ADDINGTON MARKET.

Christcuurch, October 7. There was a good attendance and fair entries at the Addington market to-day. Fat Cattle.— Th? entry consisted of 161 |gj)eftd,of usefuUjuility. The sale, however, fFwaa rather quiet. Steers brought from £5 to £9 2s 6d ; heifers, £5 to £9 ; cows, £4 2s 6d to £8. Beef remains practically un altered—from 19a to 21a per lOOlbs for best, and from 17s to 18s for secondary. : Dairy Cattle were poorly represented as'regards numbers. The top price obtained was £5 12s 6d. Store Cattle. — The sale wbs rather dragging. Old cows, 153 to £3 ; good forward conditioned young cows up to £4 10a|; forward 2£ to 3 year-old steerß £4 5$ to £5 2s ; yearlings, £1 12s to £1 17s. Fat Shbep. — A large yardiug; comprising a great many merino wethers aud half fat sheep. Export buyers declined to purchase anything but really first-class freezers. Tbia quality sold irregularly at about last ] week's rates. In several instances small ' choice lots realised fancy prices, owing to ■ the butchers and exporti buyers coming iuto ! Beyond these few spurt 3 the ' market jwas without buoyancy. Merino ' "■wethers' and sheep suffered a* drop, i Prime heavy weight freezing wethers j 163 to 18s ; extra up to 19s sd ; freezers, j mixed aexes, 15a to 17s 9d ; forward sheep, j not quite fit for export, 13a to 14s 3d ; beat ewe a, 10a to 133 6d ; merino wethers, j bes-t, lls to 12a ; medium, 7s 6d to 10a. j Fat Lambs — The supply was somewhat m excesH .of the demand, and prices naturally suffered. The range was from 8s 3d to 14s. i £tore Sheep. — A good entry came for- ' ward, and there was a fair attendance of buyers, but Bales at x auction were difficult to effect, two and four-tooth wethers sold at 11b 6d to 13s ; two aud four-tooths, mixed sexes, 103 6d to 12s ; good hoggets, 8s 6d to 10a 6d ; extra up to 13a 9J ; four-tdoth ewes m lamb, 13s 61; ewes with good lambs, 15s 6d. j Pigs. — A medium entry was yarded, and ! the quality was only average.

THE PREMIER MAKES A STARTLING SUGGESTION WHICH MAY PROVE AWKWARD FOR SOME PARLIA- MENTARY CANDIDATES 1 t B E Premier, when speaking at the open- ing ceremony of the Palmerston North Art and Industrial Exhibition on Monday last, said : — "I must not forget to mention the Ront- gen X Rays which are on view, and have done so .much to advance medical science and assist suffering humanity. Now, it any constitnency doubted that their mem- ber had any brains, they could get his head .photographed m order to see, and I would strongly advise all constituencies to have the brain of the candidates photographed before making a choice." This was a most thoughtful suggestion of the Premier. But what is the value of brains without digestion? He should have gene further and recommended the applica- tion of the X Rays to the digestive organs of the whole of Her My jesty's subjects, when it> would have been found that those whe were m the habit of drinking ordinary teas would find the coating of the stomach con- verted into a sort of partially tanned leather.- This causes indigestion, shortens life, and spoils the most angelic temper. Suratura Tea being as pure as the lily un- dented, is not only harmless, but an invigor- ating digestive tonic, and is recommended by ALL who have used it. Note. — An impottant omission was nearly beiDg made m this advertisement, viz. : — The usual guarantee that Suratura Tea is NOT blended with China or Indian Teas. JOHN ORR & Co., Agents.
