; good butchers’ wethers from 35s to 40s, and lighter sorts ; om 29s to 325. Extra prime butchers’ ewes sold at up to 40s, good butchers’ ewes 3os to 355, good freezing ewes from 25s to 335.

CANTERBURY MARKETS.

CHRISTCHURCH, June 26. - G uiatne6 s recorded in the market in the week-end report continues in cereal and seed lines, T>ut the week-end hardening has been maintained, in the potato market. Prompts have been sold this week at £6 5s \ a?* s ’i-» an d Julys are mentioned at_ the same figure. There has been a fair amount of forward selling for July. At present little digging is going on, and supplies are confined mostly to small lots, apparently the stocks which the growers have in their sheds. The Katoa is due to sail for Auckland to-day with approximately 5000 sacks as there is not another boat for a week. Onions are a shade easier. Local holders are now quitting as the onions will not keep very well at this late period of the season. Values on trucks are £9 10s a ton.

The cereal and seed markets are very quiet, and there is no change in values since the week-end.

AUCKLAND MARKETS.

AUCKLAND, June 26. Stocks of potatoes are short and spot stocks are keen in demand. Prices have advanced from £8 10s per ton, ex store, to from £9 to £9 10s. Onions continue very scarce. There is no change locally in the oats market, but business is exceedingly resfri£.ted and the same remarks apply to chaff. The seasonal demand for seed Algerians is commencing, but here again business does not appear likely to attain large dimensions. Wheat supplies are plentiful and prices are stable. Weakness characterises the maize market. Wholesale current prices are:—Sharps and bran mill prices, sharps £9 10s per ton, bran £8 per ton (merchants’ quotations, ex store); pollard £ll.

ADDINGTON MARKETS.

CHRISTCHURCH, June 27. The Addington market entries were much larger to-day in the main sections of stock, especially fat cattle and fat sheep. Store Sheep.—There was a heavier entry.mostly of mediocre class, with occasional pens of good ewe hoggets and wethers. Good stuff was slacker.

SOUTHLAND MARKET REPORT.

(From Our Own INVERCARGILL, June 29. GRAIN. Oats. —'During the last week there has been little movement in this market, the few offers from outside being invariably somewhat lower than current values. Stocks are by no means considerable, and largely in the hands of two or three merchants, who are firm holders at recent rates. 4s 3d, f.0.b., s.i., for A Gartons, 3s IOJd for B’s. Such prices meanwhile do not meet with acceptance by northern buyers. Stocks generally are light, and virtually nothing now is on offer from growers. There is evidence of a bigger demand than usual for sowing down, as, tempted by the remunerative prices, farmers almost generally disposed of their surplus over and above their feed requirements with the intention of having a change of seed this season. Chaff.—Owing to the activities at this time of the year on the farm, offerings recently from growers have been rather less than sufficient for the local trade. There has, however, been no movement in prices, which are still on the basis of £4 5s for prime quality, on trucks at growers’ sidings, sacks supplied by buyers. Ryegrass.—This market is still firm and active, sales having been made to both America and the United Kingdom. The basis of values between merchants to-day is approximately 5s 8d per bushel for seed germinating 85 per cent., and. from 281 b to 301 b per bushel weight. Chewing’s Fescue. —There has been a distinct rise in this market during the last fortnight, and to-day the basis of values for shipment between merchants rather exceeds lOd per lb, f.o.b. At this price, however, overseas buyers are disinclined to operate.

Crested Dogstail.—ln the absence of orders from the United Kingdom, prospects of this market in the meantime are by no means bright, English buyers now apparently having made up their minds to await the advent of the Irish crop before considering any further importations. Local values are on the basis of 8d per lb, f.0.b., for machine-dressed seed germinating well over 90 per cent. Exceptional lines, especially in regard to colour, are bringing from Id to )d more.

STOCK REPORT. The stock market is quiet and with the exception of fat stock, very little business is being transacted. Fab sheep continue to come forward in large numbers, the last Wallacetown sale being the largest for some considerable time and, notwithstanding, a good sale resulted, freezing buyers operating freely for fat ewes and light-weight wethers. Fat cattle are offering fairly freely, the quality in lots or cases being only fair, but any steers or heifers of outstanding quality meet with good competition. The store sheep market is very quite at present, the offerings under this heading being very small, but the market is good, and any good lines coming under the hammer meet with strong competition. The store cattle market is quiet and, of course, will be easier for the next few months. cat Cattle. —Prime heavy bullocks, £l4 to £l6; medium, £ll to £l2 10s; prime heavy heifers, £lO 10s to £l2; medium ■weights, £8 to £9 10s; prime heavy cows, £9 10s to £11; lighter, £7 to £8 10s; vealers, 30s to 37s 6d; runners to £4 JOs; prime ox beef, 32s 6d to 35s per 1001 b; heifer beef to 34s per 1001 b; cow beef, 25s to 27s 6d per 1001 b. Fat Sheep.—Prime heavy wethers, 42s to 455; medium weight, 38s to 40s; lighter, 33s to 355; extra prime heavy ewes, 38s to 40s; prime heavy, 30s to 32s 6d; medium, 24s 6d to 27s 6d; lighter, to 20s; prime heavy lambs, 35s to 38s; medium weight, 30s to 325; lighter, to 275.

OAMARU MARKETS.

OAMARU, June 29. flie cereal niarket has been anything but animated in Oamaru during the past week. So far as wheat is concerned, the major portion of it has been dealt with.
