ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Ohbistohubch, December 29 With the exception of fat lamb*, the entries in all classes of stock were small ai the Addington market. The quality of thp entries in moat cases was very poor, and a very dragging sale ensued. A good deal of time was unnecessarily wasted, the salesmen becoming disgusted at the want of animation. The attendance was nob large, and the buk of the people appeared to be there out of curiosity rather than with any intention of doing business. The entries for the day comprised 979* sheep and lambs, 191 head of cattle, and 177 pigs. Of the 103 head of fab cattle which formed the beef supply, nearly one half were in dealers' hands. Of those which came to auction, only about half a dozen steers showed quality, and these brought £7 10s fco £8. The rest of the entry was composed of light weight and inferior animals, for which there was little or no demand. Per head, steers brought i's to £8, heifers £2 7s 6d to £1 ss, and cows £2 121 6d.±o~£iL. -At, per 1001b, prime beef fetched 16s 6d to 17a 6d, good 13s 6d to *ss, and cow and inferior 10a to 12s 6d.

Fat Sheep—The entry of fat sheep was one of the smallest seen in the market for a long time. With the ex ception of one or two small lines of good crossbred wethers, tho yarding was made up of ewes, the bulk either ag d or backward in condition. The small number tit for freezing prevented the export buyers from operating, and the market was left entirely in the hands of the local trade. Wethers met a fair demand, and sold at 9i to lis 3d. Young ewes were fairly well competed for, and brought 7a to 8a 6d. Medium sorts hard to dispose of at 4s 6.1 to 6a 6d, and aged duggy sorts were difficult to quit even at 2s 6d. Fat Lambs —Another very large yarding in the fat lamb pens. 4185 were on offer, and although there were a few really good lambs in, there was a much larger proportion of inferior and unfinished sorts than was the case laat week, and there were a great many in this olaas which should have been in the atore pena. Thia waa partly caused by no fewer than eight tracks from the south not arriving at the market until nearly midday —too late to allow of being drafted. Freez ing buyers and the local trade competed keenly for all the best lines, and prices for these quite held their own, but ordinary butchers' lines were a trifle easier, and theie was little demand for poorei claasea. Frett ing lines brought 9a 6d to lis 9.1, ordinary butchers' sorts 7s to 9a, and graziers' lots from 3a to 6s.

Store Sheep.—There was a large entry in the store pens which consisted mostly of lamb*, which holders were compelled to sell owirg to scarcity of feed, and some very fair wethen. There was a rather belter demand for forward sheep fit for topping off, bub others were neglected. Forward wethers 7a to Bs, and a line of 461 very good, 8s Id; medium up to 6s 6d, backward 2a 3d to 4s 6d; maiden ewes 5s sd, good for ward lambs 6s 6d to 8s 6d, medium 4s to 6a, and backward and weedy sorts from Is 3d to 3b 6d ; boilers 81 to Is 3d. jp I6S . —The small yarding of pigs met a very keen sale. Baconers and porkers can be quoted at quite 4d per lb per head. Baconers 363 to 50s, porkeis 21s to 33< 6 t, good stores 12s 9d to 20s, and weaners 9j to 12s 3d.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mesara Friedlander Bros., Limited, report a very busy week. The usual weekly stock sale on Tuesday, a very large.horse sale at out West Street Mart on Wednesday, and extensive and successful clearing sale at Methven on Thursday, and on Friday a large aale of very superior Japanese fancy goods and art objeots took ua right into Christmastide. This reminds us that the New Year is cloae at hand, and while wishing all our numerous and valued clients the compliments of the season, we sincerely regret that the present year has been such a very trying one. We hope, however, that a more prosperous and seasonable year is before ua, and that it will bring to one and all every success and happiness. The stock sale on Tuesday, the 21st insfc., was a small one, and prices obtained were on a par with those ruling the week previous The entries for the day comprised 855 sheep, 29 cattle, and 5 pigs, of which our totals were 429 sheep, 10 cattle, and 3 pigs, which we placed as follows :—36 fat crossbred ewes 5a 9d, 30 fat crossbred ewes ss, 20 fat lamba 9a 9d, 33 fat crossbred ewes 4a 31, 6 fut lambs 10s, 2 lambs 6s, 302 lambs 5s lid, 4 fat steers £4 ss, 1 fat cow £3, 2 fat cows £3 ss, 2 stores 129, 1 cow £1 6s, 3 pigs 255, Special Horse Sale—This took place on Wednesday laat, when there was an entry tf about 70 head.

