Messrs Dalgety and Co. report as follows : Sheepskins.—There was a largo attendance at the sales on Tuesday, and all skins in clean and dry condition sold very freely at fall rateu. Heavy pelted and inferior pelted skins are not so keenly competed for, and sell ut a halfpenny to three farthings per pound lower. Good clean halfbreds and fine crossbreds make fully ten pence per pound, specially light conditioned lots a farthing to a halfpenny more Wo quote:— Full-woollod halfbreds f).vd to 10(1, extra light io.,d, fine crossbreds Dy-tl to lOd, coarse to medium B|d to O.Jd, thick and second class pelied crossbrods 8d to Bgd, merinos 7£d to Bd. RabbTtskins.—Any change at the sales on Monday was, if anything, in favor of buyers. Heavy supplies of Australian skins are <;::j pected to be offered at the London sales to be held on the Slst inst., and a fall of from 10 to 15 per cent, ia expected. To what extent New Zealand skins will participate in the fall it is hard to Hay, but in tho meantime buyers are not particularly anxious to loud up and are buying with caution. Meanwhile quotations are :—Prime winter dons 20 to 21 £d, prime winter bucks I7£d to iS!d, second winters 17., dto 18Jd, incoming winters IOJd to 17Jd, outgoing winters Kid to 17d, prune winter blacks 20d to 2ld, horse huir lyd to lilid.

Royalty honors it, and the entire medical profession has adopted its use. Imitations sprung up without number. The latest of them—all styled " Extracta '--was an oil foisted upon tho trusting and unwary under tho grossest misuse of Sander and Sons' reputation. Sander and Sons' instituted an action at the Supreme Court of Victoria, before his Honor Chief Justice Sir J. Madden. K.C M.G., etc., and at the trial a sworn witness testified that he had to stop tho use of counterfeits on account of the irritation produced. This shows what care is required to obtain an article that is scientifically tested and approved of. As such is solely endorsed and recommended.
