United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Ohristchprch, Feb 28 The entries at Addington comprised 2049 fat sheep, about) 1000 fat lambs, 14,700 store I sheep, 542 cattle, and 229 pigs. ' Cactus.—The 159 fat cattle were mostly cows and heifers, steers being in very short supply. Bidding was Black, and there wan a further decline. Good to prime beef 16s to 18s per 1001b, and secondary down to 13a. Best ■teers £7 10s fco £9, others £5 12b 63 to £7. Extra good heifers £6 10s to £7 12s 6d, others down to £4. Cows £3 15s to £6 12s 6d. There was a good entry of store cattle, including some nice lines of two and three-year-olds. Holders declined to take the prices offered and very little business was done at auction. Sheep*—Fat sheep were a very mixed entry, including poor lots from the north of Canterbury. A few extra heavy wethers were taken by the butchers at 16 3 to 17s 63. Freezing quality (scarce) 14j 6i to 15s 9J ; lighter and inferior 12a to 14s. Really good trade ewes recovered thedropof last week,aud sold at 13a 6d to 15a, but too many were aged and inferior, and hard to quit at lOi to 13s t nrtrino wethers 10s to 13s 9d, and ewes 5a to 3s. A mixed yarding of fat lamba sold well, the best up to 14a 7d, freeZ3ra 12a to 13s 6d, and lighter and unfinished lCs7d to lla 6!. There was the heaviest yarding of store sheep of the season, oontainiag a lot of inferior sorts from Chatham Island, the North Island, and Marlborough. Canter bury sheep held their own, but inferior sorts were rather neglected, owing in a great measure to frhe dry weather experienced. Good Canterbury turnip wethers b' ought 13s Id to 13s 6d, backward sorts lla lOd to 12j 7d, 1500 from Marlborough brought 10s to 11s 10a, 1000 from Chatham Islands 9a 21 to9ssd.

iDdigesflon No Appetite, General Weakness. If your food is only partly digested then the body is only partly nourished. The blood rapidly becomes thin and filled with impurities, the nerves are easily exhausted, there is headache, restlessness, and the whole system is greatly debilitated. Mr. A. Chauffourier, of Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, sends us his photo graph and the following testimonial: " While reporting for the local and metro * politan press in Biverina, I contracted a severe chill which developed into a general weakness of my digestive organs. A short course of AVER'S SarsapaHUi enabled me to continue my work all right. My appetite improved, my taste for food came hack, and my general health was greatly im proved in every way." When taking the Sarsaparilla, it is I best to use Ayer's Pills also. Take just enough each night to produce one good free movement of the bowels daily. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
