Offices m the colony, which transactions will be made the subject of prosecutions, Dunedin, June 9. At a largely attended and representa tive preliminary meeting held this atter noon of those interested m the prosecu tion of work on the Otago Central Rail way those present formed themselves into an Otago Central Railway League, and an executive committee were ap pointed to arrange public meetings, prepare petitions, etc. It was pointdi out that much of the Government land which would be opened up by the railway was at present leased as runs at 2d per acre. If the railway was made it would let for agriculture at Is at least. Ihe increased value of the land would thus more than pay for the line.

The Oriental Bank Suspension.

FEB. FBESS ASSOCIATION. London, June 8. The liabilities of the New Oriental Bank amount to 7£ millions, exclusive of the paid-up capital. The Directors hope to be able to pay the debts m full, and resuscitate the affairs of the Bank, if the depositors will accept 5 per cent preference shares. r June 9. The withdrawal of a million of deposits from the Scotland and Eastern braoches of the New Oriental Bank took place within the last year. Sydney, June 9. The local branch of the New Oriental Bank suspended payment this afternoon. .The last returns show that the Sydney deposits amount to £247,000, the total liabilities being .£248,000, while the assets amount to 3418,000. Returns from the Victorian branch show deposits to be £57,000, the total liabilities £61,000, and the assets £477,000, (Received June 10, 10.40 a.m.) London, June 9. The eastern banks have vainly joined m asking the Bank of England to assist the Oriental Bank. (Received June 10, 11.40 a.m.) Melbourne, June 10. f The closing of the Oriental Bank caused but little excitement m the City, the bank having only a small circle of customers here. Tlie Dairy Ind.ii.stry. (FEE PRESo ASSOCIATION) Wellington, June 10. Mr Sawers, chief dairy inspector, has been interviewed as to his trip to Vic toria. He said that he was sent by the Minister for Lands to inquire into the system pursued m that colony of working up the dairy industry. The result was that he would rather see the industry developed as we were doing m New Zea land by private enterprise and co-opera tion, than bolstered up by heavy State bonuses. In four years claims for bonuses, amounting to nearly a hundred thousand pounds, were made. Many factories were started simply fco get the bonus that could nob possibly p-*y without .it. A system of paying so much per lb according to the price fetched m the Home market opened the door to fraud. State protec tion had made the trade grow with great rapiiity, but he was satisfied it was not on so stable or good a footing aa m New Zealand. He did, however, admire the keen supervision exercised by the Vic torian Government over the products at the port of shipment, an example which he intended to recommend should be fol lowed here. He also intended to suggest that a Branding Act be passed to prevent inferior qualities being palmed off, and that cooling chambers be established at ports. He was sending circulars all round to obtain information for his report to the Legislature.

HHARPLIN Sb CO, fcSFJEtxrWBUI*TV« tfUP^I \*£^^^ ' EAST STREET, ASEBURTON f o: UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze MedaUist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. 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, L»ndo 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 royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing a valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK. Stopping and Troublesome Watches THOROUGHLY CURED. Chertsey, June 7, 1892. Mr Andeew Black, Ashburton. Dear Sir,—ln reply to your enquiry about the watch lam now wearing, I aiways like to give " hon«r to whom honor is due," and I am glad to state that ever since you repaired the watch it has given perfect satisfaction. The watch is a Rotherham and a good one, I left it with two different watchmakers m Ashburton and one m Christchurch before taking it ti you, but none of these gentlemen were able to repair it and make it go satisfactorily ■—Yours truly, Nicholas Welsh. t S.
