The Lytteltmi Tints of yesterday reports : There was an almost entire absence of business m the grain market on Tuesday, things at) the present time being m an un settled state, and as millers are fairly supplied with wheat they are nob anxious to operate at present ab valueß quoted by sellers. Oats are ttill scarce here, and buyers are not inclined to give prices aiked, but as values have now risen m the south it is probable that the balance of the Canter bury crop will hare to pass into consump tion shortly. - Chaff of a sorb is offering freely, but really good heavy samples are scarce, and a good deal of what is coming to market has been discolored by the late rains. All good lines of Blue Prussian peas are being readily Bnapped up at 3s 9d f.o.b; for the Sydney markets, but there are no beans offering. Potatoes show an inclination to ! harden, and 37s 6d at country stations is now obtainable for all good lines, whilst higher prices are obtainable for later de liveries* Onions have risen to £6 per ton and meet a good demand for the Sydney market, and it is more than likely that higher prices will prevail shortly. The following are current priceß : — Wheat.— Pearl, 3a 3d to 3s 4d j millers' mixed lines, 3s 2d to 3i 4d ; Tuscan, 3s 2d to 3s 3d ; Hunter's, 33 2d to 3s 3d.

It is an alkaline prepara- tion of tar, oils, and aoids, end contains 26 per oent of tar acids. It is an excellent preparation, and is not only well suited for destroying ticks, lice, etc, and tor treating " eoab," "mange," etc., but also for destroy- ing the spores of the anthrax microbe 'Bacillus anthraas), and preventing the epread of anthrax among flooks of sheep.
