The markeb to-«l*y afe Addington was a d üble one, as there will ba no sale at fchf.se ■oardH next week, ™ account of the holidays. Entries were large m all t,ho fat cl&Bses, and the attendance was much above the averaee, including a number of farmers and graziers from outside Canterbury. Business was brisk, but owing to the large yardinga it waa late when the market w*s over. Fat Cattle— The 202 head of fat cattle were nearly all good to prime sorts, and con sidering the large supply a very gnod sale resulted, bidding being ppinted naht through, and last week's values were f nlly maintained— viz , from 22<* to 25s per 1001 b for prime good, 17s to 20a for other*, down to 15a.

Fat Sheep.— A large yarding of tat sheep included a great many shorn lots. The qnality all through was scarcely as good as w generally Been at the market before the show, although there were some very well finiahed pens. Nearly all the sheep came from Canterbury, there being very few southern lotß on offer. All classes sold well and showed a further rise, this being espeeia'ly the case with shorn sheep. Nearly a^l were taken by butchers, prices being too high for exporters. Prime woolly wetherß brought 17s to 193, and extra good 21a to 28s • medium Borts, 15a 9d to 163 61 ; inferior down to 13* 6rt ; hoggets 14s to 18* ; woolly ewes 14s to 18a ; best Bhorn wethers 13s Id to 16a ; others 10a 6d to 12s ; best shorn eves 13a to'ls* 9d ; others 83 94 to 123 93 ; meri-o wethers 15* 10d to 17s 3d ; and ewes 16s sd.

The Sudden Death at Wellington

United Press Association— By Electric

Telegraph — Copyright;

Wellington, November 1

Ac the inquest on Me Hulke, the Coroner stated that an adjournment woukl probably bo necessary for an analysis of the stomach, as the medical testimony might not be con clusive. A letter was produced thanking the School Committee for the courteßy always shown to the deceased, and present ing the school with all map?, etc., belonging to him, and teacliera with the books lent to them.

Several witnesses gave evidence as to statement 8 made by the deceased, which might imply either a presentment of coming deabh or a suicidal interior. Dc Trlpp, who made a post mortem examination of the lungs and heart of the deceased, s. id there was no sign of irritant poison, a<vl lv would Bay that death was due lo failure of the heart from diseased heart aud lungs. A person m Mr Hulke's condition mijjht go off at any time. The evidence of Mr Davidson, one of the intimate friends of deceased, showed he had frequently mado uee m wit jitßs'a hearing of the expression "'When 1 go, I'll go very quickly.* I won't trouble anyone with long illneB8." A few weeks ago he remarked that be felt he was breakiug up and that hia heart was fir gone. The mistress of the Newtown Sohool de posed that deceased had often said he would never go through a long illness. For years he had said this, not particularly of Jate. He said he would "do away with himself rather than have people bothering about him man illness." Only last week he said thai " J;he first day he did not come to school they would know he was dead." He was eccentric, and always worried a great deal about small matters. Another of the teachers gave evidence that last Wednesday deceased said he wanted to see the examina tion over, and " that he had a presentment he was was going to die." He had frequently hinted that he would hasten hia own end, and said he had something at home which would help him away. Dr Tripe eaid all the appearances pointed to death from natural causes. He did not think analysis of the stomach would clear the matter up. The irquast was adjourned till Saturday to allow an analysis of the stomach to be made.

I Stud Notices THE PUREBKED CLYDJ SDALE STALLION, King* of Quality, WILL feTASD at Owner's Farm, Willowby, nv.A Travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Ashb; ; rN>n Forks, and Wcslor- fi Id Districts. Will be ah Kewaja-.'s iSiablv-8 t very Sat'rcUy. King of Quality is <\ dauplo bay, rising six yea s old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. Ho ia a colt of gri^ib tubetanco and power, wiih maiy points to recotn mend him to a breeder ; haa splendid feet and pasterns, also great bone, cl^an and flowing, with n ! ce sliky hair — tho true btidge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good ttmper, and , sound constitution. His Bire ia Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyie (25fi7 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Walps (673, vol i), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-ye »r-old, firat afc Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of hla pro- geny. Lion Kiig's dam Sotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shawn In New Zaaland four times, gaining firab and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S0 S B), grand tire Ivanhoe Ist (Imported ; 113, NZ S B). He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Qae n of Quality, (608, N Z S B) show yard career ia so well and favorably known to breeders, ,thafc it Is needless to go into details; suffice it to cay, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others ahe was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunediu. This career j has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence ; her sire is the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the Rhow ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize afc Taieri show and second at j Dunedin. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of priz>takh;g Clydes- , dale blood, and cannot fail to make a n.me for himself as a siro. Has proved himself m this district as a sure foal getter. Terms :— Guarantee —£4 4s. Season mares, £3 3a. Groomage fee, ss. All mares changiug hand*, first owners held responsible.

Still more recently a man m South London was atttacked by indiges- tion.
