The w< athcr waa pieferab'o to last week, and stock looked 20 per cent better than at the previous sal?. !1 he attendance was good, and mostly bent on business, so that, the auctioneer and tbeii* agen's were kept busy. Very few sheep weie passed at auction, and what were so were eagerly picked up at satisfactory prices to vendor afrerwards. The butchers' peDB were fully supplied, and nude up chiefly of merino ewes and wethers. In the former a very Rood line sold nt 7s, and wethers fetched 0s 9J. Crossbred ewes, some of good quality were penned, but did not mee'. with eag r competition, A few crossbred ewes in lamb cime forward, and I noticed a demand for this class, especially young sheep Limb's were on par with late Bale, ami all lots changed owners. In •nerino owes the quality was not good, and trddias; was very sack, but through scarcity of grass a new owner had to be found The total yarded for the day compiieed—679l cheep, 89 head of cattle, 36 rams, and 149 pigs, of which I sold on account of various clients 4657 sheep, 35 head of cattle, 36 rams, 129 pigs, which 1 disposed of at the following prices:— 33 fat merino ewes 7a, 20 fat crossbred ewes 9i sd, 113 fat. merino wethers 6s 7<l, 7 fat merino wethers 6i BJ, 12 fat merino ewes 33 93, 3 crossbreds 9s, 19 merino ewes 2a lid, 57 merino ewes 2* ld s 37 fat crossbred ewea 9s 3d, 5 two-tooth crossbreds Ss, 57 crossbred lambs 6s, 24 crossbred lambs 3s lOd, 41 half bred ewes in tomb 3a M, 549 hsjfbred wether lambs 6a 3a, 66 cmssbred six and eight-tooth ewes in lamb 7s, 185 merino ewei in lamb Is 9.1 j 116 on si bred Jambs 43 2d, 60 crossbred lambs 5$ 9d, 400 merino ewes in lamb Is lid, 248 aierino awes in l*mb la 6d, 189 crossbred lambs 5s 4d, 46 four, six and eight-tooth crossbred owes in lamb 6a lid, 58 two-tooth eross breda 7a Bd, 283 two-tooth crossbred wethers 7s 9J, 125 crossbred two-tooth wethers 9s Id, 133 merino ewes in lamb Is 3d, 54 crossbred lambs 5s lid, 89 fit two-tooth crossbreda 11s ' 9d, 224 two-tooth crossbted ewes and wethers 9s 10', 257 crossbred Jambs 5s 3d, 202 crossbred ewes 7s 6d, 202 crossbred ewea in l&mb 7a 9d, 49 crossbred lambs 5 s Id, 92 crossbred ewes in lamb 7s, 43 crossbred ewes in lamb 5J lid, 71 crossbred ewes ss. Arcade—Oa Saturday I held a very successful clearance of draught horses. A consignment from the south w<ia the feature of the yaids, and prices obtained ware very sati&factory. Of the total entry of 48 head, I sold 26 at the following prices j—Heavy draught* £11 10*. £14, £15, £16 103, £18; light draughts £9. £10 10s, £11, **13; har ness horses £6, £8 Ids, £10 10s. Messrs Fdeilander and Co report on the live stock market f .>r the week ending, 1 Friday, July 5 :—At the Tinwald yards on Tuesday last a rather heavy entry of sheep were sent forward —Hoggets, crossbred and merino ewes in lamb, and a fair yarding of two-tooth sheep for finishing off on turnips, besides a good entry of butchers sheep. The -fttteadance waa good, and ie wai sorm noticeable that people came with the in- i tent ion of supplying their wants. In fat I sheep, the butchers operated freely and a very good clearance was made in tint de partment, la store nho p the market opened very strongiy. Hoggets and ewes in iamb were in stiong demand, and nearly every line was disposed of at fall market rate", either at the hammer or immediately af er. The following are she price-, raa'istd in the f*fc peas—Merioo ewes sold from 33 6d to 7s, merino wethers 63 61 to 63 9J, crossbred ewes from 7s 61 to 9s 9.1, and a pen of ew&s and wethers (young dieej) at lie od.

Several lines of two-tooth crossbreds for finishing off were yarded, but the demand for this class of shocp was not quite as strong, and did not meet w:th such good competition as we expected.

NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of Ayer'S Sarsaparilla. R<md the following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above: "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so badly affected that I feared even to ' from one room to another, on" account of the stuange objects that appeared. to Hit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took his advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say* that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best health-restorer that has ever been offered to the suffering masses." IYER'S Sarsaparilla With Highest Awards at the World's Great Expositions.

Chertßey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine. Agent lor Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, Ashburton Sib,—l consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He got bo had that I had to lay him up, No matter what I gave' him he kept losing condition and became bo weak that he could scarcely stand. I oarefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for bi3 work. lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no tqaal,— William StkingfeliiOW. Laurißton, August 18, 1894 Mr Heceltine,—Sir, I think it is only right that I sheuU tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly eatisfled wife Walker's Bot Ply Bemedfcu I got from you. After feeing the state of tbe stomach el my bor.-e that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock aB they all looked bad, I drenched eigh*. following carefully tbe direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was «i wonderful change for the better I oan highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horsee chopping dead as I had, I believe it to ; be the ooly safe and certain oure for the suffering of horses James Lemon Asbburion Fork?, March 1, 1894 Mr J Hesfltine. Sir—l p-m very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Bemedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying horse. Ha was ailing for some days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was scarcely able to walk about; we quite expected be would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with tbe most satisfactory results, and shortly af'er be gf t the last bottle he began to im prove end by tbe end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and oan recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edward Cobbkti Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, Augusts, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies. One of my beet horses be came very bad; tbe Bkin tight, the eye life less and & bad color, and got low in condition Anxious 1o finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became un able to lift bis feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Bemedies, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Bemedies, he would have dud. You can use this aB you please. Bobebt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heweltine, your agent, was a wonderful suooesa. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I web induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous, I strictly followed tbe directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February wiifa the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Sibwabx Mr Gross. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horße suffering last year; on reaching home he was dead. This season one took had, also showing the symptoms. He gave theßemedy, and tbe etcocd day after, the horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well.
