(Received June 11, 10.45 a.m.) THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENCY- Washisgton, June 10. At an informal meeting of delegates to the Republican Convention it was stated that five hundred and eleven would support Harrison. Blame's followers declare the statement unre liable, and that Blame has a slight majority. Resolutions have been put forward proposing that the Convention should approve of bimetalism, the Go , vernment being responsible for main taining the purity of metals. The Convention has also reaffirmed the principle of Protection.

The Committehave been most assiduous m their efforts to carry out the project, and we are glad to hear that they have every prospect of success. The adjourned meeting of ratepayers of the Wakanui Road District was held to-day. About a dozen ratepayers were present, but as the balance sheet had not been returned from the audit department, the meeting was further adjourned to a date to be fixed by the chairman. The "New Zealand Times" welcomes the Hon. Dr Grace back to New Zealand withallthe more pleasure as he exerted himself manfully m the very influential sphere to which busi- | ness took him m Sydney m the defence of New Zealand credit. He told the meeting of the A.M.P. shareholders that nearly a million of their money had been invested m New Zealand during the last twenty years, and that of that large sum they had not lost a single shilling of principal or interest. What better evidence could ,they have of the com mercial morality and soundness of a people ? The energetic Doctor did not get any report from the Sydney newspapers, but he will get the best thanks of the people of New Zea land.

Suspension of the Oriental Bank.

(per press association) London June 9. The depositors of the New Oriental Bank hare recently been insuring themselves at Lloyd's for five guineas per cent. The Government of Singa pore had witndrawn its deposit yester day. The other Eastern banks are considered to be m a strong position and not likely to be affected. There is an excited feeling, however, m the city and the money market is depressed. It is likely a call will be made to pay the depositors 10* m the £>. It; is hoped that no attempt will be made to reconstruct the Bank. Bankers con sider the suspension will largely shake the confidence of Scotch depositors m the Australian banks. The manager of the Bank refuses to give any details of the circumstances which have caused the smash. Shares m the Bank were offered at £3, but there were no buyers. London. June 10. The Directors have petitioned for an order to wind tip the Company. The " Pall Mall Gazette" says it is reported that depositors m the Oriental Bank are only likely to receive 15s m the £. Rash banking is alleged to have taken place owing to a desire to employ the enormous deposits. There are a large number of Scotch deposi tors, most of whom are residents of Edinburgh.

Grain and Produce.

The following is the Christchurch Corn Exchange report for the week ending June 11: — Wheat.—We think the market decidedly easier, and have had great diffi culty m drawing sellers and buyers together on some large parcels m our hands. We note from the English market that Dantsic and Konigsberg wheats are alway3 quoted 3s to 4s per quarter above all others. If this is a wheat of a particular class and a good yielder it is a matter of regret we have not got it; 6d per bushel seems to us worth looking after. Baulky.-—The demand has slackened. Oats.—A fair enquiry at rates quoted. Tartars have, as we anticipated, dropped back. Potatoks. —A little more enquiry, but not a great trade doing. The following are prices paid to farmers f.0.b,, packages extra, potatoes excepted :—Wheat —Tuscan 3s 6d, Pearl 3s 6d, Hunter's 3s 4d, damaged according to condition. Barley- Malting 4s, seconds 3s to 3s 6d. Oats — Milling Is 9d, feed Is 4d to Is 7d, Tartars Is 7d. Ryegrass—3s to 3s 6d, machine dressed. Potatoes—Short delivery, 17s 6d Derwents, 21s 6d kidneys.

POLITICAL

MR W. P.. REEVES IN CHRIST CHURCH.

(PBR PKESo ASSOCIATION)

OHRI9TCHUROH, June 11. At another meeting Under the auspices of the Canterbury Liberal Association, the Hon. Mr Reeves delivered a second address touching upon new matter —the Legislative Council, the Edwards' case, Payment of Members, the School Sylla bus, the Midland Railway Company, and Kanaka labour m Queensland. He denied that the Government wanted to swamp the Legislative Council, or trample on the Constitution. All they wanted was a reasonable following to support measures 3?nt up by the representatives of the majority of the people. H« claimed tl.aS m the Edwards case the present Govern ment deserved credit for vindicating the dignity, and independence of the Supreme Court Judges, and the action of the Privy Council was one on which every liberal might look with legitimate pride. The recent election at Wellington was won by the platform, that at Bruce lost through want of preparation and organisation and the people's attention being diverted from the main to side issues. He upheld Ministers' claim to travelling expenses, as Ministers m their work gave good value"' to the taxpayers for their cost. The reformation of the school syllabus was a step m the right direction, arid the School Committees Election Acb was not so cumbersome an I clumsy as the Opposition newspapers tried to make out. Ooncernins; the Mid laud Railway Company and their latest proposals he said the Government could not accept them, but wculd bo preparec to Consider modifications which would not be unfair to the colony. He expressed atrona; dissent to the introduction of Kanaka labor, and approved of Govern ment declining to attend the Conference. He said the question was one which stood m the wa> of federation with Aus tralia. In conclusion Mr Reeves denied the rumour that he intended to seek another seat at next election, and stated he would stick to Christchurch as long as Christchurch stuck to him. A vote of thanks and confidence was passed.

Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, Londo MR ANDREW BLACK, was a student at the British Horological Institute and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, while m the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no roj'al road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing » valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. "■"■■■ """" 0 \ll work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.
