CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Times. There haa been a slight revival in fche grain trade during the past day or two, and a few sales of small lines of wheat at 4s to 43 Id, delivered at Christchuroh, are recorded. These have been taken by one or two local millers for the purpose of keeping up stocks luquiriea have been received from North Island millers, who offer from 48 to 4a Id f.o.b. for limited lines, but at the & me time demand that the bulk shall consist of Tuscan and Pearl. Whether any business will be done with Auckland, however, is proble matical, as it was currently reported in town on Saturday that a shipment of San Fran cisco wheat would arrive there before the end ot the month by the Moana, and that it Oiuld be landed at 4a l|d. The prices ruling for local wheat in Sydney are 4a 5d to 4s 6d for milling quality, and 3a 3d to 33 4d for chick feed, With these prices, and the knowledge that large quantities of American grain are coming forward, there is little prospect of that market being opened to us. Oalifornian floar is selling in Sydney afc £10 10s to £11, whilst the local article is realis ing 10s per ton more here, so that it ia im possible for our millers to work off surplus Btocka in that direction, and some of ihem are already easing off operations, whilst others talk of shutting down for a time. The principal business in oats haa been the replenishing of cornf»ctors' stocks, and a few small lines of good short feed have been taken at 2s 4d at Ghriatchurcb, rand Duns and discoloured short feed at 23 3d and 2 s 3Jd. An extra good line of Canadians has been purchased for milling at 2s 6d, whiist about the same prices for the New Zealand article are ruling in the Sydney market. Maltsters are still ketn on any samples of barley suitable for their business, but prime sorts are exceedingly scarce. Owing to the uaprecedently fine weather for this season of the year there ia little or no demand for oatsheaf chaff, and farmers are offering with out meeting any response. Potatoes are a a dead letter, and merchants, seeing no present outlet, have dropped the price to 40a, an 3 even at that do not care to pur chase . A rise of 10s per ton on onions in the Sydney markec has been reflected here, and as enquiries have been received from that quarter local speculators are now pay ing £6 for sound samples. The factorits uve still keeping up the price of butter : but owing to the quantity of dairy-made on the market, this class has further weakened and stocks are difficult to clear. The following are current prices :— Wheat.—Pearl (prime milling) and Velvet Chaff 4a to 4s Id, Tuscan 4a Id Hunter's 4s, good seconds, clean, 33 to 3- 3i Oats —Milling Canadians 2* 4d to 2s 6d, Tartars 2-i 3d, stout feed 2a 3d to 2s 4d, Duns 2s 2d, Danish 2i Id Barley,—Malting 3«s 6d to 4--<, medium 3s 3d to 3a 64, feed 2* 2d U< 2a 6«.1.

THE ASHBURtON GtJABDIAN : TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1897,

Pri? te4 a.tid PttNMwd by the Anhburtoa Publishing Compaq, Limited, at their Steam Printing Office, Burnett Street. Aihburton, * ffTODAY, JOLYBO, I*7,



Press. The European and American markets are firm with an upward tendency. The quantity of wheat and flour afloat is 930,000 quarters for the United Kingdom and 740,000 quarters for the Continent, a sill further slight decrease '! he American visible supply continues to be a fast diminish ing quantity, and is now down to 25,740,000 bushels as compared with 59,800,000 bushels at this fci.ne last year. The Victorian wheat market has shown some improvement, there being more enquiry and an advance of a half-peuny, the laical quotations being 5s lOi to 5i lid. There is no quotable change in the Sydney market, 4a 5d to 4s 6d still being the price of local milling wheat. The Adelaide market is m an uncertain e'ate, and a fall of Id has been experienced, 5s 2d to 5s 3d being the latest advice. The local wheat market, which for several weeka past has been in a decidedly quiescent state, has at length recovered a little life. It h»s, however, re-opened at a shade under what may be termed the closing ratea, the sales that resulted during (he w«ek being on the basis of about a penny below late quota tions. The fact that local millers are well supplied prevents them from taking any very active part in the market at the present time, but Northern buyers are offering 4s to 4a Id, f.o.b. The latter will, however, take only limited quantities, and in most cases a large proportion of Tuscan and Pearl is required. Among the sales during the week that have been reported are several parcels o£ mixed milling wheat at 4a to 4a Id delivered at.-Ghristchurch, and several hundred sacks of mixed Tuscan and Hunter's have been placed for shipment Noitb at equal to 4s to 4s Id, f.o.b. A rumour was current in town on Thursday that an Auck land miller had arranged for a trial cargo of 250 tons Californian wheat, to cose about 4s Id landed. If the statement is true it will be at least a month before the cargo is landed, but local merchants were sceptical ac to whether such a contract had beeu mad®. The Duaedin market is lifeless and only prime lines can be placed. Pearl is quoted at 4s 3d to 4i 6d, and Tuscan 4.* Id to 4a 3d. There Is practically no change in the Auatralian oat market, this week's quota tions being on a level with those previously recorded. In Chrisichurch, stocks in the hands of the retail corn merchants have been gradually diminishing, and this has obliged them to again go into the market to obtain further supplies. Short feed has, then fore, sold readily up to 2^ 4d, while duns and dis colored parcels have moved off at 2s 3i and 2a 3 Jd. A liQe °* heavy Canadians has been sold at 2s 6:1 delivered at Addington, and another small Hue at the same figure, both being bright milling samples. Southland oata are again being offered in Christchurch, The Dunedio market is dull, and prices are rather easier than last week. Best feed is quoted at 2a Id to 29 3d, milling 2s 3d io The market for oatsheaf chaff is lifeless. There has been a good demand of late for agricultural seeds, old pasture ryegrass being especially in demand. Cocksfoot is easier. Potatoes are dull of sale, but the demand from Sydney has firmed the price «of onions. Auckland quotations are- Southern potatoes £3 15s t,e £4 ss, onions £6 lQs to £8 10s. In Sydney New Z^aknd grown potatoes are quoted at £3 and onions £8. a rise of Bs in the latter since last wetk The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.o.b , Lyttelton, for direct ship moot from country stations and free_< f com mission, except where otherwise specified :— Wheat —Good to prime quality peiu) 4« Id to 4s 2d, Tuscan 43 to 4s Id.

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\PTI 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 state :— 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. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at .Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substaucos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the j 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 tests, 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 medicamenf. 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 Burplus of oxygeu. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acida. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oil?, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, andreliablepreparation, —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS. Henry Zander.
