ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Christohurch, February 14

There was an average attendance at the Addington Yards, but to a iarge extent it oonsißted of those who were prevented by showery weather from prosecuting their harvest work, and with large supplies and indifferent bidding values had a disposition to weaken. The entries comprised 448 c&ttfe, 13631 sheep and 317 pigs; Fat Cattle.—ln fat cattle the entry of 214 head was chiefly made up of heifers and cows, and the yarding as a whole was of » mixed quality. Ihe demand was dull and withdrawals were large, some of the best beef being sold privately. Prime beef sold at the rate of 18a to 20s, medium 16s to 17s, and inferior from 10j per head. Steen fetobed £5 12a 6d to £8 and £9, heifers £4 2s 6d to £6 7a 6d, and oows £3 10a to £6 7s 6d, and one at £8 sa. Store cattle were a large entry, but after a few well fed lines the quality was indifferent. Tht re was a good demand for useful stock* Five years old shorthorn bullocks brought £6, tbree year old steers £5 2s 6d, three year old heifers £3 17a 6d to £4 3s, two year old heifers 555, eighteen months mixed stock 545, yearlingß 35a, *nd calves 30a to 395. Freeh oows sold at £4 6s 6d, young fattening oowe at £3 10j and old at 50s. Dairy stook were of irregular quality. Thare was fair competition and the entry was fairly cleared at 37s 6d to £6 sa, one well conditioned Jersey fetching £9 12a 6d. Sheep.—The fat sheep sale opened well, but the entry consisting mostly of ewes, competition and prices fell eff towards the finish. Wethers fetched from 14a 10*3 to 17s 7d, maid<n ewes to 15=151, butchers' primaewes 13a to 14a lid, othertj from lls, merino wether* 10s 6d to lie 6d, fab krnbe (heavy weights) 13* 6i to 13a 9J, prime freezers lls 6d to 12s 7J, others from 10a Bd. Store sheep and lambs made the largest entry of the season. The sale opened well, but buyers not being numerous bidding fell < ff, and the latter patt of the entry met a dragging demand. Pigs. —There was a large entry, especially of stores, and with limited competition prices receded all round. Prime baconera 3d per lh, porkers 3£d per head, baconerß Bold at 33a to 395, porkers 24s to 31», stores 12a 6d to 21s, weanora from 6> 6.1.

THE WESTPORT COAL COMPANY

United Press Association—By Eleotrlo Telegraph. Donedin, Feb. 14

&b the annual meeting of the Westport Co&l Company, the chairman, Hon H. J Miller, said thib the amount of woik on lenses and plant is increased by £12,238 This expenditure was absolutely necessiry in consequence of the large demand for coal The output lor the year was 327,000 tons, an incroaee of 47,000 tons on the output of 1898. This necessitated an increase in nuchinary and the purchase of hulks for Lyttelton and Auckland, which afford ad ditional storage for 3000 tons. The liabili ties have increased by £16,000, but the assets in the shape of outstanding accounts have mostly been paid. The profit for the year Bhows an increase of £1100. The de mand for coal is greater thiß year than has ever been experienced in the history of the Company, and will tax our resources to the utmost to cope with it. The outlook Is therefore hopeful. During the present month we have supplied oargo to the United States Government for Paogo-Pango, and we have good prospects of aupplyiog other foreign markets if we can put out the coal«

poisoned Terrible Feelings. Loss of Sleep. Impurities often accumulate in the blood until they produce the most dangerous symptoms of poisoning. The appetite is lost, digestion weak ened, and nerves exhausted. Mrs. F. Plynn, of Adelaide, So. Aus tralia, sends us her photograph and says: ««I used to have terrible feelings come over me The doctors could do me no good. I could not sleep, my appetite left me, and I was a most miserable woman indeed. Having read of AVERS Sarsaparflia I thought I would try it. To my great sur prise, after taking only two bottles I found myself very much better in every way. After taking six bottles all my disagreeable feelings left me, and I was completely cured. If your bowels are constipated, take Ayer's Pills. They are gentle and sure. They cure biliousness, dyspepsia, and sick headache. Take them with Ayer's Sarsaparilla; one aids the other.
