Ashburton Stock Market.

Messrs Fkikdlander Eros , Limited, ie- | port on the live stock market lor the wm k ending July 14 :—There was only a small entry at the Tiawald yards on Tuesday ; the totals being 2460 sheep, 14 cattle, 10 rams, and 17 pigß, of which our entry com prised 770 sheep and 4 catt'e. The af.end auce was an average one, and c-rnpetitioM Was, perhaps, not quite so spirited as the week before. Ihe entry waa chiefly made up of breeding ewea and lamba, which fuliy \ maintained ruling rates, ewes if anything being a trifle firmer. We succeeded ia placing our total entry at the following prices:—3 fat lambs 10a 4d, 8 two-tooth ews and wethers 9s sd, 6 fon.r-tooth ewes 12s, 23 two and four-tooth wethers 15?, 33 two tooth ewea and wethers 11s 7d, 1 six-tooth ewe 13s, 20 crossbred ewea 6a, 8 lamlis 33,14 lambs 7s Bd, 2 two-tooth wethers 16a, 5 cull ewes 2s, 1 ewe and iamb 10s. 57 crossbred 6W68 ia lamb 8s 10d, 180 orossbred ewea in lamb 9* 21, 248 four, six, and eight-tooth , ewes in lamb 10b 9<l, 161 crossbred ewes in lamb 7s lid. Three store cattle at 32a 6d. Our private Bales for the week have been — 350 fat ewes and wethera 14s 6d, 500 lambs 7a 6d, 202 crossbred wetheta 15s. Mr David Thomas reports upon the live ■took market in the Ashburton county for the week ending July 14:—On Tuesday, at the Tinwald yards, the usual weekly sale was hold. There was only a small attendance, but amongst them there was a fair proportion of buyers. The biddings were not spirited, although all lots were cleared, and prices obtained were considered on a par with those ruling la»t week. The entry was also small, made up principally of orossbred ewea and hoggets, the latter mostly in demand. Two good linos of ewes were yarded, and con gidering the ages, very satisfactory prices were given, viz,, 9s 9d and 10a lOd. The butchers' pens were over supplied for the 100% l demand, but prime and young aheep •old well from 12a, 13a 9d, and 15s to 16s. On old sheep, unless very prime, the butchers* were not keen, and it fell to the graaiers to make the bidding. The totals for the day consisted of 2460 sheep, 14 head of cattle, and 7 pigs. My entry waa made up of 696 Bheep, 8 head of catrle and 12 pigs, which I cleared at the following prices :— Sheep—lß fat crossbred ewes 7s 2d, 20 fat crossbred ewea 7a 6d, 18 fat merino ewes 7s 66% 17 fat crossbred ewes 8s Id, 28 fat cross bred* 7s 9d, 28 fat crossbred ewes Ba, 25 fat merino ewes 5s Bd, 27 fat croaabreds 6s, 7 merino ewes 3s, 10 rams 4s Bd, 128 fat two tooth crossbred wethers (freezers) 15s 3d, 137 crossbred lambs 8s 2d, 285 crossbred Irabs 8s 7d.

SAIN DEM <St »an» Euca lypti JExtrnet. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crnde oils may not be takeD, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of thePiussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, aa their information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we etate :— It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Scbulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that oniy products that arc saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other aubatancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the p!aut aocording to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Melntire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific teats, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. The^e so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are u&ed for meohanic&l purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product the only genuine Eucalypti Extra eta 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 thair taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatea. If these ciude oilsl, no-called eucilypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are ajpalliDg.
