Mr David Thomas reports upon the I've stock market m the Asnburton district for the week endißg March 2 : —On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards, the usual weekly sale ' was held. There was a good attendance of farmers, dealers, and others, besides several outside buyers. Biddings were very dull, making the sale drag throughout, and a large bulk of the entry was turned out. The con tinued drynesß of the weather is making f aimers and grazers very shy, and although a large number of sheep are wanted m various parts of the district, everybody is waiting for rain. The bulk of the entry consisted of breeding ewep, but owing to their poorness of condition buyers were not keen to operate except at very low values. Some fair lots of lambs came forward, bub for those sold prices below those ruling at recent saleß had to be accepted. Boilers were conspicuous by their absence, and the factories would not operate, therefore » drop of 6d had to be contended with. Thn totals for the day con sisted of 10,489 sheep, 36 head of cattle, and 16 pigs, of which my entry comprised 4676 sheep, 15 head of cattle, and 16 pigs ; besides 2500 crossbred ewes offered m con* junction with Messrs Friedlanderßros., Ltd.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion 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 Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple ■distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order, that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government 0 be of perfectly pure origin, as per information 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, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor 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 ds reainouß and other Bubstancoß, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All orude oils, or so called fiuoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned longr sinoe an an nternal adicament. These orude 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 their 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 reßine and tennates. If these crude oils, so called euoalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m oases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal cflamationß, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