at from £1 to £3 10s, and harness at fu 1 I O^lhiirsdaF we had to transfer some of ! our hands iomeitavea to <<-«Unvn our valued ; client Mr James Nee of his extensive con tractor's plant. Mr Nee, we regret to say, has been in ill health for some time past, and the sale on that account was looked ! upon as a genuine one, and as a result a really good clearance was effected. The high prices realised were in a measure due to the excellent condition of the whole of the plant, and for this Mr Nee deserves great credit. The following are the chief prices realised :—Stripper £3, tip dray £7 lOi, drays and frames £12, £13 10a, £9 10s, double-furrow plough £7, three trees 225, double-furrow plough £7 10s, blocks end tackle £1 17a 6d, £1 10s, double-furrow plough £8 ss, three trees £1, block and tackle £1 ss, roller £5 15s, McCormick reaper and binders £9, £7 10s; Maseey Harris reaper and binders £10, £10, £9 5s ; brown mare Byrs, £21 ; bay mare aged, £18 ; bay mare syrs, £22 10s ; bay gelding 7yrs, £36 ; bay gelding aged, £12 ; bay gelding aged, £24; bay mare aged, £27; brown gelding aged, £11; brown gelding aged, r-JBSfc-j b*jr-g*l<JM.g aged, £11 ; bay gcHU i ing aged £5; bay fi ly 4yrs, £20 ; bay mare with foal at foot, £21; dark bay gelding, £27; bay gelding 3yrs, £21. We next soil, on account of Mr Max Friedlander, some of his two-year olds by the good old horse Blackwood Abdallab, as follow*:-£18, £18, £13, £13, £11, £11, £10, £10, £10. We then had to pay attention to the regular monthly Methven stook aale, at which fixture we cleared : — 60 fat two aud four tooth wethers 10a ; 60 fat ewes, 6a 6d ; 150 fat four-tooth wether?, 10s 4d ;36 ewes and wethers, 6s 61; 18 fat ewes, 63 6d ; three Massey Harris, second hand reapers and binders, On Friday the Japanese goods were offered. A very extensive catalogue was submitted, which took the auctioneer till 10 o'clock in the evening to get through. ■ The goods were much admired by those who ■ took the trouble to examine them. Prices, however, were in favor of the buyers, and we are afraid that our friends, the Museum Company, will not be in a hurry send to Ash burton another consignment of such beauti ful goods.

HEALTH AND STRENGTH REGAINED, j Could Eat and Sleep Like a Child. ; fctr. and Mrs. Forbes, formerly of Johannesburg,' now residents of East London, Cape Colony, send their portraits and testify to the merits of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. East London, Cape Colony, So. Africa, July 11,1896. "Shortly after leaving Johannesburg, where we had resided several years, I contracted a fever, which left me in a very weak state. Ljr&s a kmg time without any improvement, and none of the various remedies I tried, under the doctor's direction, did me any good. My husband anauy persuaded me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which cured several acquaintances of ours who had suffered from impoverished blood and general debility, x therefore began to take the Sarsaparilla, and its good influence was soon apparent. Within less than a month I was as well as ever, and could eat and sleep like a child. Gratefully yours,  iw Mr Henry Forbes writes in confirmation of his wife's testimony, and adds that he had suffered from dyspepsia and loss of appetite, and that he was cured by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Beware of worthless substitutes. See that the name-Ayer's Sarsapi rilla-is on the wrapper, and blown in the glass of each bottle. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., U.S.A.
