CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

I-ress, There is still nothing to record m the wheat market, a^ buyers and sellers have not vet agreed upon a basis of operations. Oats are being more spuringly offeied, and m consequence are ft shade firmer. A few small sales have been effected at 2a to 2* o£d at country sections, ami a nico oven line of 1200 bushels of duns has changed hands at Is lid at Kirwee, but sellers are now in clined to ask a littlo more. A line of 600 bushels of good malting barley has been placed at 4s 6i, delivered at Chris:church, and another line of 600 to 700 bushels of prime seeding at ss, alao delivered m town. Kysgrass and cocksfoots continue to bo m demand • .

Messrs Friedlanderßios., Ltd., report thab At the weekly stock sale held last Tuesday at Ashburton^ there waa yarded a total of 10,936 sheep, 3 iams, 30 cattle, and 3 pigs, The entry of sheep was composed chiefly of old ewes and lambs, some pens of wethera and breeding ewea making up the number. Competition for lambs was not so spirited as At the previous week's sale, but moßt lots eutered were sold, either at the hammer or privately, at prices below those ruling lately. For really good forward wetherß there was some demand, but middling and inferior sorts were not enquired for. Best lambs made from 7s 4d to 8a 2d, medium 53 to 7s 2J, and cullb and inferior sorts 2s 6d to 5a ; wethers -6a 9d to 9s 3d.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live atook market m the Ashburton county for the week ending, February 16: —On Tues day, at the Ashburton yards, the uaual weekly aale was held. The attendance was much above the average of late sales, and several outsiders took a keen interest m the sale. The tone of the markeb was nob over brisk, owing no doubt to the large entry that came forward, and buyers were not m a hurry to purchase. When a good line of lambs were offered it could be plainly seen that buyers were there m quest of forward lots to finish off with what fresh pastures they have. Several lines of wethers yarded came m for fair competition, and others would have sold readily had they been there. Backward lambs were slightly easier, com paring this market with the week previous, and m some cases had to be passed ; bub taking the sale throughout a very satisfac tory clearance was made. The entry for the day consisted of 10,936 sheep ; 30 head of cattle, and three pigs, of which my entry comprised 5108 sheep, 19 head of cattle, and 3 pigs. I succeeded m placing tbe whole of my entry but two lots, at the following prices :—Sheep —4 fat croasbreds, 6s 4d ;12 tuc crossbred ewes, 6s 4d ; 35 fat crossbred ewes, 43 9.1; 12 fat crosobreds, 4s 61; 20 fat croasbreds, 3b 6'd ; 30 fat crossbred ewes, 83 Id ; 25 fat crossbred ewes, 53 3d ; 7 fat merino ewes, 4j 8d ; 27 crossbred ewes, 2a lOd ; 23 fat crossbred ewes, 8s Id ; 24 cross bred ewes, 4? 9d ; 20 cros-tbred ewes, 4a 8d ; 5 lambs, 2a 91; 45 croßhbred ewes, Is 41; 241 lambs, 4s ;15 lambs, 33 9-1; 100 lambs, 7s 21 ; 140 lamb 3, 6?; 16 lambs, 2s 4d ; 130 lambs, 7a 6d ; 116 crossbred ewes, Is 6d ; 107 two-tooth crossbreds ewes and weathers, 9a 5d ; 134 lambs, 4a lid ; 65 Jambs, 7s 4d ; 104 lambs, 5s 6d ; 331 halfbred wethers, 6a 9d ; 178 lamba, 5s ; 71 crossbred ewes, la 2 I ; 158 lambs, 4s 9d; 152 lamba, 2* 6d ; 140 lambs, 43 lid ; 197 merino ewi*s, la; 61 crossbred ewea, 3s lid: 324 crossbred ewes, Is lOd ;59 lamba, 3i; 48 two-tooths, 33 8d ; 61 merino eweß, 6i ; 113 crossbred ewes, lOd.

