COMMERCIAL.

London, August 25 The English wheat market is declining and lifeless, and since Monday last it has beeu virtually impossib'c to sell even at a decline of one shilling. The Continental ! market is also declining and weak, and the ] American falling with increased weakness. At yesterday's s.-les 1725 cases of Aus tralasian tallow were put up to auction, 1100 being sold. Medium mutton brought, 225. medium beef 20s 6d. . The prospects of the wool market are con sidered very good, and experts anticipate another good rise this, year, with an im proving market in 1896. Many of the tins of Victorian honey by the steamer Damascus arrived iv a gaping condition, while some were empty. The Victorian fiovernment is blamed for not stipulating for effective packing. The ship owners decline liability on the ground of in secure packing. The outer casing were in tact. The loss will probably fall on shippers.

Chertsey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, Ashburton

g IB) —I consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous eflects of the remedies I got from you on my horse. Ho got ho bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so weak that be oould Bosroely stand. I oarefuiy followed the direo lions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last botcle ha passed bots, and at onoe began to mend, and in a few days was fit for hia work. lam confident only for tho remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal.— Wi___iam Stbingfellow. L-tunaron, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine,—Sir, I think it is only right that I should tell you and my neighboring fanners that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fiy Remedies I got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenohftd eigh', following carefully tha direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and In a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise 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 the only saCa and Qart_!fl oura for the suffering of horses

Tames Lemon Ashburton Forks", March 1, 1894 Mr J Hes-liine. Sir—l am very glad so tell you that Walker's Bos-fly Rem-dies I got from yon proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ai'ingfor sony; days, hi_ coat got very dry, tho skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was eoaroeiy able to walk about; we quite expected be would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remediei", and gave it with tbe most satisfactory results, and shortly af er he g( t the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of & week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to bo a medicine unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse ownerß, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edwabd Cobbett I Greenwood Farm,

One of my best horses be oame very bad; the skin tight, the eye life less and a bad 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 hiß feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your BemedieEi, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he waa quite better, and now at hia work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not Riven him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use thiß as you please. Eobekt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Waiker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr HeaeltiDe, your agent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses neriously ill on December last. After using all tho remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous. I strictly followed the direoiions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, md. are now in prime order P.
