MATTHEWS & BENNETT'S REPOKT,

Matthews and Bennett report a good sale at their Inglewood yards on Wednesday last. There was a very fair yarding of cattle and bidding was keen up to°the following prices:—Springing heifers £5 10s to £5 15s, springing cows

OUTSIDE MARKETS. ADDING TON. i At Addington there were moderate entries for stock and a small attendance on account of the wet weather. Store sheep were without change. Fat lambs were dull of sale, and fat sheep, except prime wethers and ewes, were easier. Beef was in keen demand. Store cattle were difficult to dispose of, but dairycows lvere again in demand. Pigs sold at late rates, except porkers, which were rather firmer.

There were only four lines of store sheep offered, of which three were wethers. They sold at last week's rates, 79 wethers selling at 14s Id, 57 at 13s lid, and 207 at 12s Gd, and a small lot of hoggets were taken at 10s Gd. There were only about 600 fat lambs penned, and mostly of moderate and inferior quality. There were only two export buyers operating, and the limited competition caused the sale to be dull, though there was little change in prices, the range being lis Gd to 17s 2d. There was a fair entry of fat sheep, and, as little business was done for export, competition was almost entirely confined to the butchers. As the supply was ample, prices for anything but prime wethers and ewes were easier, especially towards the close of the sale. The range of prices was: Prime wethers 17s Cd to 23s (id, lighter 14s to 17s, extra prime ewes to 21s lid, prime 15s to 10s, aged and light lis Od to 14s od, merino wethers 7s to 10.-. 7:1.

Tlii' yarding of (at cattle totalled 281, and the quality was again of a good to very prime quality. There was a keen demand at the previous weeks rates. Steers made £7 '2s lid to £lO 17s (id, extra to £l3, heifers £5 10s to £8 2s (id, extra to £lO las, eows £5 to £8 15s, extra £!) 17s (id (equal to 19s to 24s for ordinary to prime, and to 20s per lOOlb for extra prime).

Veal calves made 5s 6d to £2 17s Gd,

A few pens of store cattle met with a dragging sale, two-year steers making £3 lis 6d and 17 cows £2 8s to £3 ss. Dairy cows sold well at £3 10s to £9 7s 6d.

There was a small entry of pigs, and late rates were maintained, porkers selling rather better. Choppers sold up to £3 7s Gd, medium baconers 40s to 40s (equal to 4d per lb), large porkers 32s to 38s, smaller 25s to 32s (equal to 4y ? d to 4%d per lb), medium stores 14s to 18s, small 6s to 13s.

BABY'S LITTLE TROUBLES. Baby's cough, if not attended to, often results in croup and other serious troubles. Always keep a bottle of Dr. Sheldon's Xew Discovery handy, and be prepared. Every bottle guaranteed. Price Is fid and 3s. Obtainable everywhere,

A minute's delay in treating some cases of croup—often the length of time it takes to go for a doctor—frequently proves fatal. To save worry keep a bottle of Chamberlaiin's Cough Remedy in the house, and at the first indication of croup give the child a dose. Pleasant to take and always cures. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers. He took hot whisky, gin, and rum, To cure a nasty cold! His home was Pandemonium For weeks and weeks, I'm told; He made a fearsome hullabaloo, And smashed the furniture! But now he's well (and sober, too) Throusrh Woods' Creat Peppermint (tire. 21 There is no preparation manufactured that will sooth and heal chilblains as Chamberlain's Pain Balm will do. When this liniment is applied it soon allays the itch and prevents the chilblain breaking. It causes them to heal in a very short while. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers.
