ADDINGTON MARKET.

Cheistchubch, April 14. Entries m all classes of sheep and cattle were very large at the Addington yards to day. There was an unusually large atten dance. Fat Cattle.—Of 200 fat cattle fitt.y were m dealers' hands. Steers of prime quality Bold well; for the rest there was hardiy any competition, and the bulk of those submitted to auction were passed m. Prime beef brought 16s to 18s per lOOlbs, aud infeiioi to medium 13a to 15a. The prices per head were—Steers, £5 15s to £8 7s 6d ; heiters, £3 12a 6d to £5 12s 6d ; and cows £3 2a 6d to £4 10b. Store Cattle.—The yards were failed, the bulk of the entry being yearlings to eisjhteen-months-old mixed sorte. The busi ness at auction is not worth quoting. Fat Sheep.—The heaviest yarding of fat sheep for some time was on offer, including | both ewes and wethe s, the former predomi- i nating. Prime crossbred wethers brought 12j 6d to 13s 2d, and others 10* 6d to 12s, I maiden ewes 9a to 12a 6 :» good young ewts < 03 to 10s Id, medium ewes 7s to 8a Bd, and aged aud inferior ewes 5* to 6a 9 1. Lambs.—sooo lambs were yarded, but the entry was very mixed. Good lines fit for export met fair competition at 10a to lls lid, but backward sorts were hard to dis pose of, even at a reduction, selling at 7s to 9s. Stork Shkep.— A medium entry of store sheep was made up chiefly of lurnipers and lambs, only af iw ewes coming to hand. A few lines of very forward ewes and wethers ■old well, but anything that was backward, and all classes of iambs, were easier. Pigs were m over supply, and a slightly easier tone prevailed. Baconers and porkers sold at 3^d to 3sd per Ib.

CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

ffihe Pr&s of yesterday reports :— The offerings of wheat have been fairly large during the last few days, most of the lines being m prime condition. Very little pearl ia coming forward, the bulk being Hunter'a, and of this variety a line of over 2000 bushels has been placed at equal to 3s 9^d f.o.b. Other smaller sales of Hunter's have also takeu place up to 3s 9d, while Tuscan has changed hands up to 3s 10£ d f.o.b.

Farmers, however, who hold prime sheaves aie un willing to sell at 50s cub up at country sta tions, sacks extra, but several Hues grown on heavier land, ani not m quite such good condition, have been placed at that figure for export. Bue Prussian peas are st 11 wanted, the ir^ydney market being a'most bare, while enquiries are arriving from all parts of the colony for good boilers. Pur chases of Derwent potatoes have been made at 35«, and 40s has been made for immediate delivery.

He is said to have been m tears the greater part of the day eucceeding hia great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's angei —controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, eveivv ' is lost through tht horse falling lame, and the man—always tlie man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarelj thought of, beyond the removal of the shot {often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought tc consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, *' I ut|ered no com plaint until forced; I used to be tieated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 V t WILLJAM== — PATCHING, EAST STREET.

QA xnER &, §ona Eucalypti extract There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the Blanket now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not betaken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI FXTRACT, which is r cognised by the medical divfsion 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 Is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifewald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated w'th oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and ether substances, adtierent to primary distillation, will davelope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is tha only extract corresponding to scientific tet», and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. Sandpsr & Son's Eucalypti Extkact. , All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, ami are abandoned as an internal medicament. 'Jhese so-called Eucalypti Extracts which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes jure only discernible. By their deficiency m pungent odour—which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts developes moat freely through its surplus of oxygen By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance beiDg reduced m specific density through the presence of acids By their taste, the result cf the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. j If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are ; applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchiti •, diph theria, in'ernal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the ~-conseuafiHces are appalling.
