ASHBURTON MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market in the Ashburton county for the week ending August 13 .—On 1 uesday at Tinwald the usual weekly stock sale was held. The attendance for this time of the year was good, but among them there were but few buyers and bidding was very dull, excepting for really good lines of hoggetb and crossbred ewes. Che majority of thesheep entered were of inferior quality, and were very* difficult to quit. One line of good threequarter-bted ewes in lamb realised as high as 12s 9J, others from 10s to 11s lid, hoggeta well grown were chiefly in demand, prices rangiog from 8s and 8a 6d to 9s 51. The butchera' pens suffered a decided drop. This was accounted for by the trade having too much stock on hand, consequently pen after pen was passed. The cattle suffered likewise, butchers not being anxious; stores were equally alow. The totals entered for the day consisted of 5078 sheep, 42 head of cattle," and 31 pigs, my entry comprising 1897 Bheep, 19 head of cattle, and 24 pig 3. Following are my sales:—Sheep—-13 fat two.tooths 10a 3d, 27 fat merino ewes 5s Id, 45 fat merino ewes 4a lid, 16 two-too«h wethers 9a 6d. 34 merino ewes 2s, 21 hoggets 7s 6d, 100 crossbred hoggets 9s 5(3, 105 crossbred hopgets 8s sd, 66 merino ewes in lamb 5< 6rf, 100 merino ewes ss. Cattle —2 fit cattle £4 17s, 1 dairy cow £4, 1 cow in profit £5, 4 head cattle £15s, 1 steer 17*. Pig,_ 4 stores 6s, 12 porkera 12s, 2 fat piga £2, 6 fat pigs £2.

LAND AND CLEARING SALE.

On Wednesday, Mr David Thomas held a clearing tale of land, crops, live and dead stock, and sundries in the estate of the late William Miller, of the Hinds, which w. s, he says, about the most successful sale he has conducted in the county for the last sixteen years. Everything being for absolute sale no doubt accounted tor the enormous gather log, and the high prices the stock and chattels realised. The sale started with the land, which was sold to Mr F. Emerson, Hinds, at £4 12a 6d per acre, Mr John Giloiour of Wakanui buying the 153 acres growing wheat at 34s per acre, and 43 acres oats at 14& per acre. There were implements And sundries enough on this 210 acre farm to have supplied an estate of 1000 acres, the whole of which realised prices reminding one of the boom in 1877, and were disposed of in double quick time. The total number of lots was 415, which is not a bad record for five and a quarter houre' selling. The prices realised were as follow:—Stack oat sheaves, £46; empty bags, old, 2id, new, 4d j Masaey-Harria garden hoe, £2 2s 6d ; three-furrow ploughs, £8 15a and £6 ; single furrow plough, £1 8a; six-horse tackle, 575; disc harrows, £2 12a 6d; five leaf harrows, £2 Ss; five-leaf harrows, £515 a j drill, £10; spading harrow, £4; old drill, £2 sb; Cambridge roller, £9; draye, ±4 10s, £4 10a, £3, £115s; Buckeye binder, £17 ss; Hornsby binders, £8 10s and £4: portable whare, £11; 4 porkers, 29* j 2 baconers, 52a ; spring trap, £16 10a; 4 sides bacon and 4 hams, £6 8»; oats, Tartars 2s sd, short 2* sd; wheat, 3b 5A per bushel;' draught horeee, £5, £7 10s, £11 10a, £12 10a, £13, 2 at £15, £15 15a to £25 ; leading harness, £1 2s 6d to £2 2s 6d ; shaft har- ; Bees, 30a to £3 10s; trap pony, £5 103 ; trap harness, £4 10s ; cows, £3, £3 53, £3 , 12«» £3 15s j steers, £3 each ; calves, 13s ; bull, £1; killing sheep, 25 at 9s 8d ; 104 breeding ewes, 10a 10d ; horse covers, 9 at 14s; furniture and sundries sold equally well.

SANDEtfc & isonis 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 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 testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmaeology,*atßon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that arc saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, reainous and other substances, 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 Dra. 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 & ROW'S EUCALYP JbXTRACT. 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 medicament. 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 Extrocts 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 rosins and tennates. If these etude oils, so called euealypt 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, and reliable preparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDEE & SONS.
