ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET

There was a good attendance at the yards yesterday, but business was not partlenlarly brisk. Cat’le —The supply of fat cattle was not above the average in point of numbers, bnt in quality has seldom, if over, been surpassed. The Manawatn consignment was quite up to last week’s splendid weight and quality, but Canterbury was equal to the occasion, and showed itself not to bo eclipsed as a cattle-rearing P.oviics by a draft of most wocderful ■tuck, sent in by Mr John Ferguson, and fed by him at Halswell. The bullocks of these realised the high average of £l4 10s per head, and a phenomenal heifer among them sold at £l2. Such quality and weight combined are rarely to bejfound Mr A. Thompson’s bullocks averaged £ll 10s -nearly £1 a head higher than last week, but the cattle were heavier. Some other lines in the market would have caused tome sensa tion under ordinary circumstances, and Bold at up to £lO for steers. The pre ponderance of heavy carcases csused a run hy the smaller butchers among lighter weights, with the result that ordinary beef sold at about the same price per 100 bas prime, name T y at 24s ; a few of the choicest animals bringing 255. Ordinary to good steers sold at £7 to £10; heifers, £6 to £B, and cows, £6 to £7 17 6d. Store cattle were a full market, but mostly In backward condi tion. There was an active demand, especially for good fresh three-year-olds, which sold up to £5 6* per head Dry and maiden cows also sold well. The usual number of dairy [cows came for ward, moetly of indifferent sort ; the best fetched £5 to £7.

Sheep were in rather abort supply, bat' qhite sufficient for the demand. Cross-breds of ell grades, and especially the best, were scarce, and merinos mostly of Indifferent quality, formed the bulk of the day’s market. The Laghmor eroaa bred wethers were again, the pink of the pens, and brought last week’s values of 16s Sd and 15* 6d ; and among the merino* Messrs Gould and Cameron’s ware of their usual style, though they did not quite readlfelsst week’s average price, the top being 13* 64. The Cor war cross-bred and merino wethers were Tory prime mntton ; the latter topped the sale at 13 6d. Sheep were frequently a shade weaker than last week, as (he market, af>er opening well, closed very dull-. , Best cross-bred wethers sold at 14s to 16 3!, ordinary 10s to 13s; best merino wethers 13* to 13* 6d, ordinary 7s to o*. Mutton was equal to 2|d for best lines, and 2| to 2i for ordinary and ewes. 4g od many "store sheep were yarded, and met with good competition, but several lines had to be withdrawn -on «Modnt of owners’ high reserve*. Cross-bred hogte’a, sold at 8s Id to 'Ha. 6d; two-tooth balf-bred wethers, y/0t 61j tooth erras-breda ewes and Wethers 10s and wethers, 8s lOd ; old merino ®w s with cross-bred lambs. 3* 93.

Plgs were a »m%ll entry, and sold at Tate values Porkers realised 12s to 20s, heavier weights to 28a; stores, some Tales lines at 6s and 7s ; sows with pigs, ’Sis.

RAISING A BOGEY.

Just as certain wicked nurses frighten timid children by the terrible “bogey” which is supposed to lie in wait for the poor little morsels of humanity in dark cupboards and other eerie places, so, we observe, some of our Northern con temporaries are filling the political souls of their readers with alarm anent the supposed wicked intentions of the South. For example, the Auckland Herald , writing of the rejection last session of the Bill to readjust the Representation, screams and scolds away In the following fashion ; —“ The motives which induced the opponents of the measure prepared by the Premier last session will not fail to operate with equal force during the one which will succeed it, and which, dis guise it as they may, is neither more nor less than a determination on the part of the Government supporters to prevent, by all possible means, any present diminution in the numerical strength now wielded in the House by the Southern members. This is a matter which very nearly concerns all the North Island constituencies. We warned them at the time the Bill was before the House that, unless they brought pressure upon their representa tives, the measure would be in danger of being thrown out, and that this would be morally certain to be followed by such contingencies as those which are now being practically foreshadowed at the headquarters of political scheming. But, despite the warning thus given them, they slept upon their rights, took no active steps to secure at the proper time the larger share in the representa tion of the country which is their due, and the Bill was actually lost by the votes of three Northern members. We now again warn the constituencies of the North Island that the consequences of their inactivity, of the treachery of the three representatives in question, as well as of the Cabinet’s crafty con duct, are beginning to develop them selves, and that the same attempts which were successful last session in preventing an expansion of their privi leges are now being planned to per petuate the wrong then done. Nor let them imagine that the Ministry will even in the least degree scruple to countenance the projects that are being formed to secure that result. In fact the hatching of these projects takes place within the Ministerial circle itself. There is absolutely no guar antee that it will happen otherwise than it did last session when the burking of the Representation Bill was a well-understood Ministerial arrange ment. Sir Robert Stout knew quite as well at the beginning as he did at the close of the debate on the question that the Bill introduced by him was doomed by virtue of adroit manage ment previously determined on. Of this Sir Julius Vogel made no secret. He explicitly avowed that the Ministry made it an open question because their supporters, who are almost wholly Southern representatives, were adverse to the measure, and yet he gave as bis reason for the action of himself and certain of his colleagues in voting against it, that the Government did not wish to have it carried by those whose duty it was to be in opposition. That is to say, the device was adopted of allowing the members of the Cabinet to vote as they pleased, but with the precaution that the Bill should be defeated all the same. And the secret. of all this manoeuv ring—this subtile combination of affected liberality with deliberate cunning—was to postpone as long as' possible the dealing with a measure which would increase the voting power of the North and proportionately reduce that of the South. Thus the interests of the North leland were deliberately

sacrificed because, torsooih, the bulk ol the Ministerial supporters are drawn from the South.” Now we do not hesitate to say that this is the veriest rubbish that ever was penned, and that this supposed desire to withhold from the North its fair share of repre sentation has no more real existence than has the “ bogey” of the nursery. Southern constituencies and Southern members are perfectly willing that a readjustment of representation shall take place, no matter what number of members the North may lose or the South may gain thereby, but the measure will be passed in ample time for the elections when passed, as it will be, next session. Why it wasn’t passed last year is easily explained, without resort to such far-fetched assumptions as those of the Herald , and if our contem porary enquires why it was that the en tire Opposition for once (and this once only) supported a Ministerial Bill he will have found the key to the mystery. The fact is simply that Ministerial supporters desired that Parliament should expire by effluxion of time, and that the present Ministry should remain in power until after the elections ; aud they plainly saw that had the Bill been passed last year it was quite on the cards tnat a totally different position would eventuate. It was, further, almost certain that the country would have been put to the cost of a double ses sion next year, and as a double session means a further cost to the country of not less than £20,000 or -£25,000 —a sum which represents a year’s interest on half a million of money — that reason alone, had there been no other, was sufficient to justify the post ponement of the Bill. All this is so thoroughly well known that there is no excuse for framing such theories as the Herald's, which have absolutely no better foundation than have the childish legends of Puss in Boots or Little Red Ridlnghood, and which, like them, can only serve to amuse or terrify children of a larger growth.— Mail.
