CHRISTCKURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET. Press.

The extraordinary rice that has taken place in the European and American wheat markets was net altogether unexpected. The millers in England have been working upon unusually light stocks for some time past, and the damage to crops on the Conti nent, coupled with the shortage in France, accentuated the position and inflated prices. The damage to the spring crops in parts oi America also tended to excite the markets there, but the latest advices ahow that both in that country and England the upward tendency has received a check, and prices hare receded somewhat. The local market has firmed considerably during the week, and though there is not much business doing the sales that have been effected are on the basis of a penny riie in values. Early in the week several pnroels of fair to medium quality wheat changed handa at equaf to 3b lid to 331H<1 f.0.b., and during the IMb few days a line of prime milling Tuscan has been placed for local consumption at 4a at ft country station, equal to nearly 43 2d f.o.b. Another parcel of the same variety of fair quality waa sold tt 4«ab Aldington. A mixed line of from 1200 to 1400 buahals of damaged wheat was placed for export at a price also showing an advance on previous Bales. Several thousand ■aaks that were in agents' hands for disposal have been wi hdrawn for the time being, owners preferring to awaib further develop ments. A fair amount of business is doing in Dunedin in prime velvet and Tuscan, but medium sorts are difficult to dispose of. Quotations are 4s 3d to 4s s£d for velvet and 4* 2d to 4s 4d for Tuscan. The Melbourne oat market shows a further deoline in feed descriptions, la 6d to Is 8d being the quotations, but milling have improved from 2a to 21 2d. New Zealand heavy feeding are still worth 2s 5d in Sydney. The Ohriatohurch oat market is rery quiet, the business passing being of a hand to mouth character, and prices are weakening. A line of short feed has been ■old at equal to 2s 2d f.o.b. for local con somp'ion and long feed at 2s at Christ church. The enquiry for oats at Dunedin has improved, but owners' reserves stand in the way of much business being done. Seed are worth 28 3d to 2a 6d, milling 2a Id to 2a 3d, and feed Is lOd to 2s. The potato market is dull, and the ten dency is to weakness. The Auckland quotations show a decline, Southern potatoes being worth £3 15b to £4. There is nothing doing in other lines of produce. The New Zealand Loam and Mercantile Agency Company report that at their monthly grain sale, held on Friday, they submitted a varied catalogue of about 4000 sacks to a fair attendance of Jbhe trade, but bidding for all classes of produce was dull and lifeless, and as buyers' ideisof \alue did not come up to owners' reserves, the greater portion of the catalogue waa passed in unsold. The following pricen were realised :—Milling wheat 3» 9d to 4s lid, whole fowl wheat 2s 9d to 3s 6d, seconds 2s 3d to 23 6d, oats, prime feed 2s to 2a Id, feed barley 2s 4i, potatoes, Blue Derwents 35s to 40a. All the above prices were for delivery in Christohurch. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.0.b., Lyttelton, for direct ship ments from country stations and free of commission :— Wheat—Good to prime quality pearl w Id to 4a 2d, Tuscan 4s to 4s Id, Hunter's 4s to 4s Id, second quality wheat about 2d Oats—Prime milling 2a 4d, good stout feed 2s Id to 2* 2d, fair short feed 2a Id to 2s 2d, duna 2s 3d, Danish 2s Id to 2a 2d.

A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, ai V]im NEVER fails any one in jrkiaXUlll such» predicament, lo sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Bi iousness and Constipation it i« " 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 *>«»&• Itß secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi. Jed not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. ko oare 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 ab once a laxative, an 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 CUBBS: Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Diaainesa, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition. NOTE THIS WESJMLf— The whole system of a human being may be ptrfecttv sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organß of the boay may perform their 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 mueji 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 the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and itß first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts 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 life from the proper assimila tion of the food; and where there is no organic diseaae health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good." It may be betier~for the dealer— because of its better profit, but in such an instance the dealer ie not the one who needs help.

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\ PTI EXTRA.C r, which is recognised by ihe medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pare origin,, as then information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate:— It proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawatd, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Boa, and Profeaaor Dr. Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, thafc only products that are oaturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other subst&ncos, 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 Drs. Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond. ing to scientific testa, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be claesed 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 nifty have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical Sirposes are only discernible. y their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, tbe 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 crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal Inllamafcions, dysentery, wounds, the oonnequencea are ai palling. For safety alwayß ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDEK & SONS.
