ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Christchuroh, November 24

There were only* medium yardings of mo3t classes of stock (With the exception of fno sheep, which was in over supply) at the Addiugton market. The continued dry weather and scarcity of feed showed their effects on the store stock especially, and the sheep all looked very dry in the wool. The attendance was unusually large, and the general topic of conversation was the effect of the drought on both grain crops and feed, which were suffering terribly. There wus no animation in business, which was not consluded until a late hour, and the salesmen had a very tedious day. The entries for the day comprised 7673 sheep and lamb?, 423 head of cattle, and 14 pigs. Fat Cattle.—lß9 head of cattle, which formed the week's supply of beef, included some very useful steers, amongst which were twenty-eight from the North Island, which realised £7 7s 6d all round. The heifers were the only medium lob. Not much animation was shown in bidding, and the better classes suffered a decline of Is per 1001b. Steers brought £5 to £8 15*, heifers £5 7s 6d to £5 15s, and cows £2 17s 6d to £5. Prime beef was 16s 6d to 181 6d per 1001b, good 15s to 163, and cow and inferior 12s to 14s. Stobe & Dairy Cattle.—There was a fair entry in both departments, but no business was done to call for notioe. Fat Sheep.~A large supply on offer, the bulk of the entry being ewe mutton of various grades, but the market was relieved by the presence of a few pens of really first-claae wethers, and half a dozen small lines of freezing sheep. At the outset it was easily seen that there was to be a great drop in ewe mutton, and befora the sale Was over it was almost impossible to quit the poorer classes, and a good many were turned out unsold, in ail probability to face a worse market next week. With the scarcity of feed and the wretched prices ruling, for aged ewes, with which the country appears to be glutted, the alternative seems to be to resort to the expedient of potting or boiling down, as was done some years ago. A few pens of chow sheep sold fairly well considering the prices ruling for other sorts, but these were disposed of at c msiderably below what they would have fetched this time last year. The few lines of freezing sheep must be considered to have sold fairly well when it is remembered that the summer prices for freezing which have now been imposed at the factories meant an additional cost of Is 9d on each sheep of 601b, and all were cleared at the following quotations :— Freezing wethers, 9i to 10s sd; maiden ewes, 7s 5d to 9j ; prime trade ewes, 7s to 8s ; medium 53 to 6a 6d ; aged and backward from 2s upwards. Between 800 aud 1000 Jambs were in the fat pens, the balk of which were small and backward, and only the best met competition, even these showed ft decline. The very best brought 10a to Us 7d, medium 7s 6d to 9s 6d, others hard to quit at 2s 6d upwards. Siore Sheep.—Only a few odd lots were yarded, the bulk of which were backward in condition, especially ewes and lamba. There was little or no demand and very few sales. A few forward wethers brought 8a 6d, back ward two-tooths 4s lOd, good hoggets 6s 6d to 8a 6d, and ewes and lambs {ali counted) 2s to 3a sd. Pigs.—The yarding was smaller than of late, and all classes sold well-scores especi ally. Porker.? brought from 3|d to ,4d per lb, and baconers 3£d to 3-|d. Per head, baconers brought 35s to 48-3 6d, porkers 18.4 6d to 29s 6d, aod stores from 9s to 245.

ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market for the week ending November 24»—On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards, the* usual weekly sale was held. The entry was small, and made up of shorn hoggets and crossbred ewes with lambs. The fat pens were well supplied, and nil lots were cleared by auction at prices slightly easier than the week previous. The attendance was on'y moderate, and very little inte|est was taken in the Bale ; farmers watching keenly to see if any improvement took place. If the dry weatlier should continue, I am afraid stock will have to be sold at a greater Jobs than at present. Of the entry, which consisted of 1494 sheep, 44 head of cattle, and S pigs, I sold all entrusted to me. These comprised 501 sheep, 13 head of cattle, and 3 pigs, aud I secured the following prices:—Sheep— 20 fat crossbred ewes 8s 4d, 19 at 83 lid, 15 crossbred ewes 10a bd, 6 shorn crossbred ewes 6* 3d, 31 merino wethers 7a, 20 fat crossbred ewes, shorn, 7s Bd, 20 fat shorn ewes 6s 3d, 20 ht crossbred ewea 6s 3d, 12 fat shorn crossbred ewes 9s 3d, 20 fat shorn ewes 6>. 22 fat crossbred ewes 6< 81, 26 at Ss sd, 17 an 5s 3d, 16 at 53 Bd, 64 at 5* 2d, 12 fat crossbred 9s. 4 crossbred ewes aud lambs 7* 3d, 52 at 5s 2.

To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is ■ ■ A friend in need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi tied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lastn. No care is required while using It. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu pation, and produces no inconvenience in its action. It is at once a laxative, au 'appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that, has ever been offered to to the public in a popular form. ALAXUM OURBS 'Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distreaj after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition. ] NOTE THIS WELL.-| The whole system of a human being may be perfectly' sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform cheir functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover ishment of the whole being. Such a con dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only in need of a remedy to sco the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities in a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be ' worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is ihe only medicine which combines these, two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acta directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new lifejrom the proper aesimila fcion of the food; and where there ia no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid.

Woolston, August 10,1897. To Spencer Vincent, Christchuroh, Dear Sir,—-For some time past I have been suffering from a most painful cough. I had quite given up hope of its ever leaving me, at least or the remainder of the winter, and feared that it had become chronic, seeing that other remedies failed to give me relief, much leas cure. The pain became po j intense that I was afraid of injuring "my | throat and head, especially the latter. I procured one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, and I may say that I hadn't an atom of faith in its curative properties, but felt that I must take something to ease the pain. I drank contents of first bottle very freely, J and am thankful to say in less than twelve L hours I waa wholly free from cough. J E. W..SfSABS. 1 P.S,—Nearly three months siape bough I