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Chrtstohukch, February 14 There were very good entries m mosb classes of stock at Addington market to day, and the attendance was large. Busi ness was good, the improved prospects for feed, owing to the late rains, causing a better demand for store stock. The entries for the r day comprised 15,640 Bheep and lambs, 314 head of cattle, and 253 pigs. Fat Cattle — The one hundred and fifty head of fat cattle was made up mostly of light-weight heifers and cows, with a few fair steers. BiddiDg was brisk, and a very good clearance was made, Rates per 1001 b remained the same. Steers brought from £4 to £7, heifers £3 15s to £5 ss, and cows £2 12s 9d to £5. Stokb Cattle.— A large mixed entry of store cattle met an improved sale. Dry cows 103 to £3 108, three-year-old heifers £3 12 6d, eighteen months to two year old steers £1 10s to £2 17s 6d, eighteen-month old heifers £1 12s, yearlings 13a to 203. Fat Sheep. — There was a good entry of fat sheep, including some very nice cross bred wethers, and a larger proportion than usual of good young ewes. Anything fit for export met good competition. Buyers were apparently anxious to secure sheep, and both wethers and maiden ewes were m demand. During the greater part of the sale ewes of all classes Bold well, but towards the end i poorer sorts eased off considerably. Heavy j weight crossbred wethers brought up to 13s Id, freezing quality 10a 6d to 12s Bd, lighter sorts 8a 7d to 10s, maiden ewes 9s 6d to lis 6d, good youug ewes 9 6d to lis 6d, good young ewes 7a to 10a 6d, aged ewes 4b 9d to 6s 6d, merino wethers 4. lid and sa, and ewes 3s 6d to 5s lOd. Fat Lambs. — Fat lambs came to hand m much smaller numbers, but the quality all round was not up to export standard. The demand was rather sUck and the average price was 10a 3d, at which a good line of 300 was taken, but extra good brought lis Id, whilst unfinished sorts sold at as low as 6a 6d. Freezing lambs may be quoted at 8s 8J to 10s 6_, butchere' 7s to 8a 6d. Store Sheep. —The yarding of store sheep was the largest for some time. Anything forward was eagerly sought after, but ro improvement was shown m prices for back ward lamba. Aline of 640 four-tooth wathers ftom Glenmark brought 10a 4d to 10s 6.1, and soveral small lots 9a 6d to 10a 3d, 150 going at 9a 4d. Small lots of wethers aud maiden ewes Bold at from 9a to 9j 6d. A line of 695 backward mixed two-tooths sold at 7s lOd and 7s lid, 344 two-tooth ewes at 6s 7d, 366 full-mouthed at _ 2d, and other little lots at 3* 10 5* Bd. Small lots of good lambs sokl at from 6s to 7s 3d, 200 at 5s lid, 114 at 53 Bd, 126 at 4a lid, 500 at 4a 8d to 4a lid, 348 and 250 at 4s 9d, 370 at 4s Bd, and small lots of very backward at from 2a 9J to 41. Pigs. — Fat pigs were rather Bcarce, but the quality was good and an exceeding'y good sale resulted, baconers and porkers I rea'.isiag 4d to 4J_d per lb, the price of/ porkers being increased by a number being taken for stores. Baconers brought from 35a 6d to 575, porkers 20s to 20a, stores 13a to 16s 6d, and up to 37a for extra large, weaners 9s 6d to 12s 6d.

opal Mim<; Tho annual general meeting of the Record Reign Opal Mining Company, Limited, was heU on Tuesday evening at the Arcade Chambers. MrH. Zander, Chihmau of Direc- tors, presided, und there were about twenty shareholders jjtesenr. The Chai<man rtejpihi'ated the work • done during the year, and regretted that he could not give the shareholders better news. Ttu'.y a 1 knew Lha' the Directors did their best, und i hat the disappearance of the stone when Mr Wilson wa> there, sotOßpeak, ruineo the prospects of the Company. At any rate it is now amply proved that the gr< und is opal bearing, and ie remained f >r the shareholder to deoide whether they would make a voluntary subscription of 3a per sha'e, or case work. The Chairman informed the meeting that out of 1845 shares isßued, 831 had paid up the 3s per share ; but unless it were unanimous the work could not proceed. After a long debate it was decided to sell the while assets of the Company as speedily as possible, Messrs D. Thomas and J. C. Duncan were elected Directors, and Messrs Stephens and Niool auditors At a subsequent meeting of Directors Mr H. Zander was re-elected Chairman. SANDEK & »o**s JEnca- lypti Extract.

Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at ; j Greifswald, that only products that are s | saturated with oxygen and freed of da ; resinous and other substanoos, adherent to 1 primary distillation, will • develope the 3 i sanative qualities proper to the plant ; J All crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extraots , ; are to be classed according to the named - authorities, among the turpentines, which a are abandoned long since as an nternal i ' adicament. These crude oils, or so called I i Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : ■ 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — I which our product, the only genuine , Eucalypti Extract develops most freely c through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- -1 ance being reduced m speoifio density 3 through the presence- of acids. I By their taste, the result of the contracting 3 tendency of resioe and tennates. r If these crude oils, so called eucalypb , extracts, are applied hy mistake m oases of i croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal f uflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- . sequences are most appalling.
