ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Christchurch, April 27

The entries of all c assea of stock, except fat sheep, were small at the Aldington market to day, but the attendance was fairly good. Business m most classes was brisk. The entries comprised 7678 shrepand lambs, 282 head of cattle, and 355 pig?. Fat Cattle were represented by 95 head, 30 of whicii were dealt with privately. Nothing very good came to auction and the Bale was most irregular. At the start there was little spirit m the biddirg tut before the close the better classes had risen fully 15a per head. Steers ran from £54 10a to £7 12a 6d per hearl, hoiferß £2 10 < to £5 12s 6d, and cowb £2 10s to £6 s*. P«.r lOOlbp, best beef ran from 15s to 17d 6d, medium to good 110 to 14s 6d, nnd inferior and cow sorts from 8s to 9s 6d.

Fat Shrep. —The entry of fat Bhef p was large, ini-lutliog some very nice Hues of freezers and some ve?y good butchers' sheep. The demand for all fat sheep was much brisker than for some time past. Buyeiß for export were not co eager to operate, on account of the block at the local factories, caused by the scarcity of freight?, and freezing sheep, although firmer, did not uhow any appreciable rise m price. Butchers' cheep, on the other hand, met with extremely keen competition, and an advanoe of from It to 28 per head took place, the principal rise being m good young ewe?. Best heavy weight wethers brought from 14b to 15s 6d, medium lOi to 13s. Maiden ewes brought from Qi to 13s 6d, according to quality, and mixed wethers and maiden ewes from 8s Gd to 13s ; good young trade ewes 9a to 12s 6d, and up to 13a 3d for a line of extra quality ; medium, 7a to. 3s 6d ; and aged (which a few weeks ago were hard to quit at 2a 6d) from 4s to 6j od ; merino ewes, 3a 6d to 6a 9J.

Fat Lambs were represented by a fairly large yarding, but there were not many really prime sorts. The. better sorts met fair competition, freezing quality selling at from 8a to 103 lOd, best trade sorts 6a to 7s 6d and inferior 4j to 5a 6d.

Stobe Sheep— There was only a. small yarding of store sheep, bub all classes, especially forward wethers, met an improved demand, and the whole entry was cleared. Forward wethers brought from 8a 9d to 9i lid, backward 7s 2d to Bs, forward mixed two-tooths, 9a Id to 10a 9d ; four, six, and eight-tooth ewes, 6a lid; two and four-tooth ewes, 53 6d ; four-tooth, 33 Id ; sound mouthed merino eweß 2s Gd, and inferior ore sabred lambs Is Id.

Pigs. — The smaller yarding of pigs waß just about sufficient for the demand, and there was a slightly improved tone m the fat section, baconers averaging 3|d per lb, and porkers 4d per lb. Baconers ran from 32-j to 583 6d, porkers 223 6d to 30a, stores 153 to 19a, weaners 7s to 12?, and suckers 33 6d to 63.

ALAXUM OURES Biliousness, Bilious Head»che,°£Dizzineaa, CostiveneßS, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition. . NOTE THIS WELL,- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the>r^ ai of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It ia a natural appetiser, and its first aotion is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* This ia common sense and cannot be gainsaidw



AlaviitYi NEVER fails any ona m X"VlclXUIIl such a predicamenb. To Eufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the beat. Its secondary effectß are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure las tit. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m ' its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the publio m a popular I form.

The pain became so intense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I procured one bottle of your Bekjamin Gum and I may say that I hadn't an atom o r faith m its curative properties, but felt that I must take something to ease the pain.
