There was a fair attendance . and business m the fat class s u<is brisk, but Btores of all kinds were poorly n-pre . aented. The entries for t ho day coaiMiisud ■ 6,838 sheep and lambs, 291 head of cuttle, and 395 pigs. ... Fat Cattle. - The 290 head if c t^c, whiah formed the week's supply of beef, included some very nice lir.ua of usefui beasts. Bidding was slightly better, dlI late rates were fully maintained, a good olearanoe being made. A line of nice Bteers from the North Island was withdrawn at £8 17b 6d. The prices ruling were : — Good ateers £7 to £8, a Dumber of n. fu> sorts bringing from £5 10s to £6 10s aud lighter aorl.B £3 10a to £5 ; heifers £3 10s to £7 7a 6d ; and cows £3 to £5 2 61. Store Cattle — Stores and dairy cattle tyere very poorly reprereuted, and very little business was done. Fat Sheep. — The yarding of fab aheap was considerably smaller than the previous week, and the quality was very mixed. A few Hneß of really well finished freezers showed a slighb advance, but coarse sorts were not 30 much sought af ler. Good eweß sold well, and several line 3 were taken for freeaing, for second quality mutton, owing to the ocaroity of webhers. Half finished sheep *nd inferior sorts were easier. Heavy wethers 17s 3d to 18a, prime freezers 15s to 17s 2d, unfinished and small wethers 12s to 143 6d, heavy crossbred ewes 143 to 16s 6d, medium 11s to 13s 6d, inferior down to 6s 6d ; merino wethers 7s lid to 10a 6d. Fat Lambs. — These oame forward m smaller numbers, but only the better olasaea held their own, freezing sorts Belling at from 9i to 12b 9d, and others from 6s 6d to 8a 6i. STORB Sheep.— The few store sheep entered were all poor, and did nob meet much competition. Light wethers and maiden ewes brought from 8s 6d to 9s lOd, good crossbred ewes m lamb 7s lid to 9s 6d, aged 3a 5d to 5s 3d, and merino owes 4s Id. Figs. — There was a fairly large entry of pigs, and bidding, except for anything prime, ww slightly easier. For anything choice m baconers and porkers 4|d per lb was obtained, but the bulk sold at from 4d to 4£d. Per head — baooners ran from 32s to 6Q» 6d, porkers 20a 6d to 30a, Btores 15a to 23j, weaners 10a to 14a, and suokera 7a 6d to 9s 6a.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Contral-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extraot the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul 'at Melbourne, March 2,1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of tb.B Universities at Bonn and Greifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor f Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mosßier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other Bubstancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the ■.anative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : . 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of rosins and tennatea. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most app&llin^r.
