published till June, after the greater portion of the grain crop has been ex ported." (3) "That as ? *lii3 Association did not receive the letter of the Hon. the Minister for Agriculture, which, was dated May 27, until June 15th, when Parlia ment was already m session, they ha:l not an opportunity of thinking over sugges tions bearing on the welfare of the agri cultural community as fully as they would have wished to. Under the circumstances they content themselves by endorsing the resolutions passed by the Canterbury Association as regards dairy produce and the rates for railway carriage, and urge the Hon. the Minister to endeavour to carry into effect as soon as possible the recommendations made therein."

The British Postmaster-General is giving fajrorable consideration to a pro posal for cheap rates of postage for small parcels of agricultural produce. At pre »ei»t thejcharges for seeding lib of butter by parcel post is Slb-rate, This is, of course, pretty well prohibitive, though a ftw people may stand the expense to gratify their fancies. On 2lb of butter and the package the charge is 6d, or 3d a pound, which is About one-fourth of the average farm value of the butter. Again, •n a»w laid eggs, a form of luxwry which townspeople particularly enjoy when the the eggs are produced m the country, the rate comes to 4|d a dozen, as there are about eight eggs to th» pound. This is half the country value of the eggs m the plentiful seasons of the year. Low rates would greatly help the direct supply of consumers by producers, and do away to a great extent with the middle-man.

A couple of years ago the farmers of the northern part of Canterbury were suffering from the depredations of sheep stealers. South Canterbury (according to the Timaru *' Herald ") appear* now to have the same moral evil. Several farmers have had reason to complain of losses lately. We hear of thefts of sheep at Hilton and Washdyke, and a certain run holder m this district says he loses about 1000 head a year by thieves. It is high time the sheepfarmers combined, as they talk of doing to check these depredations.

Writing on May 16, the Kngli-.h agri cultural correspondent of the " Witness " says :—A drop m the price of wheat has taken place since the fine weather set m, quotations being 2s a quarter lower than they were three weeks ago. But there liM been a partial recovery m America, Which is likely to take place here also unless crop reports become more favorable than they are just at present. The generally flourishing appearance of the winter wheat, crop m America has a very depressing influence upon the trade, while insufficient allowance is made for the lateness ©f the spring wheat crop m that country, very little of which had been sown oh the lut of May. From South Russia, Austro-Hunjjary, and a few other countries reports have improved m tone ; but nothing can make up for the great destruction of the winter wheat crop m France, and the considerable injary done to ifc m Germany, Holland, Belgium, and elsewhere. We shall probably learn that the area under wheat m Europe is many millions of acres less than it was last year, as sowing was stopped prematurely by the early advent of winter, and large areas had to be ploughed up. As to the Indian crop, an official report received o» Monday last states that the yield is under average.

Employers' Conference.

[per pkkss association.] Wellington, June 27. The Employers' Conference hare finished work, all but forwarding their views to the Government, which will be done on Monday. The members view the Labor Bills with openly avowed dislike, not on thto ground that they are inimical to employers, so much as that, m their opinion, they will thwart the very object they aim at; by rendering it impossible for employers to provide work for men. They also take objection to the principle, al leged to be underlying, of excluding women and boys altogether from work.

The Labor Conference.

[PER PRBaS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, June 26. The Labor Conference held the final sitting this morning. The last measure taken into consideration was the Slaughter house Amendment Bill proposed by the Auckland Trades and Labor Council. All the bills were highly approved, and only recommendations of a minor character will be made to the Government. The Confei'ence discussed the New Zealand labor federation scheme, which includes direct benefit to members among its •revisions, and it was decided to approach the Government on the subject. The de plorable state of workers engaged m m various avocations m the town and country districts was alluded to by the delegates, and it was decided to bring the matter under the notice of the Ministry. The resolutions passed at the Conference will be conveyed to the Premier m writing.

(Received June 29, 11,30 a.m.) 1 HEATY FLOODS. Stdxbv, June 29. The town of Wagga is m a bad state m consequence of heavy rains. The telegraph lines to Sydney are in terrupted, but a message which came through by way of Melbourne showed thafc late last night matters were m a serious condition. The town was being gradually flooded and the gas works were already submerged. One man had been drowned, and boats were badly wanted. The townships of East Queanbeyan is inundated to the depth of six feet, and Terrara three feet. Stock and produce were being swept down th« Murrurabidgee. The flood m Murrumbidgee is within two feet of the height of the memor able flood m 1852, when the old town ship of Gundagai was washed away, and eighty-one inhabitants drowned. Although the Avater is now falling, the current is running with fearful rapid ity, and several houses have been washed away. Goodin and Worland are the names of the two men drowned at Gundagai. A relief party went out to rescue the men, who were perched m trees, and took off four of them. On the return journey the boat capsized, and the men clung to snags for nearly seven hours. Out of a crowd of forty people who had collected oh dry ground, only one, named True, volunteered to endeavor to re»cue the unfortunate men. He started m a boat by himself, and after two attempts he succeeded m rescuing all except Worland and Goodin. Melbourne, June 29, It is now believed that the old wreck off Cloninel Island has been mistaken for a fresh disaster at Port Albert, where the collector of customs reported a wreck. On Saturday great floods were com ing down m Gippsland. Snowy Vale ia completely under water, and relief partUss areout. The boat used by ope of them capsized, and two men are piss- Ing.
