(SncrAii to Chbonicle ) The Fgmont Farmers' Union (Limited) Hawera, report :— We held our usual monthly sale at [ Okaiawa on the 22nd inst., when very few cattle were yarded, but a fair number of sheep. The Btock as a whole was a very good let, so that we disposed of nearly all the cattle, but the sheep were very slow of sale. We quote :— Cattle— Steers, 18---month to 2-year, .62 17s 6dto J63 11s; yearlings and weaners, £\ 10s to £1 16s ; springers, £i to £5 2s. Owing to our Horse Fair falling on the 24th inst., in the middU of the Easter holidays, we had rather a small entry, and the horses were not quite such a good lot as usual. There was a large attendance, but bidding was decidedly dull, mo3t of the . reserves bein? high, though we managed to place a good number of horpe3 a* fair values. We quote:— Draught, .£l4 5s to £20 j trap horses, £5 2s 6d to £\2 10s; hacks, up to £7 10 a. At Manaia on the 28th mit, we had another small sale, The attendance was moderate and bidding alack throughout, so that not much business was done. We quote :— Fat and forward bullocks, £i 10s to £A 18s ; 18-month to 2-year steers, £8 Is6dto.£3 9s; fat cows, £3 93 to £4; yearlingß, £2 4s to £2 ss. Mr. Matthew Henry reports:— A very good muster of sheep came forward. Cattle were very lew in number. The whole tone of the market was decidedly flat, except for wethers and lambs, for which value was offered. Cattle.— Weaners, 40/-, Sheep — 2-tooth wethers, 6/- to 9/3 ; shorn lambs, 3/3 to 5/9. Messrs. Abraham and Williams report : —A large line of steers from up-country together with a few odd lots of local cattle, made up the sale. Young cattle were steady at recent rates. For the bulk of the steers, buyers and vendors' prices were not quite ou the same level, so that a small number only changed hands. Sheep were fairly numerous; second-rate lambs in their wool were without enquiry, other sorts remain much on a par with recent prices, and mostly sold. Sheep— Full-mouth ewes, 2/6, 3/6, 4/1, 5/2 ; 2-tooth ewes, 8/9 ; wethers, 8/5 to 8/11 ; shorn lambs, 4/-. Cattle— Weaners, 37/-; yearling steers, £2 7/-j 18-month steers, £3 8/-; store cows, £3 4/6. Messrs. Gorton and Son report :— Owiug to the Easter holidays and press of business we were unable to send our usual report of the sales we held at Sanson, Waituna, Bulls, Hunterville, Awahuri, and at Mr. W. Douglas', Campbelltown, this month. The entries were good, but the sales on the whole were dull, excepting at Waituna and at Mr. W. Douglas, Campbelltown, where the bidding for dairy cows was exceptionally brisk, bringing various prices from £4 13s 6d to £'J 2d 6d, the majority being over £7. Since then we have held sales at Marton and at Messrs. D. and W. Monson's property, Stanway road. At Marton the sa'e was very dull, and we were only able to quit a few pens of sheep. At Mr. Mansou's homestead the market was decidedly better. A large number of sheep were yarded, and we sold all the 4 and 6 tooth, all the f.f mouth, all the lambs, and a small portion of the f.m.; the cattle not reaching the reserve were passed in. Our quotations for the last two sales are:— Marton— fat sheep, 8/5 j breeding ewes, 4/4 ; cull?, 2'(>, At Messrs D. and W. Manson's, 4 and 6-tooth ewes, 8/6 to 8.9; f.F.m. ewe?, 6 6 to 6/8; f.m. ewes, 6/6; woolly lambs, 5/2 ; culls, 2/3. To the musical public of Wangnnui.— Chas.

The articles most imitated are CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHER'S PILLS. WHY? BECAUSE they have the best reputation and are most in demand by the public, consequently, every dishonest trader tries to trade on their fame and renown. It is really wonderful that the Australian people arc so slow to see 'the truth as regards the unscrupulous quacks and charlatans who prey on the credulity of the Australian public. Scarcely a week ever passes but what the press exposes the barefaced and shameful practices of some of these harpies, yet, in face of all they seem to thrive, and the paper that hounds them down most thrives fattest on their advertisements and cracks champagne over each balance-sheet. Clements Tonic and Fletcher's Pills have never yet stooped to deception and misrepresentation. They ore scientific therapeutical agents, and evidence as to their value can be found in eveiy district, and such being the case it is unnecessary to further extol their virtues. Lost and. FoundONE POUND EEWAED— Lost from Waverley on about the 12th irst., one German Collie Pup (dog), 12 months old, answer to name of " Mottle." Any. one leaving him at Southcorabe's, Waverley, will receive £1 reward. P. Lloyd Francis. I'nblic Notcies. FO& Paperhangings, Scrim, White Lead, Oil, Varnish, Picture Mould, ings.
