Native Land Affairs.

[per pkess association.] Wellington, April 11. Pour leading Uriwera chiefs have re quested the Native Minister to assist them in getting the*whole of the Uriwera coun try surveyed at once. The Minister is favorable as soon as the present survey is completed. The block comprises 200,000 acres, and the survey would pave the way for the Native Land Court to allocate the land among the different Hapus. The second batch of charges for ob structing surveys by the Uriwera Natives was heard at Whakatane yesterday. Five Maoris were fined £15 each with coats, in default two months' imprisonment. They did not appear and warrants were issued. , A youth was fined 40s which his father paid, at the same time promising the lad should not be permitted to interfere again. Two others were fined £10 or two months' imprisonment. The men ac cused of pulling up a trig station did not appear, and warrants were issued for their arrest. The principal offenders have re tired inland, and fta a large force would be required to pursue them they will not be arrested till they put in an appearance at European settlements. TeKooti has written to the obstruction ists advising them to allow the survey to proceed and look to the law for redress vi future. The Native Minister has instructed the R.M. to ascertain whether there is likely to be any more interference, with a view of taking strong measures to put ib down permanently.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

FROM the reviews of the corn trade in the "United Kingdom in the month of January, which of course give many more details than are brought,to us by cable, we see that the new year did not' open any more auspiciously for wheat growers than the old year closed. In fact though the severity of the winter had closed many important sources of supply, the effect upon wheat prices was almost imperceptible, and prices at the end of the month were only a few pence per quarter higher than those quoted at the end of December. The position of feeding grain is remarkable. One reviewer] sa y S ;_«January, 1893, has written on the walls of our corn exchanges, the brute before the man. A better stable and better meals for the horse than for the horse's keeper, Men and women multiply and fight, whilst our horses, flocks and herds only increase their population in a ratio that does not allow of extreme competition, London, with its 5,000,000 of human beinfs, has no balancing cattle-metro polis to contrast with it. And so wheat is down, and animal food is up i in the markets." For the last week of the month the average London quota tions were—wheat, per 4801bs, 30s; barley, per 4001bs, 28s; oats, per 3201b5, 19s 2d. Eeduced to the price per lOQlbs these prices are—wheat 6s 3d, barley 7s and oats 6s. The- wheat market was being paralysed by the enormous importations of American, flour, which was selling at 19s per sack as against 29s per sack in January, 1892 The stock of v.heat m the principal ports of the United Kingdom was very slightly in excess of that ot a year previously, while flour showed the enormous excess of one million sacks. What the American miller must lose in making flour that sells in England at 18s may be guessed, when it is told that in the past month of January the sons of an English rector (who had " gone west" to farm lands in Manitoba) visited Mark Lane, and informed a writer that they f were having to sell wheat at 10s per quarter, which could only be grown to pay at all for 16s per quarter. Early in January the value of wheat was affected in London, on the Continent and in America by strong apprehen sions chat large wheat-growing areas in France had been winter-killed, lnis idea only dominated trade for a few days, for when the thaw came it ap parently revealed that the wheat plant had not been damaged, thanks to a sufficient covering of snow. As a re sult of this latest information, the gam on wheat was at once lost. The forces contributing to a further fall in the prices of wheat are all stronger than they were a year ago, with the single and great exception that value is at 25s to 30s, or 10s per quarter cheaper; and this exception means that, should any untoward events arise in weather or politics, the present level is low enough to become a stepping-stone that would easily support a rise of 5s to 10s per quarter. Howeter, as January fends,-the market horizon is notably clear-in favor of buyers. A > vast bulk availaHeV shipment is vmble supply in America. India w hope ul of that will allow a surplus ?or export of quite a million quarters in excess of last season, and South America, as well as Australia, is freely oflering to ship, prices in all cases being at the current low rates. The currency in January, 1892, for Australian wheat in Mark Lane was 435. For better wheat this season the asking^prices off stands per 4961bs are 33s 345, whil t, cargoes are offered at 31s 6d per Mlbs. The reports of country chs iricts state that English wheat field* show a healthy plant, the area fciug Lry small. Some legislative and trade prifcalß may have an influence upon the markets. There is the Anti- Option Bill of America, which has just passed the Senate, and means the voluntary muring of speculators gainst inordinate risk ; At the s^me S the London millers have over fed their old systems of Bales and quotations, with the result that they too have agreed to put a mu^le upon some time in the future at the sale price-required to be regulated. Ihe efforts being made to improve the position of agriculture in the United Kingdom were without effept upqa the markets.; The inquiries of the Royal Oommi c»ion mainly showed that wheat farming cannot profitably be main tained at present prices. A comparison of different systems of farming is given bttf^a^' A Norfolk yeoinau, 1' *r «# P9 tier acre. Meanwhile dtll : write) Mark Lane goes on satisfied that imported wheat supplies will always be ample for the wKts of the country. We can see no comfort in this lor the TsfW Zealand wfteat grower,"

The Canadian-Australian Mail Service.

[PElt PKiSSS ASSOCIATION.]

