CHRISTCHURCH HORSE MARKET.

Messrs H. Matson and Co. report for the week ending 23rd instant: —At Tattersall’s on Saturday last our entry consis'ed of 50 horses only, of which number 16 were un broken, and the balance broken horses of various descriptions. With reference to trade there is no alteration to report, a fair demand still existing for any young useful sorts in the way of draught stock, in fact for horses of this sort the enquiry is in excess of the supply. For horses out of condition there is not such a ready sale, inasmuch as with stock suitable for farm work, they are wanted for immediate nse, and of this latter class, i.e., low-con ditioned horses, there are a large portion coming forward. Both in Heavy and light ■took good sorts can be quitted without much difficulty, but other descriptions are somewhat neglected. At our sale on Saturday we sold— Plough horses, £l2 to £l4; unbroken colts to £ls 15s; medium class hacks and light har ness horses, £lO to £l4; ordinary do, £5 to £7; spring cart horses, £8 to £l2.

ASHBURTON STOCK SALES.

The N. Z, L. and M. A. Co., Ltd., report as follows At Ashburton County Saleyards, 31st inst., 4500 sheep and 40 head cattle formed the day’s supply. The sale passed off briskly, good young sheep being in demand at decidedly enhanced values. Forward cross bred wethers made 9s lOd, 10s Id, 10s 9d, and np to 12s ; do mixed sexes, 10s 3d and 10s 6d ; forward merino wethers, 6s 9d ; fat lambs, 7s 6d; medium crossbred hoggets, 6s 2d. Messrs Miles and Co. reportAt the Ash bnrton County Saleyards on Tuesday, a large entry of sheep came forward, for which busi ness was good. The attendance was large, and with a better inquiry a fair sale resulted, very few quitting the yards unsold. Cross bred wethers in forward condition sold from 9s fid to 11s 9d; mixed crossbreds to 10s fid; crossbred hoggets, 6s to 88 ; merino wethers, 6s fid ;do ewes in lamb, to 5s 9d. Cattle at late quotations. Messrs H. Matson and Co. report :—Our usual sale created a catalogue of a satisfactory character. We notice a tendency at this jeonntry mart, as well as others, to “ fall into the error of the past ” in foolish competition and strained values for store sheep. Now we are the last people to cry down (values, but we certainly do caution out farmers from be coming rabid in this season’s values. All we say, “ be careful, do not run away with the barrows, and have no teeth left.” For the past three years our farmers and buyers generally have not exercised that caution which should govern the actions of a “ rent and interest payer ” ; let reason, based upon calculation, govern your actions.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday, 24th September:— Farmers are especially busy completing their spring wheat sowing, consequently there has been a good demand for seed Tuscan. Business in the grain trade is very quiet. No grain arriving from the country districts, all orders coming to hand have to be drawn from store parcels, which are now gradually becoming smaller.^ Wheat is firmer and outside requirements are difficult to execute on account of the ex treme values put on by holders. Any decent lines offering are quickly taken at 4s 5d for Pearl and Tuscan, the former being in most request, and 4s 4d for Hunter’s; second quality varies from 4s to 4s 2d, and chicken wheat is still scarce at 3s 8d to 3s lOd. Oats.—The market is more steady. Milling are low in stock at 2s sd; short feed have been selling at 2s 3d, but holders are not anxious to quit, anticipati"* an improved demand. Banish and Tartars command 2s Id to 2s 2d.

Barley—The malting season will soon be over, and buyers feel indisposed to increase their stock. Prime malting is out of the market, and inferior is quiet at 2s 8d to 2s lOd; feeding lines have not been over brisk at 2s 4d to 2s sd.

Beans and Peas have no business to report and prices are unaltered. Grass Seeds have had slightly a better trade to note, but prices have not improved, as holders are anxious to reduce stocks, it been generally understood that a good deal of seeding down will be postponed until Autumn. Machine-dressed is being sold at 5s to os fid, and farmers’ parcels at 3s 9d to 4s fid. Cocksfoot is quiet. Clean heavy seed is wanted for shipment at up to 4£d, but other grades are neglected. Potatoes are offering in large quantities, and buyers are few and independent, only earing to execute orders. A large quantity has been shipped to Sydney during the past few weeks, but there are still heavy stocks for disposal. Growers are disposed to sell at 40s at country stations. Dairy produce is quiet and prices are unaltered. The above prices (potatoes excepted) are for delivery f.o.b. Lyttelton.

STARVED TO DEATH IN WELLINGTON.

(Corsospondent Lyttelton Times ) “Tired and worn out with anxiety” were the words written on a scrap of paper found upon the body of a labourer named Ward, which was discovered on the beach at Island Bay on Monday afternoon. Coupled with the condition of the body, and the man’s family, it told a heart rending tale of destitution, ending in a sad, lonely death, such as must ex cite the sympathy everyone in the community. The jury who sat noon the inquest to-day returned a verdict cf “Death from starvation,” and there can be no doubt of the justness of the finding, for the medical testimony proved thst the unhappy man had been days without any food Enquiries I have per sonally made show that Ward had denied himself food, in order that his wife and eight children might have something with which to keep body and tool together. The postmortem examination showed that there wes an entire absence of internal fat, indcvting that but a very small quan' ity of nonri li me nt had been partaken of for a long time past, while the Intestines contained nothing whatever beyoi d about an ounce of muoor, Dr Hu e en?on stated th it Ihe mat had died of alow starvation. Ward was a man cf rarely sensitive dispes tion, and hla wif •, l ; ke him, possessed that pride which, though a huh virtue under ordi nary circumstances, may almrst be said to be a vice in the condition in which the family were for some time before the hut band’s death. For two months bo had been unable to find employmer t or to pro perly feed his family; yet neither husband nor wife allowed even the nearest neigh bors to know of their condition. The man all this time did his best to find work of any kind, and had he allowed hia condition to be known, ha would have received abundance of help. But he suffered on heroically, and finally wandering away and laid down upon the sand anl died. Su*h is the sad story of a death that has caused a thrill of almcs-. horror throughout the cby. The widow told her tale of sorrow between heavy sobs, and when the note which her husband had latt written was handed to her, her grief was uncontrollable Poor soul, her’a was a hard lot,.rendered inde scribably pitiful by tbts last grief, which filled ter cup to sverflowing. Why the man wrote those words It is difficult to surmise. He did not write them at home u and there is nothing to lead to the tnp poaitlon that he mediated self-destruction. p., B ibly he felt that he could not hold out much longer, and wished to leave behind a irute record of the trouble he was too sensative to give words to while living, Mrs Ward, 1 learn (though it did not some out in evidence), had been cutting up her bedstead for fuel, being unable to purchase the smallest quantity of firing. The verdict returned is one which is uni que in this city, and I belivo in the Colony.

Medical. Q N B WORD. Dkae Feirnds— We have some hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, bat hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when wo state that it 1s only onr regard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have in tho long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being baaed on scientific formula and absolute care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of onr Haydook e New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr flaydock’s New Liver Pills, The reason of this de mand la because we find in Baydock’ New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised tho whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter, So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light aod buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is invigorated and sustained.
