Press,

The improved enquiry manifested in the Melbourne wheat market last we>.k has resulted in the recovery of a half-penny per bushel, this week's quotation being 5s 9£d. A decided fall in the Sydney market from 4» 4d to 4s 5d down to 4* 3d his taken place, though flour has not been greatly affected. At the prices ruling it » im possible for New Zealand to renew the trade ia breadstuff* with New South Wales. The Adelaide m&rket shows no change. The local wheat market has manifested a little more life during the week Mi.lets, however, having two or three months' snip ply ou hand, and only a home demand to meet, are merely buying snuil parcels of whe&t to keep up their stocks. There is a considerable amount offering, but large holders wili not accept less than 4a at country stations. One small line of good milling Tusaan and Pearl whtat, f.a.q., has been placed afc 3s lid delivered at the mill. A large line, consisting of 3352 bushels of Hanter'u And 2i60 bushels of Pear! of inferior quality has changed hands at 3s 8d ftt the mill, and another parcel of 450 bushels of damaged Champion and Hunter's, which was rejected early in the season as being too soft, has been sold at an average t>l 3s lOd f.o.b. Prime quality milling wheat; ia in steady demand in Dunedin, and there is practically no change in prices. The Melbourne oats market continues to j be on the down grade, and heavy New Z &■ , land feeding are easier in Sidney, the latest | quotation being 2s 5d as against 2s 5d to 2a 6d that has been ruling for some time, Locally, there is little doiDg. The change in the weather nan improved the demand for ■eed descriptions, and the sals of good •amples can readily be effected, A line of 200 bushels of Canadians has been placed at current rates. There has been a better enquiry in Dunedin during the week, but prices show no improvement, good to best feed being worth Is lid to 2s Old, and prime milling and Beed 2s 3d to 2* 6d, sacks extra, net. 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 4a to 4s Id, Tuscan 3s lid to 4s» Hunter's 3s lid to 4s, second quality wheat about 2d lower.

SA.3NI>EIf-e &c ssons Euca lypti Extract. 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 not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which ia recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to bo of perfectly pure origin, aa the>r information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state: — . It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, andreported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moaler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, thab only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, reainous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, wiU develope the sanative qualities proper to the pant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Liater, of England, and to Dm. Bauer, Melntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, ia the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic valae. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among 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 ks 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 crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal innamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUOA LIPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS. The weather prophet a predict that the long fine dry spell which we have had will be followed by a very web and severe winter. The one thing needful for protection against the elements of such a winter is a really good reliable waterproof coat or cloak.
