ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

United Press Association— By Eleotrlo Telegraph. Christohuroh, July 20 The yardinga m all classes of stock were moderate at the Addingto:i m irket to-day, and the fat departments inolurlci fome very good cattle and sheep. Iha attendance wan above the average, a good maiy outsiders being present, and througK-u- iki maiket was one of the best held »=eie for a long time. The entries comprised 9126 s-heep, iiti cattle, and 241 pipa. Fat Cattle — I he entry of fat catt'e consisted of 144 head, amongat which were gome very prime steers. Bidding all through was brisk, and a rise of fully Is per lOOlbs can be recorded. A line of 14 really good ■teere, from the North Island, sold at from £8 2s 6d to £9 10a. Four good steers from Mr 8. Spaiks realised £9 5», two £8, and a cow £7 6s; a nice htifer from Mr A. Chamberlain £7 15s. The range for steers was from £4 17a 6d to £9 10*, heifeis £3 15« t0£715», and cows £3 16 to £7 10b. Per 1001 b, prime beef ran from 17e 61 to 20s, good 14s to 17s, and inferior 11s to 13a 6d. Store Cattle— There waß nothing m the store pens but a few aged cows, and these were mostly taken for preserving. The dairies were also a poor lot, and met very little demand, at weaker prices. Fat Sheep— A medium yarding of fab shsep contained a fair proportion of well finished freezers and some good ewes, but there were a few unfinished lotß, whioh should have been m the store pens. The sale of fat sheep showed great animation all through. Freezing buyers and butchers Were m keen competition for all good lines, and export quality and heavy weight sheep were firmer than the previous week. Un finished lines were also better, and all sold at an advance on what some of them were withdrawn at last week, aB buyers from the country who had feed came to seoure lots for topping off, and a olearance was made. Prime heavy weight wethers 18s 4d to 19b Id ; best freeze™, 16s to 18s Id ; lighter sorts and mixed sexes, 14s tp 15s 9d ; un finished, 128 6d to 13s 6d ; maiden ewes, 13s 6d to 17s 2d, according to quality ; prime heavy weight ewes, 163 to 18s 8i ; good ewes, 13s to 15s 6d ; and inferior 10s to l? j9 6d ; merino wethers, 11s 3d to 13s, and e-# es 12s3d. Onlya limitednumber of hoggetr oame forward, and of these not many war c gj, f or freezing. The better Borts met a, good de mand at from 8s 6d to 10s 9d ao'd up to 13s for extra quality, while unfinished sorts were weak at from 6s 101 to 8?. Store Shbep. — There was only a small entry of store sheep, mostly turnip wethers and ewes m lamb. Forward turnip wethers and good ewes close to lambing sold well, bat backward sores, on accounb of the soaroity of feed, were neglected. A line oi Xi-1 good six and eight-tooth wethers brought 11s 7d ; 255 two-tooth wetherß 9= Id ; and Htole lotß of wethers from 10s to lla 6d ; a nice line of 212 crossbred ewes from the ' Peninsula brought 12s ; 334 back ward ewes m lamb 7a 3d ; smaller lots oi good sorts 8s 3d to 93 5d s and aged 5s tc 7s 6d ; a few little lots of hoggets brought 4s 4d to S3 lOd. Pigs. — There was only a small entry of pigs, the bulk of wh'ch were fats, and these were dispose i of at fully last week's gates— viz., 35s to 58s 6d for baconers, 19? 6d to 33s 6d for porkers, 9s to 163 6d fxn stores.

CONUNDRUM. XTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg?— Because it is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum, There is no Cough Medicine like ib. _ In- troduced into Canterbury only lasb winter its Bucoeas was immediate. Thousands of bottleß were sold m a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. Ib is not a catchpenny Quack Medicine. Ib is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as Fbiabs' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of ! Europe m the days of old. Fri&ra' Balaam has been used for aix hundred years for healing outs and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a speoial prooess for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GU M Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing case*. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages of the nose as Friaro' Balsam heals outs. Coughs disappear with thia inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a ohewing gum, bub a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as much as any other Cousjh Mixture m the market. It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : , Is 6d **» 2 8 6d Chemists and Stores.

To Eufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by AiiAXUM, 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 effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied nob only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. Ib does not interfere with the diet, habits or ocou- pation, and produoeß no inconvenience m its action. Ib 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 Ipublio m a^j popular form. ALAXUM CURES BilioußneßS, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveneßs, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTES THIS WJEL.L,— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the > 1 of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want o appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- dition cauaeß 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. Reaßon 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 is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exoiting them to aotivity. 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 is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Acoept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be " just as good.' , It may be better— for the dealer— because of its better profit, but; m such an instance the'dealer is not the one who needs help.
