The entry was made up of about 4300 skins m the various yards, and the following are a few of the prices : — Farmers' dry crosebrede, 2a 6d, 3a 3d, 3% 91, fls, 4-> 3d • merino, la 33, Is 9J, Is lid, 23 3d, 3s 2.1, 3s 8d ; pelts and torn skins 81, Is, to Is 9vl ; butchers' cross breds, 3s 7d, 4s 3d, 4s 7d, tc 5s ; merino, 2s 6d, 3s 3d, 3s 9J, 4s ; and one line of dry croasbred skins 51 per lb.

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

United Preas Association—By Electric Telegraph. Ghristohubch, August 31 The entries m all classes of stock at Addicgton to-day were email, and the attendance was only an average one. A good deal of both the fat and store sock was of inferior qiality, and with the present acarcity of feed, business m b th store shepp and cattle was slack. Tho entries for the - day were 6814 sheep, 502 head of cattle, and 243 pigs Fat Cattle — The yarding of fat cattle c minted of only 147 head, of which 28 were from the west coast of the North Island. (Eheße were scarcely as good as those offers 1 last week, and a good many of them showed eigna of having been knocked about on board ship. Some twenty of the best brought from £9 12s 6d to £11 17a 6d, the rest being passed. With the exception cf a couple of chow bullocks sent m by Mr H. Gmforth, the bulk. of the local cattle were of inferior quality. Mr Garfer h's second priz; bullock m the all-aged class at the last Metropolitan Show brought £14, at d hia first priz3 steer m the two-year-old c'ass £13. Tho better classes of cattle met fair competition, but anything that was not; prime was neglected. Extra prime beef, per 100 b, brought up to 255, prime 22* to 24- 61, good 16s 6i to 20a, and cow and inferior 13s 6 1 to 15-i 6 1. Per head, good to prime steers sold at. from £8 to £9 15?, ordinary £5 153 to £7, good to prime heifers £7 to £8 10s, ordii arv £3 17s 6ri to £6 10-, cows £3 15s to £5 15^. FTOKE CATTLE — The yardirg of store cattle was the largest for a loDg time, bat the majority were very weedy sorts, show ing eigns cf having been ste.rved. These includtd a mixed line of 150 head which had been travelled up from the South Canter bury dißtric\ the bulk of them faili g to find buyers. A few really good three-year-olds, mixed, bronght £3 1$ bd, fair two-year-old ,steerß £2 6i. eighteen months-old, mixed, 235, steers Ida, yearlings 13i to 25 J , and calves 6s to 10s. Fat Sheep — The yarding of fat sheep was not co large as of late, and the quality was very mix"). There wera very f.-w really good fr-uz : ng shf^p. and with th* unsatisfactory mWd from Hi me buyers for export were holding off, and a drop of quite a shilling per head to< k place with the exception of a few of the best pena. Heavy werght butchers' sheep aho showed a decline ol fully Is to 13 6vl per head. Unfinished lines, of which there were a great number, were very hard to quit, and had it not been lor the fact that a few graziers were m want of th m they would have been hard to quit at any price. Prime heavy we : ght wethers bronght 17s to 18i 51, the latter price being reached by some North Islanders; freezeia 14s 2d to J6?, un finished lines 10s 30d to 13? 6d, heavy weight ewes 16s to 18 3d. medium sorts 12a to 15s 6d, merino wethers 10 * to 16s 9J. Stoke Sheep. — There were not many stores yarded, most of them being backward sorts and there was very little demmd. The only line that met competition wa3 that of -300 full-monthed halfbred ewes m lamb which brought lls lid, good turnip wetheis brought 103 21 io 12« 6d, backward lots of two-tcoths 6s to 9j, a line of hoggets shorn as lambs 5a 3d to 5s 6d, trerino ewes m lamb at 3s.

Pigs — Pigs of all classes were well repre sented, and any good sorts of baconers and porkeiy sold at fully 4£<J to 4£d per Ib. Prices per head were— baconers 35s to 575, porkers 21s 6d to 335, stores 15 1 6d to 27a 6d, wean era 93 to 12s.

Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged b\ Medical Olinica and Universitir-e all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the ma; kit, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oila 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 the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, , Prusßia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Profeßßor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr> Mossier, Director of the Medical 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 vanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oila, or so called Eucalypti Extraota are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long Bince as an nternal adioament. 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 tbeir alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these orude oils, Bocalled eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m casea of oronp, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are moat appalling.
