JFtess. I

During the last few days some small lot* of new wheat have changed hauds at 3s 6d to 3i 9d at country statiouß, including a line of 700 bushels of Pearl at the higher figure. Millers have, however, stocks on hand which will Buffioe them for B ever»l weeks, and an-, therefore, not inclined to operate above the 3g6d limit. Old Tuscan wheat is get ing scarce, and is i- clined to be firmer m value. A steady, butßomewhat limited, business is dome m oat*. There is a better demand from Australia for cocksfoot than at thia time last year, and about 1300 sacks were shipped last week. Some good samples, of eplendid colour, have been offered from the North Island at lower rates than local g rowers are wking. .

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Chbistohurch. February 2. Rain, although very welcome to graziers, made matters rather unpleasant at Adding ton. Entries m all claaßes of stock were good, with more animation m business. The entries for the day comprised 9164 aheep and lambs, 304 head of cattle, and ( 240 pigs Fat Cattle — An entry of 211 fat cattle contained a few prime steers, but the bulk were light weights ; good quality heifers, mostly small ; and only a few cows. Bidding throughout was more spirited, the cooler weather causing butchers to launch ouc more freely, but there was no change m prices per lOOlba, which ran from 15s to 17s for prime beef, 13b to 14s 6d for fair to good, and 10s to 12* 6d for cow and inferior. Per head, steers £4 to £7 and up to £7 17s 6d j for extra good heifers, £3 2s 6d to £5 10a ; cows, £3 5s to £4 109. Sioek Cattle.— A small and mixed yard ing of stores contained nothing sufficiently tempting for buyerß, and no business was done. Fat Sheep.— A medium entry of f*t sheep showed an improvement m quality all round, with a few very good lines. Cross bred wethers and ewes were also better than lately. The colder weather caused butchers to compete more keenly for prime heavy wefght wethera, and these chauged hands at from 12a to 13s 6d, fret zing buyers operating freely for any suitable lines of beßt wethers. This class made 10stol2e91, the latter price being given for about 200 prime sorts from the Buccleuch EsDate. Good young ewea were m demand from 8a to 9a 7d ; older sorts too sold at from 53 to 7d ; Culverden merinos, 5s 8d to 6s lOd ; merino ewes, 3s 6d to 4s 4d. Fat Lambs.— Nearly 3000 lambs were iv the fat pens, but very few prime. Unsatis factory news from Home caused buyers for export to reduce limits, and even at a re duction of Is per head on the prices ruling a couple of weeks ago, were not keen. Good lambß fit to pass the factories brought 9a to 10s, butchers sorts 7a to 9s, unfinished taken for rape 5s to 7s. Store Sheep. — The entry of store sheep was composed for the most part of wethers, and as the rains gave promise of bringing on the turnip crops, buyers were more keen, and prices rose fully Is per head. The principal lines of wethers sold were 470 very forward four-tooths from Motonau at 9a 8d and 93 9il ; 150 eweß from the same place bringing 6b lid ; 330 four and six tooth wethers from Cheviot, 9a ; 800 two toothß from Purau, 7a and 7s 6d ; 728 four tooths from Haylunds, 8s lOd and 83 lid ; and small lots from 7a to 83 4d. But little improvement was shown m lambs, 5s Id to 5s 6d ; and boileis 8d to 2s 6d. Pigs — Small entry, mostly handy weight fats of good quality, which met a keen de mand, baconers ranging from 3£d to 3JI pet lb and porkers 4d. Per head baconers ran from 32* to 49a, porkers from 17s for 6mall to 30a for heavy, stores 153 to 30s. No email pigs on offer.

The entry comprised, for the greater part, lambs and boilers, a line of bleeding ewes and anothei of two tooth wethers making up the coial.

THE WEATHER.

The hot weather that has been prevalent throughout the colony for some weeUs came to a temporary end at least on Tuesday, when eouih-east fchowers fell during the morning and about noon a gale came up which did a considerable amount of damut;e throughout the county, stacks wholly <r 1 partially destroyed, atooks upset and crops blown about m all directions. The damage t done to fruit trees was extensive, m fact m most cases all that the late severe nor 1 westeis had left was cut off. The wind wua terriffio about noon and all through the day, and until daylight on Wednesday there w< s ' a gale blowing, accompanied by heavy 1 showers. In other parts of the colony the gales seem to have been almost as violent as iv Canterbury. The Lyttelton Times sayH that the plantations m Hagley Park suffered severely, several fine trees being torn up by the root?. During the height of the gale a large calico sign stretched on a wooden frame on the upper storey of *' The Hall," m High Street, carried away and fell on the glass verandah, smashing a number of panes, which fell on to the footpath, several paeserß by having narrow eßoapea of being hurt by the falling glaBS. In Lyttelton, the sight during the height of the storm waß very im posing. Occasionally the western break water was completely enveloped m Bpray, and the vessels at the wharves needed very careful actentiou to prevent damage. One or two of the yachts moored near the dock dragged their mooring! 1 , but were secured before any damage resulted. The storm was not. so violent at Timaru and as it seem 8 to have been north. In Wellington, according to a Press Association telegram, a violent blast came up suddenly from the couth.without any warning, bringing showers of sand and dust, which filled the streets as with a fog and drove everyone to shelter. The barometer fell ten points m five minutes. Foot passengera had some narrow escapes from flying dehris, and the roof was torn clean off a bus m Lambton Quay. A phe nomenal fall of the barometei was noticed m « Beveral places when the storm was at its [ wdret— that is, at about noon on Tuesday.

J^ lypiiExtract Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Miuister 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 Uuiversities 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 EUCALS PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per iuformatiou 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. Professor of Parmacoldgy, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Diiector of -the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substancoa, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nteinul adicament. These crude 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 resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m caßea of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the ooti- sequencea are most appalling.
