ADDINGTON STOCK MARKWT.

CuKis'fCHUROH, November 17,

Considering that there was no sale at j Addington market last w«ek, the entries in most departments to-day were much ■ mailer than was expected, and the attendance was only moderate. Not so much prize stock was entered as is generally the ca-e just after the Metropolitan Show, and business throughout the* day dragged. The entries comprised 5570 sheep and iambs, 542 head oi e*ttle, and 358 pigs. Fat CattiiE—2o6 head, including some wry prims bullocks and alters, came for ward, but the bulk was secondary and inferior ituff. Bidding for the better o ass Was fairly good, but cow aud iuferior torts met a great drop, aud before the end of the auction conld not be quitted at any price Mr G. E. Rho<W prize bullocks brought £9 hi and £8 17a 6d. Beat tullooks ranged from £7 15a to £9 5", beers £4 15i to £7 10s, heifers £3 103 to £6 7s 6d, oowa from JJ3 5s to £6 10s. Prices per 1001b were— prime beef 17a to 19s, good 15s to lbs 6d, <j»w and inferior lls to 11s 3d. &TORE Cattle.—-The pens were well tilled with youag stock but the bulk was eithe" rough or ia backward condition, and there WlB little or no inquiry and very few changed hftnde, two-year-old steers brought 50a, eighteen months old 445, eighteen months old heifers 57a, and yearlings 15s to 20s. FAT SsHEEP.— The y&rdiDg waß Bmall and nearly all were Bhorn loti, with a few very aood peDB. The market opened fairly well, but before the sale had proceeded far it was evident that the local tradesmen had the market ia their own hands in the absenoe of export buyers. Prices fell considerably tor all aorta, whilst ewe muttou became a perfect drag, and in spite of the shortness of grass many lots were returned to the pa.ddocks. Wethers in wool brought from 15s 6d to 18a 3d, shorn 10s 6d to lls lOd, and merino 10s 8d j other shorn wethors 8s to 10s, and extra Kocd, up to lla 6d } good maiden ewes 8s to 10s 4d ; best trade ewes 9s to 10s 6d, medium 6s to Bs, and inferior 4a to 5s 6d, merino wethers 63 to 9a. The bulk of the 600 fat lambs entered were very poor quality, small and backward, and it was evident that many were culls of flocks. Better classes about held their own, but the poorer sorts were nealeeted. Good iambs sold from 10a to lls 6d up to 12s 6d for ahow lots; inferior to medium sorts from 6s to 9s. Stork Shmp.— Only a amall entry of store sheep, ewes and lambs being principally in evidence, as is generally the case at this season. The ewes all had large percentages of lambs most of which were small and back ward owing to the scarcity of feed. One or two lines of small two-tooths were yarded and sold from 6s to 7a, ewes in wool with lambs brought lls Bd, shorn ewea with 100 per cent, of lambs (all counted) 2s 6d to 4* 6&. . . Pigs.—There was a good yarding of pigs which met a ready sale for all fat sorts, but stores were slightly easier. Baconers ran from 3id to 3|d per lb, and porkers from 3gd to 4d. The prices per head were for baooners 30s to 50a 6d, potkera 20s to 31s, etorea 12s 6d to 17s, and weaners 6s to Bs.

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of thePrussianGovernment be of perfectly pure origin, as pet information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics* of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald,' Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Professoj of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr ] Moseier, Director of the Medical Clinics al Greifswald, that only products that art saturated with oxygen and freed of acids res.nous and "ther substancos, adherent t( primarf distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Ailoruda oils, or so called Kucalypti Extract' are to be classed according to the uained authorities, among the turpentines, whiel are abandoned lonp since as an interns 1 udicament. These crude oils, or Bo^called Eucalypti Extracts, tue discernible: 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our producr, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.

KING OF QUALITY ie a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is » colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feeo and piaterns, also great bone, clean and



flowing with nice silky hair-—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution.



His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Eae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i}, grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King waß first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse^with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champwj upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2od (299, 5.C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is bo favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand.



PROPRIETOR AND MANUFACTURE? ishurst, N.Z. Canterbury Representative, MR Q P. EOATTEN, Ashburton,



King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare ac the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has scamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from fche show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113 5.8.)

King of Quality as a yearling gained first priza at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Punedin. It will be «eea from the above that King of Quality is descended from fche purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
