ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Press Association— By Electric Telegraph j Uubistohuroh, March 23. j Thoro was a very large yarding ia all departments at the Aldington live stock market to-day. The attendance was uu- ÜBually large, and the entries for the di\y comprised 19,816 sheep and lamb ;, 351 head of cattle, aDd 514 pigs. Fat Cattle.— The 203 head of critic, which formed the week's supply of beef, was for the moat part light weight steers, with a fow really prime steers and heifers. Com petition throughout was very poor and the sale was a very dragging one, with anything at all inferior hard to quit. The rat-s ruling last week were barely maintained. Primo steers biought £7 to £7 12* 6d, inferior to ordinary £3 to £6, prime heiteis £6 103 to £8 2s 6d. inferior to ordinary £3 to £6, cows from £2 to £4 2s 6rl. Stork Cattle— The entry of e!orc3 was of a noudeecript, nature, aad practically no business was done. Fat Sheep.— The yarding accommodation was taxed to the utmoßt with fat aheap, the bulk good butchors 1 ewes w ith a fair sprink ling of wethers. Anything fit for freezing about held its own, but the market for whu-t waß unfinished and ewe mutton was most irregular, inferior quality meeting a dragging sale. An exhibition consignment of Mr Garforth's sheep met keen competition from local butchers, a pen of Southdown cross wethers realising 21a 6d, another 18s 6d, purebred downs fetching 14s 6d to 153. Best orosßbred wethers brought from 12s to 13s 7d, good 10s to 11s 6d, and backward down to 9s; wethers and maiden ewes 11s lOd to 12s 9d, maiden ewes 9s to 11s 7d, and a line of Shropshire down cross from the Aohray estate 11s lid. Beat crossbred ewes 7s to 8i 6d, medium 53 to 63 6d, and aged and inferior from 2s 94 to Qs 6d, late shorn merino wethers 23.

Fat Lambs.— These were more m evi dence than of late, bub the bulk was made up of unfinished sorts, a great many of which should have been m the store pens. Only sorts fit for export meb competition, and buyers of this class showed a determination nob to bid for anything not quite up to standard. All other kinds were neglected, and buyers for topping off were not much m evidence, owing to scarcity of feed. Ereez ing lambs 9s to 10j 9d, and up to 11s 3d for an extra good line ; medium sorts for trade purposes from 6s to 8a 6d, and backward eorts 33 to 5j 6.3. The principal feature of the market was the large entry of store sheep, and the dry weather which caused them to come forward m such numbers also militated against the sale, all classes suffer ing a decline, and m one or two .instances, where owners could hold, they declined to sacrifice.

Pigs.— There was again a heavy yarding of pige, including some very well finished lines, fiaconera and porkers were exceed ingly well competed for, and last week's rates were fully upheld, and m some in stances exceeded. The average price per lb was 4£cl. Good forward Btorea wero also m demand, but backward sorts and small pigs were not co much asked for. Prices prr head were : — Baconers from 35i to 625, porkers from 25j to 355, stores 20 3 to 355, and slips 6) 61 to 20*.

ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET.

The attendance was goo Jab the Tinwald Yards on Tuesday. The yarding for the day totalled 8000 sheep, 50 caitlo, and 70 pigs The sale opened as usual with the cattle, for which there wbb a fair demand, anything of good quality selling readily at from 163 to 18j per 100. For cow beef there was no demand* Heifers aold up to £4 17d 6d, and steers handy weights to £4 103. The butchers' peus were fairly well filled with ehcep, but the demand w..<3 ve;y limited, con3iq*ient!y a large portion of lha entry was phased m. A large ci.try of pig 3 cms forward, and for iheso there were rea.iy buyers, all liuca offered bsiug keenly competed for. The sale U8 regards sheep was agaia slow, and hvrgo lines of old ewes were purchased by the representatives of the vaiicua boiling down works. Stoio cattle found few buyers, and dairy cattle were hard to quit. Good crossbred wethers nnd forward Irtinb3 sold at satisfiotory prices.

J had quite given up hope of its ever leaviug me, at least or the remainder of the winter, and feared that it had become chronic, seeing that other remedies failed to give me relief, much less cure. The pain became so intense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter.

I drank contents of first bottle very freely, and am thankful to Bay m less than twelve hours I was wholly free from cough, P. S. —Nearly three months since couch



<^#J*@T X ii Vi> k A VICTIM OF j a s Functional Disease. Alovnm NEVER fails any one m \ •TUclAUlll s Uc h a predicamenb. To eufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, j Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend - m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while ÜBing it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form. ALAXUM CTOESr Biliousness, Bilious Headache,' Dizzinesß, Costivenesa, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eatiug, and all functional derangements of the jsystem of nutrition. £ NOTE TEXX© WJEJL.L,— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the or' ts of the boay may perform their functions or their work Bluggishly, thus giving rise to want) of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole* being. Such a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.', It may be better — for the dealer — because of ita better profit, but m such an instance the dealer is not the one who needs help.
