ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

United Press Association— By Eleotrio Telegraph OHBISTOHUBOH, August 3 tThe entriea at Addington market to-day comprised 11,874 sheep, 245 head of oattle, and 201 pigs. The attendance was large and representative, and business m the better classes of fat stock was brisk, but m the other departments the sale dragged a good deal. . Fat CATTLE.— The fab cattle comprised aome splendid exhibition consignments, m view of the Grand National week, and these met very keen competition, a few of the bullooka bringing from £10 to £15 10s. and aome very prime heifers £7 10a to £8 7s 6d. (These were fully 22s 6d per 1001 b. The rest of the entry waa made np of good useful oattle, and all classes aold well, good^ to prime beef ranging ftom 17s 6d to 20s, medium 14a to 16a, and cow and inferior 12a to 13a 6d. Per head, good steers ran from £5 10a to £8 17s 6d, prime heifers £7 to £8 7a 6d, ordinary sorts £3 15a to £6 17a 6d, «nd cows £2 15 ito £7 15a. Stobe Cattle.— The few stores ia were all old cows, and were taken for preserving, while dairies were a very poor lot and hard to aell at np to £5. . , , _, Fat Sheep. — The fat sheep included some exhibition consignments, for which butchers competed very keenly. One pen of Shrop shire Down two-tooth wethers reached 50a, and penß of crossbred we: hers of same class ran from 20a to 28s 6d. 3est fretzers met a fair aale, but buyera did not aeem aoxious to srcure consignments, and secondary aorta, of which there were too many, weakened to the extent of Is 6d to 2a per head, and several lota were with drawn. Only very prime ewea were much sought after by butchers, and medium and inferior aorta suffered a drop of nearly 2s per head. Beßt freezers ran 16s to 17s' 6d, secondary 13a 6d to 14s 6d, and unfinished wethera 9a to lis 6d Prime heavy weight butchers' ewes 14. to 17s, secondary 10s 6i to 12s 6d, inferior 8a 6d to 9i 6d. Only a Bms.ll lob of fat hoggets were on offer, with little demand. A few very prime brought 12. 6d. good freezers 9j to lis, butchers' sorts 6. 9d to Bs. Store Sheep. — Some very good lines of stores were on offer, including good breeding ewea and forward wethers. Both of these classes met fair demand, but backward and inferior sorts were neglected. Forward two-tooth wethers fetched 13s, backward 9s 7d, two and four-tooth wethers IG<, two- , tooth mixed sexes 10s, good 'ung^t. 89, backward 6s lOd, full mouthed ewea m lamb 8s ld to 8s 3d, four and six tooth 10a 3d. Pigs. — There was a small entry of pigs, including good lines of baconerß and porkers, whioh sold readily at 34. to 643 for bacon, 20s to 32s 6d for porkers, while stores realised 11a 6d to 17s 6d.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per oommunioa ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Oonsul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Olinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRAOT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfeotly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Conaul at Molbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate ;•— It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of tbe Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr, Sobulz.Profeasor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancoß, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude ods, or so oalled Eucalypti Extracta are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, whioh ire abandoned long sinoe aa an nternal adiaament. Theae crude oils, or ao oalled Euoalypti Extraots, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — whioh our produot, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin and mobile appear anoe being reduoed m speoifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the oontraoting tendenoy of resins and tennates. If theße orude oils, so-called euoalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con sequences are most appalling.

" ■ *»■ Speech by the Premier. The New Guinea Syndicate. United Press Association -By Eleotrio Telegraph —Copy righ t. Bbisbanb, August 2 Speaking to the .Address-iu-lleply, the Premier said the Government in tended to establish a fast mail service ] between Gladstone and the North. The Government would build the steamers themselves, and would pre sently begin to fill up the gaps m •*> railway service by such at** " c Personally he hoped the O amers. would not have to do government than be hampered ' so, Dufc rather binations, tb' oy rings and corn added tb"' would do so. He men* ' -g perhaps m the next Parlia * .„ the people would be called upon to express their opinion on federation; In future Japanese will not be allowed to land without the consent of Queens land, In regard to the New Guinea Syndicate, he said there had been under-hand work m that connection, fie had conferred with tbe Syndicate at Jubilee time and told them it would be necessary to get the consent of the Administrator of New Guinea, after tbat the approval of the three contri buting colonies, and then the approval of the Imperial Government. He was not aware until he became Ohief Secretary that the ordinance had been adopted. He did not approve of it. The ordinance bad never been sub mitted to the Queensland Government, and the Government, if necessary, would instruct the Agent-General to return the £1000 deposit received from the syndicate. He considered Mr Chamberlain's statement, that rejection of the ordinance would be a breach of faith, was an improper one. If blame was attachable to Queensland Mr Chamberlain should also blame his own official, Sir W McGregor. Toe Government would press the matter home to its fullest conclusions. M r Chamberlain would be indiscreet if he forced the matter, as the Imperial Government had declined to contribute to the administration of the island after the expiration of the present agreement. Mr Byrnes was satisfied that the triple coutrol could not continue. Either Now Guinea rouafc become a Crown colony or must be annexed by Q icensland and held until the Federa tion of Australia was consummated.
