CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Lvtttlton limes.

Sinca last report prices of wheat have again hardened, and a, rise of Id to l£d per bushel may be quoted. Northern millers are baying up all Sines offering, and several large holders have been induced by the rue in prices to cell out. This week's Bteamers are taking north a good deal of wheat which has only recently been disposed of, showing thab stocks there are low. Local millers are also purchasing any haudy lots at country stations, so as to keep a good supply in tsbair stores. No business has been done in oats during the past few days. There are very few lines offering, and buyers will only do business at reduced prices. An export trade in beans has opened up, and this week's Home boat ia taking a fairly large quantity of beans for the English market. Thin has led to an increased demand, and farmers have taken advantage of the oppor tunity to dispose of their holdings. A rise of id per bushel may be quoted. Oiders for potatoes continue to come in bat slowly, and prices remain unchanged. Dairy produce is arm at prices quoted. The following ara prices current :— Wheat—Pe&rl (prime milling) and Tuscan 4s Zi, to 4b 4d, Hunter's to 4s 3d, good seconds 3s 4d.

NEW ZEALAND FROZEN MEAT.

There was (a London correspondent writes) the usual amount of ignorant and prejudiced testimony given before the House of Commons Meat Committee about New Zealand meafc, representatives of the British farmers declaring, of coarse, that it is of inferior quality and unwholesome, and com petes unfairly with their own produob. It did not appear, however, that these wit nesßes on behalf of the British farmer had any real knowledge of the matter at all, or had ever taken the pains to verify their allegations. Mr William Cooper, chairman of the meafc and cattle trades section of the Central Chamber of Commerce, held that the provisions of the Meat Marking Bill were quite impracticable, and would do great harm and injustice without »ny good, while they certainly would be detrimental to the British farmer. He asserted that an army of inspectors, with a life-long training and highest probity, would be required to watch all shops and transactions. He calcu lated it would take 250 men twelve hours to mark the carcases in one shipment. H© declared that forty carcases of New Zealand mutton were sent to Aberdeen for sale by auction, and the purchaser sent them to the London Central Meat Market, where they were sold at a profit of 2s per stone, from which it was evident that no one concerned realised that it was New Zealand mutton, the remark merely being made by the sales man that the goods appeared rather wet and in bad condition.

CANCER MORTALITY.

country have ex cited (says the Medical Press) a cer tain curiosity abroad

as to the existence of a similar tend ency in other countries. Unfortu nately no sufficient data are available in moat European countries for the compilation of similar statistics, but it appears that in Paris, at anyrate, the proportional morta'ity from cancerous diseases is even greater than in Eng land. During the year 1894—the most recent return that the dilatory methods of foreign statisticians have placed at our disposal in a complete form—out of 51,653 deaths no less than 2,698 were ascribed to cancer, so that, roughly speaking, one of every j twenty deaths iv Paris is due to this 1 cause as compared with one in twenty j three in Great Britain. More recent; | statistics confirm this proportion, but I unfortunately no similar comparison is j possible in respect of the mortality for i France as a whole.

S" AW'DE i-c Sc Wons JEnea > lypti ESxtrnct. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract In the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may cot be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is 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 fcate: —■ It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at GreifswaSd, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other Bubstancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Frofeasor Dr, Lister, of England, and to Drs. Bsuer, Molntire, Wood, Hazard, <?tc,, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific testa, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SDK'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oila are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when uaed 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 used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most 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 oils, so called eucalypt xtracts, are applied by mistake in cases of roTip, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDBK & SONS.
