CJIIUSTCHURCH LIVE STOCK MARKETS. 'i'he Nuv/ Zealand Loan and Merciutile A',;eucy Company (Limited) report as followB: — Chkistchukch. July 3.—Store sheep: A Miiall i.ntry of about 1500 was penned, c< ntiating mainly of crossbred hoggets and merinos. Thu extraordinarily dry winter b.tperionuod no far has, so far as store sheep uru concerned, kept the ball steadily rolling und '.hero is no difficulty in finding buyers tor any class of »heep (except, perhaps, merino wetliem) at remunerative prices to tho vendor. Transactions ranged as fob i'V.ya for iiuall lots : Crossbred hoceets, well-grown thrue-quarter-breds, Ss 4d to 12s ; aged merino owes, in lamb, 03 3d to bs 9d; crossbred ewes, in lamb, 12s.—Fat

«ho6|j. Yesterday's supply, an average one numerically, presented a somewhat ragged appeiraiK'o compared with the splendid quality of tho entries for some weeks past. Although, of course, there were pens here und there of very prune sheep, merino wethers were more plentiful than usual. The demand, both for export aud the trade, was as keuu as usual, aud last week's values were fully maintained. Tho fact of secondclass mutton being eligible for shipment lis- - ! undoubtedly unhuiced growers' profits. Boat ero ;nbred wethers made 17s to 21" Gd, mixed croaubrudu l(is to 18s Ud, crossbred eivos 12h Gd to Ufa, and merino wethers 10s to 11;. —Fat cattle : The small and, in point of quality, mdilloreut entry no doubt largely account.; for a sudden animation in the tieof trade. Good quality wan eagerly competed for, -md owners' ruturns should bu equal to 19s Gd to 21s for prima and 10s to 18s Gd for .-iuconil rate quality.—Store and dairy cattle : Store cattle were to lie bought at reasonable tiguree. and several lot'j changed bauds. Young heifers in fair condition made .12 10s to £3, and sorao atom's iu fair order found a now owner at JM encli. Very few dairy cows were sold.
