Wellington, June 21 I Mr Seddon questioned the unemployed I deputation as bo how long they had bet. n in New Zealand, and it turned out that none had been here longer than ten months, and some only a few weeks. The Governor will not go out to the football match, owing to the weather, much to the disappointment of the people of Petone, who had made great prepara tions to welcome his first visit to the town. Reefton, June 21. ( The names of the two msn drowned off the Alexandra dredge are Fred J. White and John Quinn. The former is believed to have relatives in Nelson. Quinn leaves a wife and family at Greymouth. Up to the present there is no news of the finding of the bodies, but the search is being carried on. It is thought probable the bodies were washed out to rea in the heavy flood of Sunday, '' DtJNBDiN, June 21. Mr McKerrow holds an inquiry on Friday into the recent train accident.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

London, June 20. The number of bales of wool arrived for the next series amounts to 441,000. The American demand will probably be small, owing to delay in the settlement of the , Uaited States tariff. (Received June 22, 11.30 a.m.) Los don, June 21. The total quantity of wheat and flour afloat for the United Kingdom is 3,898,000 quarters, and for the Continent 1,704,000 quarters. 94,000 bales of wool, intended for the present series, have been sent forward direct to the manufacturing districts.

ADDINGTON STOCK MARKET.

Christohukch, June 21, The attendance at the market to-day was fair, but business wa» somewhat de spiriting. The weather was bitterly cold and the late rain left the yards in a very sloppy state, which caused stock to look in anything but good condition. The entries in all departments were small. ; Store Sheep.—About 2000 store sheep came forward, amongst which was a line of ewes with a few early lambs. Though the entry was small it was more than sufficient for requirements. The sale was dull in the extreme, and a good many lines were passed. Fat Shkbp.—About 4000 sheep occu pied the fat pens, nothing of extra quality being yarded A. very large 'number of merinos were on offer, most of which ( were inferior sorts. The sale dragged considerably and a good many did nob change hands. Fat Cxnva.— An entry of 200 head of fit cattle, amongst which one or two lines of really good steers came to hand. Prices were well maintained and all good sorts were eagerly taken. Stobe Cattle.—Store cattle were in poor supply and the sale was anything but lively. Useful kinds sold fairly well. p IG a,—A. large number of pigs cam a forward, the majority of which were good baconers. These sold well, prime sorts bringing up to 4d per lb. Store pigs and weaners were dull of sale.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Messrs Miles and Co., Limited, report on the stock sale held at the Ashburton Yards, on June 20, as under :—The rain of Sunday and Monday prevented several owners from sending in their intended entries, the result being a smaller yarding than usual, and the appearance of the sheep to hand was affected by rain. "3 he totals-comprised 3302 sheep and 42 cattle. Although several pronrnent buyers were absent there was still a good audience, but the sale dragged considerably, and prices suffered a further decline, business at auction being limited, although several sales were afterwards made by private treaty. About 150 sheep represented the entries in the butchers' pens, the only lot sold at auction being three pens of prime merino wethers at 12s 6d. In freezing sheep prime sorts were scarcely repre sented, and the best figures obtained were 16s lOd for a small pen, and 15s 6q, 15s Bd, and 15s Sd for large entries. The only line of fat lambs to hand made Us. Store lambs, of which there was a fair proportion, changed hands at 10s Id, 8s 9d, and 7s 9d. The entries of ewes In lamb were small, the exhibits being of doubtful age and quality, which did not reach owners' reserves. We sold 300 crossbred two-tool h wethers at 13s Bd, other lines being passed. Of cattle there was a larger entry than usual, some prime quality steers coming forward, bub values were npt so firm as of late.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

PUR PRESS ASSOCIATION. Wellington, June 22. It is a beautiful day for the opening of Parliament, which takes place at 2.30. A good number of members are in town, and the Wakatipu which is expected to arrive at 2 p.m. will add to the atten dance.

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.

The fourth session of the eleventh Parliament of New Zealand was this day opened by the Goverm r, when His. Ex cellency was pleased to make the following speech:— Hon. Gentlemen oi 1 the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the House op Representatives,— Ifc gives me great pleasure again to mee.t you, in Parliament assembled. Since last session, I have been enabled to visit in succession the various centres of popu? lation and the principal provincial district of the colony as Her Majesty's Repre sentative. I was everywhere received in the moat loyal and cordial manner. In common with all visitors to New Zealand, t have been struck with the charm and magnificence of the natural scenery, the more remarkable examples of which, on account of their immense material value demand, I think, greater national care than has yet perhaps been bestowed upon them. I waa also impressed with the general prosperous and comfortable ap peaiance'of the settlers. I very greatly regret that death has recently deprived the colony of another very distinguished colonist in the person of the late Premier, Mr John Ballance. This regret is in creased by the reflection that he died at a time of life when it might only have been expected that his marked abilities and high character would still for & number of years be available in the service of his fcountrK. His death, which occurred after a lengthened illness, was un doubtedly hastened by his high minded devotion to public duty. It ia satis factory to notice the widespread' manifestations of sorrow and sympathy by which the people of this and the neighboring colonies have evidenced fchei

