CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUOE MARKET.

Press. The latest advice from London records an advance of 6d per quarter in wheat. The total quantity of breadstuffa afloat for the United Kingdom and Continent ia 1,750,000 quartersi as"aga;ns«i 1,858,000 quarters last week. The I • dean v* ib c supply was] estimated la t week at 29 691,000 bushels. The Victorian whtat market is quiet and there haa been little change in puc> s within the last fortnight, quotations being 5s 10d to 5s lid. In New South Wales the rainfall | in the wheat-growing districts will hive some influence on the future of the mai ket; but at the momeut the question of how far the Oalifornian harvest will affect shipments to Sydney seems to claim mo >fc attention. Thera is an increasing demand iv this market for Manitoba (lour, which is being sought after by Queensland consumers, and large quantities are being placed in that direction. Local millisig wheat has receded Jn price during the pa»t fortnight and iss now baok to 4s 5d to 4s 7d. The AdeHde market remains quiet, latest' quotationß being 5s 5d to Ss 6d. There has practically been no business done locally in wheat since the commence ment of the Jubilee holidays. A.consider able number of small parcels are on offer, but millers and merchants do not seem in clined to operate at present prices, while holders are firm ia their ideas of value. At the auction sale on Thursday buyers mani fested a considerable a-nount of apathy, and vendors' reserves were in several cases no; reached. In Dunedin the holidays a'<o interfered with business, and only a few dales have recently been effected on a basis of 43 4d to 4s 6d for prime velvet, and 4= 2d to 4s 5d for other descriptions of milling wheat. Oats have weakened considerably in Mel bourne, and feeding are now quoted at 2* 3d to 2-1 4£d and seeding 2s 6d, a fall of fully Sd within the laab two weeks. New Zealand oats in Sydney are quoted at 2a Sd to 2s 6d for prime, 2a 4d for medium, and 2* 6d tor seeding, a decrease of Id since the previous advice. The business passing in oats in Christ" church is of a hand to mouth character, and no transactions of any importance have been reported. Oats are decidedly easier in Dunedin, the large quantities that have been placed on the Sydney market having caused * a cessation of importations from New Zea land ; prime milling are quoted at 2s 4d to 2s 5d and best feed at 2s Id to 2* 3d. Potatoes are soarcely so firm, the offerings being more free than of late. Auckland quotations are £4 to £4 10s, and Sydney {New Zealand g own) £3 sa. There is little business doing in oatshe&f chaff, though growers are not inclined to accept lower prices as they hope for an improved demand later on when the weather breaks. A general enquiry is now setting in for grass Beeds for spring sowing. Onions are without quotable change. Auckland prices are £7 to £8 for southern grown, while New Zealand are selling at £7 fco £7 10a ia Sydney. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, held their usual monthly grain auction sale on Thursday afternoon, when some 2500 sacks of produce were dialogued. There was a good at tendance of buyers, but there was a lack of spirit in the bidding, especially in bhe case of the larger lines of oats and chaS. Prices realised were as follows :•—Good milling wheat 5s lid to 4s Id ; 4s 2d waa bid for a small line of superior, pearl wheat, but no eale resulted as the owner's reserve was not reached. Whole fowl wheat, 3H6d to 3s 8d; broken and small seconds, 2s 4d to 3s; oats, fair to good feed, 2g 3d to 2a 6d ; oats, clean milling, 2s 7d;. barley, feed, 2s 101 to Zs 2^d ; oat sheaf and oat straw chaff elicited no adequate competition; potatoes, good table Derwenta, 50a to 555, sacks in. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.0.b., Lytteiton, for direct ship ment from coiii.try stations and free of commission :—

QAMJOJEB, &Soiis Eucalypti Extrac There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may nofc be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTBAOT, 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:— Is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Grcifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at i Bon, and Professor Dr Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adnerent to primary distillation, will develops the sanativa qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and aceoriing to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer Mclntire, Woo;}, Hazard, etc., of America, is tha ouly extract corresponding to scientific teat -, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value.



"THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." f 11HE above heading has no reference to _l_ gambling whatever, either in the way of playing a quiet game of whist for penny pointa and threepence on the rub, or of wagering a pair of four-button gloves on the four-oared senior outrigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Gibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follow.* :— " Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, smile-soothing, heart-open s'ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose " glorious relish I owe the happiest " momenta of my life, let me fall " prostrate.' This invocation was somewhat high-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when they relsct on the health, economy, comfort, and" satisfaction which has been their lot since StJRATCTRA Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Surattjra holds its high reputation because ita " Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is not blended with India or China teas ; and the gardens where it is produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone. Bence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA,



Sander <fc Son's Eucalypti Extract. All other crude oils are to be classed among the uirpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti c Extract Which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as K>mmercial articles are used for mechanical purposes jreo ly (.isceruibie. By their deficiency in (undgcnt oudour—which oar product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract? develops most freely through its surplus oxygen By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and ten nates.
