ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Cmus-rcHUKcn, August 14 J There was a good attendance at Adding- | tort to-day, and business in the principal i departments showed a satisfactory tone. Fat Cattle-A small entry, mostly in- I diff:rently fatted stock. The demand was good, and every head was sold at an advmce on last week's values. Beef, 22 sto 25s for good to prime ; 17s to 20s for secondary to medium. Store Cattlk—Few in number and values remain unaltered. Fat Sheep—The market was well sup plied numerically, but indifferently in point of quality The demand ran on freezers and heavy fat ewes, which realised an advance on last week's rates. Some good merinos went at very moderate prices, Imperfestly grazsd sheep were present beyond butchers' requirements, while graziers, from shortness of feed, are sellers rather than buyers, so that this class met a weak market. The range of prices was as follow :—Crossbred ■wethers, prime freezers, 15s to 17s; second quality, 12a to Us : mixed sexes, 14a to 16*; crossbred ewes, extra heavy, 14s to 19j ; medium ciossbreda, 10* to 13a; merino wethers, prime, 11a to 139 6d ; secondary to medium, 7s 6d to 10. Freezers and butchere' beat sheep may be quoted at 2d to 2|d p«r lb ; other clas=es, If d to 2d. Fat Lambs —Few came forward, and most were unfit for the butcher. One pen fetched 13a 6d, the rest down to nominal prices. Stoke Sheep—Some good lines of forward two-tooth halfbreds sold well. No demand for ewea with lambs or in lamb; Pica—Entry not large, and baconers and porkers commanded improved prices, fully §d being averaged.

Agent for Walker's Botfly Bemedies, 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 so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so weak that be could scarcely stand. I oarefuly followed the diroo , 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 bis work. lam confident only for thn remedy ha would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal.— William Stmngfellow. Launston, August 13, 1894 Mr Heseltine, —Sir, I tbink it is only right that I Ehculd tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Bemedies I got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my bone that died, I became alarms 1 about the rest of my stock as cbey all lo>ked bad, I drenched eight, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly end in a few days there was a wonltrful cbacge for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to 1«e no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I believe it to !be the only safe and certain cure for tbe suffering of horses Tames Lemon Ashburton Forks, Mr rob. 1, 1894 Mr J Hestltine. Sir—l sm very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Bemedies I got from you proved quie a success with I my dying horse. He was ailing for torn.9 days, his coat got very dry, the skio tight, a running at the noße and a very bad oougb ; and was searoe'y able to walk about; we quite expected he would die. I heard a c?cod deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedi*?, and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly after be g( t the last bottle he b-gan to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and oan r oommend it witb all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edward Corbett Greenwood Farm, Soutbbridge, August St, 3892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effect j of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies; One of my best horses be came very bad; the skin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got lo v in condition Anxious to finish ploughing & paddock 1 did not want to lay him up until he became un able to lift his feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tne treatment you pre. scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at hia work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You oan use tbis as you please. Robert 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 Heseltine, your tgent, was a wonderful success. I had four borg?s seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I wbb induced to try your mixture. The i esult was mar vellous, I strictly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and reaovering rapidly I drenched two more in February with tbe same result They all put on fleßh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stewart Mr Cross. Burnham, got tbe Remedy for a ] horse suffering last year; on reaching home be was dead. This season one took bad, also showing the symptoms. He gave tbeßemedy, and the second day after, the horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well. Chertsey, April 12, 1895 Mr Heseltine, Ashburton, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies Sib,—The remedies I got from you had a wonderful effect on my horse, he got ao bad that I had to lay him up quite expecting to lose bim I tried the usual remedies but he only got worse, at last 1 gave bim Walkers with astonishing results, Bots came away in Ihandfuls and in a few days be was hearty and well from the effects of this remedy on my neighbours horsem and my own I consider blessing to horse owners and could the poor offering horses apeak they would certainly praise Walkers Bot-fly Remedit s as the best ever introduced into tbis market John Dowkib Auama, April 3,1895 Mr Heseltine, Sir, —I have pleasure ia f vicg to the wonderful effects of Walker's Bot-fly Remedies on my borees, They got very low in oondition, a dry coat, and very tight skin, and lost all heart at their work, had to lay them up, Hearing so muoh about this remedy 1 Resided to give it a trial.
