The Frozen Meant Trade.

VALUABLE INFORMATION

Mr Geo. G. Stead's London agents write him, under date February 6th, respecting frozen mutton, as follows :— ** We are sorry to say that the North Canterbury sheep have lately been coining very inferior m quality, and are steadily but surely losing their reputation as the best brand tf New Zwalaud sheep. Most of the sheep show far too much of the merino m them, and give great dissatis faction. The legs are very plain, and when thawed look quite black. In fact, they are not all suited for freezing for London. What we want is the real half bred sheep, -with short, thick legs just covered with sufficient fat to keep it bright when thawed, and weighing between 561 b »nd 681 b per carcase. This, if well bred and young, is sure to give satisfaction, and there are many butchers who would willingly give Jd to £d per lb more for sheep which they could really depend on to give satisfaction. NCfloubt part of the blame rests with some of the London sellers, who, instead of sorting out the sheep properly, often allow the best of their sheep to Le sold at about £d per lb more than the worst, whereas, m point of fact, the best are often worth fd per lb more than the worst if properly handled. The best sheep cost no more to bring over than the inferior, and middling sheep have to compete with Australian and also fliver Plate. The difference m value of inferior New Zealand, Australian and River Plate sheep will gradually get less, as the latter sheep are rapidly improving m quality, consequently the chief aim of our Canterbury friends should be to im prove the quality of their sheep."

The Printing Trade.

[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Dunedin, April 4. At a Conference of the Federated Asso ciation of Master Printers it was unani mously resolved—" That m the opinion of this Council the Government should, as far as possible, distribute the printing required amongst the private printing houses of the colony by tender, the com- Setitioa of the Government Printing iffice being unfair towards a local in dustry m which a very large amount of capital is invested, and which affords a large measure of employment; also that the printing and publication by the Government of such works as Law Reports, Transactions of the New Zealand In stitute, Buller'sßook of Birds,, &c, "is a distinct interference with the printing trade of the colony." It was also agreed to express sympathy with the principle of combined Boards of Conciliation.

SOUTHLAND.

(FROM OtJR CORRESPONDENT.)

Harvesting is m full swing down here, but the weather for ft week or so past has been rather unfavorable, and between the nor'-westers, sou-westers and hailstorms several patches of crop have been rendered worthless, and farmers are now feeding the same off with sheep. Fortu nately the amount uncut was only limited. However, since the full moon, fchn weather has been fairly good, and the work of slacking is going on>U right. On the whole the crops are good, and the quality oi the grain excellent. The grass seed crop was also very good, and was well saved. This is now being threshed cut, and is eagerly sought after by our merchants. Timothy has turned out well, but; owing to the fact of nearly every farmer going m for sheep, the area set apart for this seed is very limited. Our pastures never looked better, and stock of every description are looking remarkably well Cattle are rather dull of sale, but the demand for sheep cannot be supplied, and the price asked by sellers is almost prohibitive, which may m part be accounted for by the fact that iv addition to the stubbles now available, the turnip crop is exceedingly good, showing an abundance of winter feed. The small birds are becoming a great nuisance, and the local bodies here don't seem to take any interest m the matter, the County Councils especially, whose whole aim of late seems to be to crawl out of their difficulties by reducing their overdraft to the legal limit, but so far the Wallace County is a long way behind, and those of the members who are worth powder and shot would do well to trans fer their properties to their wives some time between this and the month of June, when the master will call again and de mand his own. Properties are selling well, the well known Gladfield Estate, onc«s the pro perty of James Mackintosh, our M.H.E., containing about 12,000 acres, is now m the market,-and during the past two months several thousand acres of it has changed hands. During the last seven years this estate has been ottered for sale several times, but not until now have bona fide buyers come forward. The terms are this time half cash down- March SO.

THE MARKETS.

(per press association.)

Melbourne, April 6. Mr Hayter, Government statist, estimates the Victorian wheat yield for the last season at 13,003,226 bushels. Melbourne, Apiil 7.

THE AHUHI7BTON GUARDIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1891.



By telegram from Wellington we learn that the Premier lias been advised that the Minister of Education has been able to make such arrangements consequent upon the death of his father, Hon W. Reeves, M.L.C., as will obviate the necessity of his resigning his position in the Ministry. "The Sydney Jockey Turf Club's Con sulations " have so often been denounced as swindles that the shoal of circulars from the promoters which is now being sent round scarcely calls for warning against the wonderful inducements held out. Captain Edwin wires at 1.30 this afternoon forecasting heavy northerly gales, changing by west and south west, between noon of the Bth and noon of the 12th. There is evidence of the approach of a period of unsettled and windy weather. John Aldridge, who was convicted of forgery at Blenheim recently, and sentenced to five years penal servitude, and who is now a prisoner in Mount Cook Gaol, has applied for a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that Judge Edwards, who tried him, is not properly a judge. The application, which raises the question of the legality of Judge Edwards' appointment, cannot come on for hearing till the return of the Chief Justice. An octogenarian named Francis Geuden died at Aston, Birmingham, on the 13fch January (says the London correspondent of the " New Zealand Herald "), who may be remembered with respect in New Zealand, though he lived and died a poor working man. Thirty years ago he emigrated to New Zea land, having previously vowed that if successful he would present a peal of bells to the Roman Catholic Church at Erdington. He returned home in 1889, and at once ful filled his promise, at a cost of £800. On the blessing of the bells on January 20, 1878, the Bishop of Birmingham eulogised the old laborer's pious seal for the beauty of God's home. Mr Geuden resided at Erdington until his death. The property he had acquired in New Zealand he had made over to Bishop Grimes, of Christchurch, some years ago, it being the first landed property his see had acquired. Owing to Judge Ward's having been de tained in Christchurch by pressing business, he was unable to reach Ashburton until the arrival of the express to-day, so that the District Court dicf not open until half past one o'clock. The first cases called were those in re W. de B. Wilson, which promised a prolonged sitting, and the Court was en gaged with them all the afternoon. They in volved the legalityorotherwiseof certain pay ments made by bankrupt to Mitchell and Turner and John Orr in October last, which the Deputy Official Assignee moved to be set aside and the sums to be refunded for behoof! of the General creditors. Report of the case will appeaa to-morrow. We clip the following important testimo nial from the Illawarra Mercury " (N. S. W of he 30th March. It needs no comment:— • Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountaino writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Eucalyptic Extract. He says :—" Seeing the said Extract advertised in the ' Illawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract <* cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests ws to publish this information through the' Mercury.' We have much pleasure in complying with Mr Loveday's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object in view pther than a pure desire to, benefit suffering humanitY. "—(Mvt») 2_
