Butter, dairy made, lOd ; factory, Is Id to Is 3d. Cheese 4£d to Sri. Bacon 4rl to 4§d. Melbourne, June 19 Wheat, 2s lid—very little business is doing, holders being very strong in their ideas of price; flour, £7 10s Oats, Algerian, Is 61 to Is 7d ; stout white, Is lOd to Is lid Onions £3. Adelaide!, Jane 19 Wheat, 3s—market sl«nv: flonr, roller. £7 10s ; bran and piUard 8f d to 9d. 'There is nothing new calling for any special comment on thu state of the Christ church grain market. An active demand exists for oats, which are offering very sparingly. Buyers, finding it to be im practicable to obtain supplies local'y to fill orders, are operating in Southland, and several large purchases have been made for shipment at the Bluff during the past few days at equivalant to Is 8d to Is 9d, f.o.b, sacks extra. Wheat remains qniet and the market is inactive, with a tendency towards lower prices. The dull state of the Home market is having a rather depressing effect, and speculation is for the time b iDg inter rup'ed. No sales to speak of have been made for the past few days. Chaff is en quired for at up to 45s at country station?, and holders are not offering freely at present. The demand is likely to continue good for some time to come. Feed barley is more saleable, and prices are a shade firmer, 2a being about the current value. Malting is very quiet, and buyers are out of the market. Means are steady, but the tendency of prices is to ease off a little, and buyers are not at present disposed to operate at above 2s 3d to 2 4d. The wet weather is chocking operations altogether in potatoes and supplies at Port and in store in town being light, there is a tendency to improved prices. Ryegrass, cocksfoot and Clover seed remain unaltered, and probably busi ness in these lines will be more active in a few weeks. Australian inquiries for produce from Canterbury are very meagre, and until we can find an outlet there business will remain restricted and fluctuating. If the dry weather continues there an active de mand may be looked for presently.

THE OUTLOOK.

Melbourne, June 19 j Ihe Age says that though the local money market is fully supplied, and there is satisfactory improvement end demand, suggestive of return of con-1 fidence, it is strange that while out siders interested in Australia's financial position are inclined to take a more I hopeful view of the future, in England there should be a most marked feeling of doubt as to how success will fully solve the difficult problem of settling with foreign creditors. There is al ready a slight indication on the part of the latter not to press their claim too urgently. The disposition on this side is to obtain concessions, which^ if granted in time, will have material influence on the future of the colony. It seems to be generally acknowledged that with the low prices of produce ruling, the colony cannot afford to pay the same rate of interest for private borrowings, as when wheatland yielded a better return.

Some disappointment has naturally been expressed that the chilled mutton sent Home by the Gothic did not fe'ch a higher figure than about 3d per lb. It should not be inferred from this that the process of chilling as applied to mutton is necessarily a failure. So far as we are aware no definite information has been received in the colony as to the condition of the Gothic's chilled mutton when landed, bat it is surmised that an explanation of the compaiativ«ly low price is to be found In the £*ct that the mutton was sent in the same chamber as the bed, and that the degree tf cnilling suitable for one is probably unsuitable for the other. No doubt it would be better—if, indeed, such « coursa is not absolutely necessary—to carry the beet and mutton in teparate chiliing phambers. Ho^ is it that Clarke Blood Mixtukb h»B obtained such great popularity is % question which has perplexed many. 'Ihe answer is, that it is unquestionably the finest Blood Purifier th t science and roedi cal skill have brought to light. Thousands of wonderful cureg have been effected by it. For Scrofula, Scurvy, Fczema, Skin and Blood diseases, Bad Legs, Sores and Pimples of kinds it effects arc mar rellous. told everywhere, at 2s 9d per bottk'.

The Civil Servants

Melbourne, June 18 Several civil servants whom the Civil Servants' Retirement Bill would have affected, are willing to accept equivalent compensation. The Premier declines to accept this, as it would mean too heavy a charge on the State. Those not desiring to return to the service will be granted six months' leave on full pay, but no more. Four teen officers in the Education Depart ment have accepted this offer.

The Railway Conference

London, June 18 The Prince of Wales opens the Railway Conference on June 26. The Agents-General will represent the colonies. Messrs Eddy and Caruthers will, in addition, represent New douth Wales and New Zealand. After four days of festivities, nine days will be devoted to business.

New South Wales Politics.

Sydney. June 19 The all absorbing topic of conversa tion in political circles is the attitude the Council is likely to adopt in regard to taxation measures to-night. It is thought that this branch of the Legis lature will possibly attempt to excise the income tax, leaving the land tax. The Herald declares it is not too much to say that this possible action of the Council is regarded by the country with grave concern and apprehension. The majority of the Council shows itself so bitterly hostile to the policy of the Reid Government as to forget the ordinary decencies of political life in its eagerness to destroy that policy before it is placed before the Council. As a whole, if the taxation measures are rejected, it will become a question of Council v. country. Mr Crick has introduced a bill to extend the restriction against the Chinese immigration to Japanese and Kanakas. Mr Cook, Postmaster-General, says New South Wales took action regard ing the Pacific cable loos; before Vic toria and Queensland, although they did not invest the Agent-General with the powers afterwards conferred by Victoria on her representative.

WALKER'S BOT-FLY BEMEDY.



Cherteey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine. AgeDt for Walker's Bot fly Remedies, Asbbufon Sin, —I consider it my duty to add my testimony to the muvel'ous effects of the remedies I got from you on ray horse. He got so bad thu I had to lay him up. No muter wha*. I gave him he kept losing condition and brcame co weak that he could scarcely sand. I carefu'y followed the direc tions on the botileß an.l shortly af er geH ing the last bottle he paa-sed bots, and at once becan to mend, Bnd in a few days was fii for bfo work. I nra confident rnly for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal,— William STMNGFEiiLow. Liurisron, August 18, 1891 Mr Heeeltine,—Sir, I think it is only right that I ehculJ tell you and my neighboring f'irmera that I am thoroughly satisfied wi'hi Walker's Bot F y Remedies I got from you. After seeing the a'ate of the stornioh cf my bore that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my Block as they nil looked bad, I drenched eiglr, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned th:m out Ihoroueh'y Bnd in a few days there was 1 wondtrful change for the better I oan highly recommend it and would Etdvise farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I beli°ve it to be tho ecly safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses Tames Lemon Aehburton Forks, March 1, 1894 Blr J Hes'ltine. Sir—l sm very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite ft success with my dying horse. He was ailing for soma days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was Bcaroe'iy able to walk about; we quite expected he would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remediea, and gave it with the moet satisfactory results, and shortly af'er be g( I the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week waa able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and oan reoommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse rem-dy in the market. Edward Cobbett Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, Augusts, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to boar testi. mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies; One of my best horses be came very bad; the skin tight, the eye life less snd a bud color, and got low in condition Anxious to 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 ! Remedies, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite j better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You oan use this as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you thafc the bot-fly mixture I | got from Mr Heaekine, your agent, was a wonderful success. I bad four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous, I strictly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenohed two more in February wi'h the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P* Stewart Mr Cross.
