CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Pi-ess The demand for prime milling wheat con tinues to be fairly active, but the offerings are nob numerous. During the past few days several parcels have changed handy, including 700 sacks of Tuscan at equal to 4s 4df.0.b., gOOaaeka of Hunter's at 4s 3£d f.o.b , and 500 sacks of Pearl, Tuscan and Hunter's at a shade over 4s 4d io.b. Any parcels of wheat that are not prime are somewhat difficult to place, more especially as holders of this description are asking prices above the real market value. The oat market ia quiet. Potatoes are firmer, consequent upon the large quantity being shipped both to order and consignment. The following are current prices p&id to farmers, f.0.b., Lyttelton, for direct ship merit from country stations and free of commission:— Wheat—Good to prime quality pearl 4b I 3d to 4«4di Tuican 4s 2d fco 4a 3d, Hooter's 4t 2d to 4» 3d, second quality wheat about 2d lower. „ _, *  t OATO—Prime milling: 2s 3d, good atout feed 2a Id to 2* 2d, fair short feed 2b to 2» Id, duns & 2d, Danish is ild to 2s.

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Chbissohuboh, September 15. There were only medium entries in most Classes of stook at Addington to-day, but the attendance was fairly good, and business throughout healthy, resulting in a clearance of all classes of stoak. The entries were 7226 sheep, 400 oattle, and 285 pigs. Fa» Cattle.-- The yarding of fab cattle, Wfeioh consisted of 192 head, was composed lor the most part of good quality bullo3ks ? nil of which met ft fair sale. A line of twenty-eight head of very good buuocka from the North Island brought from £8 10s to £9, averaging about £812 a6d per head, and five nice steers from the Lincoln Agri cultural College realised from £7 15a fco £8 15s. Steers brought from £5 10<j to £9, heifers £4 10s to £7 7i 6d, and cowa £5 10^ to £6 7s 6d. Prime beef may be quoted a< 17s 6d to 18a 6d per 1001b; good, 163 to 17s; and ordinary and cow sorts from 13s fco 15a. Dairy and Stqrb CAmsi—a large yarding of cows and springers contained very little of good quality, and sales were rather hard to effect, only the best sorts realising £6, whilst the poorer sold as low as 10s. There were very few stores on offer mostly dry cows and weedy youngsters. Fa« Sheep.—An average^ yarding of fat sheep contained some fine lines of freezers, but the bulk of the entry was ewe mutton, and a number of really prime merinos. AH classes sold well; heavy crossbred wethers up to 17s 9d, prime freezirs 15i 6d to 17s 2d, lighter 13s to 15a, good mixed sexes 14s to 15s id, maiden ewes 13a to 15s od, butchers best ewes 12s 64 to 14a 6d, merino wethers j 7s 7d to 14s 6d. j Fat Lambs. —Something like 100 fit lambs were on offer, and met with good de mand, being cleared at from 9s 6d to 11s for medium sorts, and from 12s to 15s 3d for some prime lots. Stobb Sheep.—This class was but poorly represented and was mostly made up of small lines. A nice line of 300 halibred wethers brought 10s Bd, others 8a 8d to 10s sd, ewes and lambs 83 lid, lla 9i to 12b 3d Pigs.—A small yarding of all sorts met a brisk saie, baconers and porkers realising lrom,3id fco 4d per lb. Stores were in good demand, and a rise in this class can be re corded. Prices per head were—baconers 323 6d to 475, porkers 17a 6d to 28s, and stores 17a to 22a 6d.

CYCLING.

The League of New Zealand Wheelmen and the New Zealand Cyclists' Alliance each held meetings at Chnafcchuroh last night, when the scheme of the amalgamation of the two bodies was considered. The Alliance passed a resolution, by eleven to seven, that it was not desirable in the in terest of amateur cycling that that body should amalgamate with the League. It was decided to advertise for a paid secretary at £15 per annum. An application from the Wanganui Club I|O hold nexfc year's champion shipß there was held over. The League at its meeting decided in favor of amalgamation by twenty votea to foun The delegates took the view that the League should cater for amateur cycling, and a motion was carried giving the executive power to take what steps "it deemed advisable ia the League's interests. An alteration was also made on the rules by which all cycling clubs could be charged 2£ per cent. 00 prize money, and sports promoters 5 per cent,, in order to assist the revenue of the league. The Secretory of the Chris'church Cycling Club has received definite information that Gkeea and Reynolds are not likely to visit New Zealand at present.

