Press.

Daring the past few days one or two small lots of wheat have changed hands at current quotations, but generally busiaeaa m this cereal is very quiet. The chief item of interest m the market on Tuesday was the news of the arrival m Auckland of 1000 sacks of wheat from Sydney for the Northern Boiler Mills, and ib is further reported that their order amounts to 20,000 or 30,000 sacks. There is still a fair outside enquiry for barley, and an extra prime line has been placed at 4s 9d, f.o.b. Seed oats are being atiked for, but there are few of this description on offer. Potatoes are firmer, and 50s is now being given, while for immediate requirements 55s has been paid. Onions have advanced to £4 ss. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.0.b., Lyttelton, for direob ship ment from country stations and free of commission : —

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

CttBisTOHUBOH, March 30. Cntries m nearly all classes were smaller than at the previous sale ad Addington, and business throughout, except m fat cheep, was of an unsatisfactory nature for vendors Tho entries for the day comprised 16,184 sheep and lambs, 388 head of cattle, and 795 pigs.

Fat Oattiiß— Out of 190 head of fat cattle 50 were m dealers' hands, tho bulk good useful Borts with a pen or two of prime steers. There waa little or no competition, and a considerable fall on late rates was experienced, cow beef suffering moat. Prime steera brought £6 to £8 2s 6d, inferior and secondary £3 12a 6i to £5, good heifera £4 lOi to £6, and smaller £2 17a 6d to £4, good cows £4 to £5 12j 6.1, and others £2 7a 6.1 to £3 15?. At per 1001 b, beef ruled from 15a to 16s 6d for prime, 12* to 14a for good, and from 7s 6d to lls for inferior and cow sorts. Store Cattle— The pens were filled with Btnall mixed lote, and there was no competi tion. I

Fat Sheep.— The yarding of fab sheep waa large and included some very good lines of wethers and ewes. The sale for any thing approaching free zing quality waa very good, and exporters and butchers were m competi'ion for all the better lots. Freezing wethers quite held their own, and the better classes of trade ewes showed an advance of Is to 2i per head and eveu secondary quality ewes met a better demand. The prices realised were best crosnbred wethers 13a 6d to J4a Id, Ef cmdary 10a to 12s, best maiden ewes 11s to 15s 4rf, secondary 7< 9J to 10a 6.J, best mixed sexes lls to 133 6d, secondary I 8i 6d to 10i 6f', best ewes 9a to lie 9d, good 7a to 8i 6d, and inferior and secondary sorts 3s 7J to 63 sd, merino wolhers 2a 3d to 3a. Fat Lajibs — These again came forward m large numbers and chere was little life m the sale, buyers for export not appeari&f very anxious to secure supplies A nioe Ik- «,' of nearly 500 from Sir John Hall's eabail \ was taken at 10a 4id, and (his wrb ar ou ? the top prico (with the exception 10a 9/' taioed for a little lot) freezing sorts. 8 ollini» down to 9a, good butchers' lambs. fc a * o 0° 61, backward lota (of which th'. r e J™ « large uumher) down to 3s 6J. a

More Siie'SP were represented by much smaller entries than of ljtto» and the bulk were odd lots, there being an abßenoe of really good straight lines, while the qualitw' throughout was inferior. The sheep showed •Igns of suffdring from the dry weather and continued BOAroity of feed, and the advent of J frwi m»d? formero lesi inclined tp on ernta

than ever, and the few which changed hands either went for boiling down or to dealers. A few little lots of forward wethers brought from 8* to 10s 9d according to con dition, backward wethers 5a lOd to 6a 6d, halibred maiden ewes for tnrnips 6a to 6j Bci, and forward four-tooth 7s 5d to 7a 9J, two-tooth breeding ewes 2i 6d, four and six tooth 33 lid to 4a 9J, sound mouthed 2a 6d to 33 Id, crossbred boilers Is 4d to la lid, merino l~2d to Is 6d, pure bred four-tooth Lincoln ewes 12a, aud hoggets 8s 9d. Store ! lambs 29 6d to 53 9.1. A line of 650 two tooth wethers from the Bouth were with drawn at 6s 9J, aud a line of 1265 sound i mouthed halfbred ewes from Marlborough [ at 4s.

Pigs. — The pig yards were again taxed to (.heir utmost capacity. Baconers were slightly easier, prices ranging from 4d to 4£d per lb, and porkers from 4d to 4£d. Good storea quite held their own, but the supply of smaller sorts was ia excess of the demand, and several lots were passed. Per head Baconers ran from 32s 6d to 555, porkers 203 to 32^, stores 16a to 25a, and small pigs 43 to 12s.

SAISI>EH* Sc Sons Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Olinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extraot m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medioal division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the I Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we I tate:— I It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics [ of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only produots that are saturated with oxygen and freed of di resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant Ml crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned - long since as an . nternal udioament. Theße crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
