I _«^-___"" ■ ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET. ~"

The entries at the Addington market, to- I day, were 5189 fat shaep, 2000 fat lambß, and 12,000 store sheep, 587 cattle* and 333 pigs, Cattle—The 225 head of fat cattle were mostly light weight) heifers and cows with only a few steers of medium to good quality. A few prime bullocks were withdrawn at £9. The bidding was weak and late rates' were barely upheld. Good steers brought fi6 to £8 10b hghter £5 to £610s; heifers £3 17 < 6d to £6 15a; oows £5 to £7 2s 6d ; others down to £3'2s 6d. A mixed entry of store and dairy cattle met a very weak market, Sheep—The quality of the fat sheep was exceedingly good Including more prime freezers than for some time, and some really"! good ewes. Buyers for export operated I freely for all suitable lines at from 153 to 17« I 3d ; heavy weight wethers from 17a 6d to 20 . | Butchers' ewes, in spite of the large yarding, well maintained late rates at 12s to 14s 6d | 1 for good and 10s to lis 6d for others. For : fat lambs buyers competed strongly, for ex- I port, and a rise of 6d per head in the better ! Eorts resulted, priceß ruling from lis 6d to 13s 9d, and down to 10a 9i for butchers' kinds. In store sheep there were a good many from the North aod these met but a poor market, owing to the continued dry weather causing a , scarcity of feed, but good' Canterbury sheep held their own. Two big lines of wethers were passed at lis 3d and lis 4d, and smaller lines at 12a 6d and 13s Id ; a line of 2000 from Marlborough selling at lis 4d, Good young Canterbury ewes brought 14s lid and 15s 9d ; others of fair ages 133 to ! 13s lid, up to full mouthed, 10s to 10s 6d ; Bnd aged and oulls Ss.fco bs 9d. The bu!k of the lambs were withdrawn, including a line of 1000 at 9s ; forward sorts bringing 9a 2d to 10s 2d, aod backward 7a 2d to 8s 9d. Pigs.—There was a rather improved, demand for pigs of all classes, especially fatß, . baconers selling at 33a to 43a 6d ; equal- 3£<i to 3£d per lb, and,porkers 22s to 34s 6:l^ or \ 4 1 per lb ; stores 13a 91 to 21a 6 J 5 Buckem I and weaners 6s to 12s, S

consumption It Can be Cured. There is no doubt about it. Begin early, take cmt all impurities from the system, enrich the blood, and recovery I is certain. If your child is thin and ! pale give Ayer's Sarsaparilla at once. Consumption only attacks the weak. Mr. Alfred G. Stevens, of Pamell, Auckland, N. Z., sends us the photo graph of his daughter and says : j "My daughter Emily, 17 years of age, was ; in a very low state. She could not sleep I because of her .violent cough. Two doctors said she was in the first stages of consump tion. She was so weak she could not go out by herself. A friend induced me to try MHTS Swsapamia In less than two weeks our daughter could i sleep well at night. Her mother and I would go into her room at all hours of the night, it seemed so good not to hear that awful hollow cough. She raised great quantities of blood, yet notwithstanding all this I can now say she 1 is entirely cured." Take Ayer's Pills with the Sarsaparilla. , Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mors..

MR S. A. PALMER, Dear Sir- Nine years ago I had an attack of "typhoid fever"; this left me with a *' running sore" on my left leg, which caused me great pain, jo muoh so tbat I could only average about " three months*' work in a year," The doctors I consulted could not do me any good, so I had to suffer. About four yearß ago my sufferings were further aggravated by an accident, through a atone falling on the ssni9 leg, causing me intense pain. I eonght relief in various advertised remedies, but without receiving any benefit from them. Hearing about " Webber's Vit&datio" I decided to give it" a trial." After taking four bottles I am thankful to j cay that the "inflammation and running sore have disappeared." I Buffer no pain, | and am able to do my work as usual. You ! are at liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial, juat hopirg it may benefit some poor sufferer. I am, yours 'gratefully, LEONARD PRITCHARD. Witnessed by" P.