ITEMS FROM PARIS.

From Our Own Coriwjwtsrtont CYCLING IN PAIUS. An idea of the immense popularity of <he velooipedic sport among the IVritiann nvfcy ba formed from the fact that, tho Oily Council voted the sum of IO.OOOfr. for Itwl Sunday's Grand Prix de Paris at Vlnoenue*, an event which attracted upwards ot 20,000 spectators to ths velodrome, and wai attended by several Ministers. Le Journal dcs Sports was actually "on cry " at the opening of the race, and it is said that over 120,000 copies were sold that afternoon assd evening. A SAD CASK. The Palais de Justice has just been the theatre of one of those dramatic scenes which even send a thrill of emotion through the hardened apeatatora ot tho daily dramas of the law courts* A husband had started proceedings against his wife for a divorce, and the couple were to appear beforo a magistrate to see if a reconciliation were not possible. The first to arriva in the big waiting hall was the husband. A few seconds afterwards came the lady, who at once rushed to him, and, on her knees, beaeeohed to be taken back. But the man was obdurate, and would hear oi nothing but the proceedings. The kindly words of the Judge had bo better effect, and the two were ushered out of his study, the proceed ings being left to take their course. Then the woman again faced her husband, and, drawing out a bottle of poison, swallowed it. Next she made a rush downstairs and outside towards the rivet. She was, how ever, prevented from getting into the Water, but her condition rendered id neces sary that she should be taken to the Hotel Dieu hospital. SUIfIDKS IS IBANOI. I Th« present suicidal epidemic which is ■ sweeping over France has set the statistician to work, and hia discoveries, if somewhat lugubrious, are remarkable. First of all, the number of women who commit suicide to-day is equal to the number of men, whilst three years ago they were only one in three. Whether this is due to the aivent of the new woman or not he does not say. ! But to proceed, the latest returns issued by l the Minister of Justice show that in a i single year 945 persona, took their liveß | through great poverty or fear of the same, 673 through loss of employment, gambling, I or loss of fortune, 1021 through domestic ' troubles, 461 through love troubles, 187 through jealousy, 1226 whilst in drunken fits or consequent upon habitual drinking, 42 through disgust of military service, 262 in order to escape justice, 1819 through physical sufferings, 1553 Bimply because they could not have what they wanted, 1468 through brain troubles, and 1066 for un known reasons. Turning to the modes of suicide, we find that in one year Paris had 967 cases of suicide, 42 were due to poison, 244 to asphyxiation, 271 to strangulation, 167 to drowning, 175 with the aid of fire armßj 10 with weapons of a sharp character, 49 by precipitation into space, 6 by getting themselves crushed, and there are two cases in which the means of causing death have remained unknown.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. lv order that theae crude oik may not be token, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which ia recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacoiogy, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moaler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other subatancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according co these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,. of America, ia the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI JBXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed mong the turpentines, which have, when ÜBed as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are ÜBed for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent 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 crude oils, so-called eucalypt xtracts, are applied by mistake in cases of roup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nfiamatioßS, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling.

The vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in cash for the rights acquired by him, the whole interest in, and the title to which are handed over to the Company. ]Jt is proposed by the promoters of this Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which is increasing daily, wilt realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can be safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the. buds again in Spring, The stem and main branches may be safely dressed at any period of the year. One good dressing will be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re- I quire further dressing for years, For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelbaod's Patent Blight Specific Will be found a moat effectual remedy. Ik will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wood, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit, The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Ooriliu Moth, increasing the growth and keepiog the tree in a f reßh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable cost. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it is gratifying to be able to herein add the very satisfactory reports of the ex ceedingly severe tests to which the Specific has been subjected. The specific being manufactured under the oare and supervision of the patentee can be sold at the small coat of 10s per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit.
