ADD7NGTON STOCK MARKET. (Thrtstohuroh, January 26. (The entries m all classes of stock were email t»t, l.l>e Addineton yards a* d the atten dance bi-luvv the aveiage. Bu-iness through out lacked animatiou, The entries for the day were 8693 sht-ep, 297 head of cattle, and 239 pig?. Fat Cattle —Of 175 hea.d of cattle, only two-thirds were for sale by auction. These included some very n ; ce useful steers. Heifers were all light weights, and cowi a very mixed lot Competition was very weak. Prices per lOOIba were without alteration. Prices per head for steers ran from £4 153 to £7 17s 6d, heifers £3 to £5 7s 6d, and cows £2 15s to £6 9s 6d for an extra good one. Store Cattle.— Only a few stores entered the bulk being dry cows, with a couple of pens of weedy yearlings, and a pen of good three-year-old steers. The latter were the only class m which there was any oom petition, and they were withdrawn at £3 15b. Fat Shbbp.— The yarding of fat sheep was email, but nevertheless more thau sufficient for requirements. The sale wad most irregular all through, and although a few of the best about held their own, the majority met a falling market. Towards the end a good many were withdrawn. Cross bred wethers from 11s to 12s 3d, good young ewes 7s 6d to 93 lid, fall mouthed 5s to 6a 6d, and aged 3s to 4b 6d. Fat Lambs— About 2500 lambs were m the fat pens, but again a large proportion were only good stores or unfinished sorts. Freezing buyers showed great apathy, and the best price obtained was 11s for one line. Slight weakness all through the sale, but a fair trade m lambs for butchers' purposes. Good quality lambs brdught from 9a to lla, medium lambs for the butcher 7s to 8a 9d, poorer aorta 5s to 6s 6d, and backward lots from 43 to s*. Stotie Sheep— Many ehaep m the store pens, the bulk being lambs. The demand m all c'aseea was weak, owing to the scarcity of feed. Crossbred wethers brought 7s 6d to 83 63, wethers and maiden ewes 6s 9d, ewes 2< 9d to 4.* lid, and boilers Is to Is lid. Forward lambs 5s to 7s Id, and culls and backward sorts 2s 2d to 4s 6d. Pios — A medium entry of pigs was mostly of the larger sorts. Competition was fair, and prices for baconers and porkerß (viz , 3£d and 3f I per lb) remain the same. Per head baconers brought 32s to 47a 6d, porkers 19* 6d to 30?, good stores 16a to 265, suckers

Besides a large quantity of useful information concerning Government, Rail way, and Post and Telegraph offices, there are odds and ends of matters which make the little volume a regular encyclopedia of useful knowledge.

For here we have fs-bulated information re money orders, telegraphic and cab'e rates, reidy reckoner, and various weight and money tabes, and there are all sorts of valuable hints to house* keeper?, farmers, and others. Not the least striking features of this almanac are a neat cash book and a very convenient diary of household expenses. The book contains a few illustrations of the Royal family, Lord JKanfurly, etc., and a number of advertise men's of local business men, which will enable the possessors of this very convenient almanac to find m a moment where they can buy any artie'e they can possibly require, or where to go if they want any business transacted for them, or any service done.

i n Hollow ay's Ointment and Pills are be- yond all doubt the most valuable and most convenient medicines that travellers can take across the seas to distant clinics, for change of climate and the new conditions and surroundings of life to which they will be exposed will assuredly give rise to great disturbances of the system and to auch especial morbid states of the blood and .constitution generally as will render the uae of these effectual remedies highly necessary, for they will find m them a ready and safe meanß of relief m most of the diseases which Bfflict the human rac?, and with them at hand they may be said to have a physician always at their call.
