CHRIBTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET. The ~yttelton Times of yesterday reports : The chief feature m lh« grain market on Saturday was the further hardening of the better classes of wheat. A considerable quantity of this cereal changed hands at an advance of quite three farthings, and m some cases, of a penny per bnshel on rates ruling before the holidays. These operations in cluded several fair-sized lines, which were taken for local gristing. Cables received on Saturday announce that the English wheat market is firm, with an upward tendency, and this, of oouree, has been reflected m the American market, which is advancing The outcome of this will probably be that less wheat will be sent to Sydn«y from California, and therefore there will he a better opening m Australia for the New Zea land article. Dnring the week a nailing vessel left for Sydney wi.h nearly 1000 sacks of wheat, whilst a Mr amount has gone l-y the Union Company's vessels Amongst the ■ales on Saturday were a large line of Tuscan at equal to 3s 3sd f.o.b , and agood •ized parcel of tni*ed Pearl and Hunter's at equal to 3j 4Jd, a small line of Pearl at 3a 3}d, and another big parcel of Hunter s at 3s 3|.i. It should be mentioned that all lines of good wheat which have been under oover during the late wet weather are now being eagerly taken, as it is feared that there , is a danger of any whioh has not yet been threshed coming to market m a more or less damaged condition. Two or three fair lines of Canadian oats were taken for milling at equal to Is lid and Is ll£d f o.b. The following are current prices f.o.b. Lyttelton:— Wheat.— Pearl, 3s3dto3s4£d; millers mixed lines, 3a 2£d to 33 4Jd ; Tuscan, 3a 2d to 3s 3|d ; Hunter's, 3s 2d to 3« 3|d. Oats.— Prime milling, 2s to 2a Id ; short feed, 1b lOd to 2s ; Duns and Danish Is 9d to Is 10d. Babley.— Malting, prime 3a 6d to 4s; medium do, 3s 3d to 3a 6d ; seoond quality, 2s 6d to 3s ; feed, 2s 3d ; Cape barley, 2s 3d to 2s 6d. Beans.— Well saved 2s 3d; ticks, 2s 4d to 2s 6d. Peas. — Blue Prussians 3s 4d to 3s 8d; white, 3s 3d to 3a 64. Oatsheaf Chaff.— 4ss to 47s 6d at handy country stations, according to quality. Onions.— £4 10s at country stations. Potatoes. — Kidneys 403, Derwents 30s to 36a, both at country stations. Grass Seed.— Ryegrass, farmers' lots 2s 6d to 33 3<l, machine-dressed to 4s, heavy weight 4s 3d. Cocksfoot 3d to 3sd, town machine-dressed 4d to 4£d, extra to 4id. Dairy Produce. — Cheeße 3fd to 4d, loaf 4id to sd. Batter — Factory lOd, dairy 7d to 83, salt 6d. Bacon and hams 6d.

There ia no medicine so often needed m every home and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended, as Chamber lains Pain Balm. Hardly a week passes but some member of the family has need of it. A toothache or headache may be cured by it. A touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The severe pain of a burn or scald promptly relieved and the sore healed m much less time than when medicine has to be tent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets m, which nsnres a cure m about one-third of the itime otherwise required. Cuts and brnise3 should receive immediate treatment before the parts become swollen, whioh can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at> hand. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes serious. A troublesome corn may be re moved by applying it twice a day for a week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable time saved or a pain m the side or chest-, relieved without paying a doctor's bill. Procure a bottle at once and you will never regret it.

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it ib only by using reasonable precautions , that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less lhan one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is, due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively email. PoEsession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. — • (0) Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame — galvanised.
