OHR£STCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE IIARKBT.

Press. j The latest advices point to a heller tone j in the European and American nrnrket* The quantity of wheat and flour kfloat for the United Kingdom and Continent this week was 1,740,000 quarters, a alight de crease as compared with the previous week, and the American visible supply shows a further filling off of upwards of two million bushels.

The Victorian wheat market is a shade eaiier, quotations being 5« lOd to Sa 10£<l. The Sydney Mail says that " the one parcel of California!) flour of magnitude on the open market is held for a price at present ooniiderablyin excess of the market rate, and shipments of this discnptioss of flour afloat do not exceed a few hundred tons. From Manitoba larger quantities a>e due via Vancouver, Hong Koi g, and direct from New York, but a great qu mity of this has already passed out of tirst holders' hands. Even of, the supplies of flour mentioned aomo few days back as lying on the wharves &t Hong Kong awaiting freight lor Sydney, not a little has been sod to bftkers. And although the California^ har veut i* near at hand, the quickest shipment that could be arranged for this market is by the August mail boat, which means delivery in the middle of September. Any supplies ordered from New York would be still later In arrival. From San Francisco no recent advices have come to hand, but freights have risen slightly, an«l No. 1 milliug wheat is approximately worth 4s 81d to 4s 9il, although no doubt a firm offer of a shade lew would bring business. Only a few days back an attempt to fix a cargo of wheat from Sam Francisco met with non-success, a fractional difference in price preventing buiiaess. All the wheat afloat or ordered from San Francisco comprises about 2000 ton* in a vessel unnamed, and about 800 tons in the Casa Bona, due in a fortnight." Locally grown milling is quoted in Sydney At 4s 5d to 4a 6d, as against 4s 5d to 4s 7d last week. The Adelaide market-' has also receded 2d, and 5s 3d to 53 4d is now the range of values. The local wheat market is perfectly stag nant, and practically no business has been done for the past three weeks. Millers are refraining from purchasing at present prices, us they nay that no margin is now left for profit on orders for export. A number of small holders are offering their stocks, but meet wish no response. Those who can afford to hold, however, appeal inclined to await further development of the market, in the belief that the quantity of wheat available this year will be none too large for requirements, especially if the export trade in flour can be profitably continued The Dunedin market is quiet, the sales being chiefly of lines of choice quality. Prime velvet ib quoted ab 4a 4d to 4a 6d, and good to prime Tuscan 4^ 2d to 4a 4d. In Melbourne oats are irregular, and 2s 2d to 2* 5d are the only quotations given this week, but Sydney prices for New Zealand grown chow no alteration, prune being worth 2< Sd to 2s 6(1, medium 2s 4d, and needing 2s 6d. The oat market in Christchurch is still very quiet, there being only a limited de mand for local requirements, and in sympa thy with the southern market prices are somewhat easier. There is only a small business doing in Dunedin, the absence of orders from Australia preventing shippers from operating to any extent, except at speculative prices. Prime milling are quoted at 2* 4d to 2s 51, ftnd best feed at 2a to 2s 3d.

Shurpe have gone back to 90a. There is only a limited demand for oatsheaf chaff. The potato market is dull, and onions are in better demand, Auckland quotations are : —Southern potatoes £4 to £54 10a, beat onions £8 to £9. New Zealand grown onions have advanced 5s in Sydney, and are now quoted at JB7 15a. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.o.b , Lyttelton, for direct ship ment from country stations and free nl com mission, except where otherwise specified :—

Wiirat —Good to prime quality pearl 4s 2d to 4a 3d, Tuscan 4a Id to 4s 2d, Hunter's 4s Id to 4s 2d, second quality wheat about 2d lower.

Chertsey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, Ashburton Fir, —I consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous eii'tcts of tin remedies I got fiom you on my horse He got so bad that I had to lay him up No matter what I gave him he kept losing <!onrlition and became so weak thai he could scarcely stand I carefully followed the directions on the bottles aud shortly after getting the last Lottie he passed bois, am at once begun to mend, and in a few day? was fit for his woik I am confident only for the remedy he would have died I can highly recommeud it, believing it has no equal William Stbingfellow

Lauiiston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine, Sir, —I think it is out right that I should tell you and my neigh boring farmers that I am thoroughly satis fied with Walker's Botfly Remedies I gol from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of ray s>tock aa they all looked bad I drenched eight, following carefully the directions 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 believe it to be the on<y safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses James Lemon

Ashburton Forks, March 1, 1894 i Mr J H'seltiae, Sir, —I am very gad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite & success with my dying horse He was ailing for some days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a runn ing at the nose, and a very bad cough ; aud was scarcely able to walk about; we quite expected he would die I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory ies«lts, and shortly aiter he got the last bottle he began to improve and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well 1 believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and can recom mend it with all horse owners as the best horse remedy in the market Edward Corbitt

Greenwood Farm Southbridge, August 2, 1892 Mr Walker, Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderfut effects of your Bot-fly Remedies One of my best horses became very bad ; the skin tight, the eye lifeless and a bad color, and got low in condition Auxious to finish ploughing a paddock 1 did not want to lay him up until he became unable to lift his feec or do any more We had to ht'.'.p him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and the treatment you pre scribed, and in a few <ia>9 he was quite better, and now at his work hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Rt-medies he would have died You can use this as you please Robert Thompson

Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker, Dear Sir, —I have great p ea aure in informing you that the bot-fly mix ture I got from Mr Heseltine, your agent, was a wonderful success I had 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 marvellous, I strictly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched Mtfo more in Peb nary with the same result, They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P Stewart

j Anama, April 3, 1895 ■ Mr Eeseltine, Sir, —I have pleasure in i testifying to the wonderful effects of Wa ker's Bot-fly Remedies on my horses They got very low in condition, a dry coat, and very tight skin, and lost all heart a; their work I had to lay them up Hearing so much about this remedy I decided to give it a trial I followed cuiefully the directions on the label and the Jesuits were such as to satisfy me that it is >he only remedy for the suffering horae lam certain I got back the cost in their work inside a week I shall certainly use it in future in preference to anything else as it haa no equal J M Tweedie

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EOGAIAPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, aa their information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we at&te :— It proved by tests by the Medical Ciinica of the Universities at Bonn and Greifsw aid, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Hchulz.Profeßaor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other tubstancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant According to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Dr». Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,. of America, is the only extract correspond. ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value, SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI HXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be claused among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. [These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction afc Exhibitions | •is commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgenb odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops moat freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these etude oil«, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for BANDER & SON'S EUOA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS.