(Receivei April 11, H-30 a.m.) Sydney, April 11. Both the Union Company of New Zealand and tfte Orient Company have represented to the Colonial Govern ment that they ought not to be over looked in making arrangements for the Vancouver mail service, and stating that they were both prepared to enter 'for the service. Mr D. Mills, of the Union Company, to-day, in the course of an interview, stated that owing to the Monowai being required for the intercolonial trade arrangements were proceeding to replace her in the San Francisco line with a faster vessel of 4000' tons burthen. He expected the new vessel would be running before next season, and that she would do the journey from San Francisco to Sydney in 21 days. | Melbourne, April 21. 1 The Government have adjourned the Vancouver mail question, pending the receipt of the views of the South Aus tralian Government. The Premier says he does not feel disposed to sub sidise a line of steamers not calling here. Hobart. April 11, It is understood that the Govern ment will decline to join in a subsidy to the Vancouver service. Brisbane, April 11. Owing to the unsettled state of public affairs Sir Thomas Mcllraith has Replied to the communication, from, the Premier of New South Wales that he is unable to discuss the Vancouver mail question, though he is favorable to a direct service with Vancouver.

! Wellington, April 11. The Government has not been ap proachad on the subject of the Vancouver service, whence it is inferred that the present intention is to run the steamers direct to \ustralia and leave New Zealand out.

DROMORE.

[from our own corkespondent j

A fire broke out here on Sunday morning about half-past ten by which a stable, shed, fowlhouse, and pigsty belonging to Mr Candy, one of the .village settlers, were completely destroyed. The fire was caused by one of the children setting fire to agorse fencs. Had it not been for the prompt dssistancarendsred by Messrs King and O'Malley nothing could have saved the house. A number of household utensils, harness, etc., were destroyed, causing a loss to the extent of £12 at the least—a heavy blow to a struggling settler with a.large family. The occurrence of this fire brings promi nently into notice the want of an adequate supply of water on these plains. From information gained from the residents here I understand that the Government have re ceived considerably over £100 which should have been spent in local improvements—?'.".,. water races and roads. This amount comes principally from what are known as " accu mulated thirds." Not one sixpence of this money has been spent for the benefit of the settlers. No roads no water races exist to show that the Government has done its duty to this particular settlement, At the best it is a struggle for the holiers of small allotments to make ends meet, and farmers who have had considerable experi ence on the plains will iell you the wonder ful difference which even a modified system of irrigation makes in the productive quality of ths soil. Water had to be brought from a considerable distance to help in the extin guishing of the above-mentioned fire, whereas if things had been as th«y ought to be, there would have been a water race in close proximity. This, of coarse, is by the way. Fires are of occasional occurrence, but bread and butter are daily necessaries, and it certainly seems the duty of the authorities to see that the people whom they have put upon the land have every possible help towards making a living., A short time ago a petition was sent to the County Council and by them forwarded to the Minster of Lands. It is, therefore, to be hoped that the important question of a water supply for Dromore will be shortly attended to. Mr Clarke held a sale here on Friday which vas very well attended, stock, etc., fetching very fair prices. Mr Hart holds a sale next Wednesday, April 12. Mr King is doing good work among the children by bringing them together on Sun days for religious instruction.

The Accident to the lonic.

Cape Town newspapers give particulars of the breakdown of the s.s, lonic. The accident occurred at 2.35 p.m. on February 8. The vessel was making favourable headway when the propeller was heard to give two violent thumps, sending a thrul of horror through the ship. Tben the engines started to race, and the ship'be gan to vibrate ominously, adding to the alarm occasioned by the first thumps. The engines were immediately stopped, and it was found, on examination being made, that the tail shaft had parted in the stern tube, and that the tuba had Seen smashed, and also the gland which closed the inner end of the" tube. The engines were thu.s rendered useless, a.nd further progress was impossible. Though there was naturally some alarm amongst the passengers at the accident, there was no panic, and the behaviour of the cap tain and crow removed all fear of any serious consequences to the lives of those on board. Endeavours were instantly made to repair the accident, and in order to prevent leakage the bulkhead was im mediately shored up, and all water tight doors shut, To reassure the passengers, and as a precautionary mea« c, the boats were immediately prepared for instaat lowering, and provisions go^ read/ to p~ut in them. At the same time a bo^ wa!* lo Wer pd ' and e^°?ts were made to secure' the propeller, so as to" prevent it from moving. There was, however, so much swell on that it was impossible to do anything at that time. The same night the captain made another attempt, and suppeeded in. securing the two sides of the propeller with steel hawsers, and also placing a chain round it. On SKh February a drift buoy was set afloat, to which wasi attached a sealed bottle'contain ing a paper, asking the finder to at once telegraph to the owners that the ship had broken down. On 10th February another buoy was sent off with & similar message At the time the accident occurred the lonic was midway between St Helena and the Cape (both being about 850 miles distant), and opposite to Walfish Bay _ distant about 315 milps. £ha was rignt in the track of steamers bound to and from the Cape, and Captain TCidJey calculate^ that the mail ufceamer which left Table Bay on fclie Bth February ought to pass eaily on the morning of the lltli. He therefore resolved to make no effort by using sails to proceed, but to allow the vessel to drift until aid game m the shape of one of the Cape liners. The passengers cook the breakdown very calmly on the whole, their only trouble appearing to be lest the ship should be floating about fp.r seme ' days, and their' friends ashore would be' anxious Captain Ridley s oalpul'ationo proved perfectly correct, ana .soon after 4 o'clock en the morning of Saturday, the 11th, a Fteamer'u lights were sighted, and in answer to the lome s "nnnU 1" Inike aiO'."i£wo. and proved fto°"b#iho HawarcUn Castle, on the voyal from the Capo to England.

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, produces of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may nofc be taken > r Our Pure Volatile Eiioa* lypfci Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of ■ the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant.' Zander and sons' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Molntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America., is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which j possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible : 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Euqalypti Extract, develops most freely through its'surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, t^e result of the. contracting tendency of resins and tanna'tep. If these crude oils, cr so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases qf croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are njost appalling.