J deep feeling ac the loss of so faiohful » ! public servant. I For once lam able to congratulate you upon the buoy.ficy <>f the ;>ublic finances, eh- ccntinued prospuilv of the colony, and the soundness and marked improve ment of the colony's industries. Again also, I am able to state that the provision made during last ses.-i m for ca^ylng on the public service has proved more than sufficient. The public accounts show a gross surplus of revenue over expenditure unparalleled in this colony. The volume of our exports, though slightly less in value, owing to the fall in price of certain grain and other products, shows by its larger bulk that the productive power of the country is steadily growing. The in flux of arrivals from the Mother Country and Australia has now assumed propor tions which have put beyond a doubt the complete termination oi the long and dis couraging exodus of people. The distress unhappily prevailing in several of the neighboring colonies has lately been sufficiently acute to cause my advisers to take stepa towards preventing destit utepersons from resorting to New Ze aland in search of employment. Though the number of such passengers arriving* in New Zealand has been small it must be remembered that our carefully restricted expenditure, and the low price of some of our produce, limit to a cartain extent the expanding power of the labor market. The passing away of the recent disastrous monetary panic in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland may be expected to enable these colonies, before very long, to once more absorb their own surplus labor. Ifc is with satisfaction that I notice that New Zealand has remained entirely unaffected by the extra ordinary panic just mentioned, an escape which affords emphatic testimony to the far-sighted prudence of your public and private finance during recent years j and as a tribute to the industry of our people and the confidence they have in the resources of the colony, the returns to be laid before you by the Lands Department will show how satisfactory has been the rate of genuine settlement during the past twelve months. You will be invited to give your most careful considerations to proposals dealing with the purchase of the Cheviot estate. My late adviser acquired the property in the interest at once of the public finance and the pro gress of settlement. It is the confident hope of my advisers that the outcome of the purchase will be the successful settle ment of a considerable territory in the centre of a district hitherto as remarkable for the scarcity of its population as for the attractions of its soil and climate. You will be asked to address yourselves at an early period of the session to the important task of reforming the native land laws, the complicated nature of which has in the opinion of my advisers retarded the progress of settlement. My Ministers are of opinion that this question must be grappled with, and laws enacted which will place the rights cf the Natives and Europeans on a just and equitable basis. Though the pur chase of native lands has been carried on during the last two years at a much more rapid rate than during the period imme diately preceding, my advisers are of opinion that the time has arrived wh en the large surplus area of a fertile land, held by the native race, should be used and occupied in such a manner as will add to the productiveness of the colony. To thia end bills will be laid before you, so drafted as to provide all reasonable safeguards for the interests of the present owners of these lands. In addition to this my advisers have come to the con clusion that certain areas of those native lands, which have hitherto escaped the burden of local taxation, should now be placed on the same footing as the hold ing* of European settlers. The improvement in the yield of our goldfields, upon which I congratulated you last year, has been further sustained in marked contrast to the returns of so m»ay recent years. Hon Gentlemen oe the Legislative Council, On the advice of my Ministers, I have added to your numbers twelve gentlemen of approved character and capacity ; and I trust that this addition to your numbers will add weight to your deliberations, energy to your actions, and strength to your constitutional position. Hon Gentlemen or the House of Representatives, The estimates of revenue and expendi ture will be laid before you. The esti mates of expenditure have been framed with strict regard to economy. The ex cess of receipts over the estimate under the Land and Income Tax Act has proved that tne expectations of my advisers were fully justified. Hon Gentlemen of the Legislative Council and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, Returns will be laid before you showing you the results of traffic in all branches of the [railways. You will be asked to assent to a Bill restoring to the represen tatives of the people a portion of the control which they formerly possessod over this important possession of the nation; The carrying on of public works during the last year has been notable for the success attending the system of co operative contract. The department of labor has succeeded in dealing with ex cellent effect with congestion of the labor market, wherever it has occurred. You will be asked again to consider the Electoral Bill, and to pass measures dealing with the extended jurisdiction of the Magistrates' and District Courts Bills will also be placed before you deal ing with municipal corporations, and the placing of banking institutions on such a basis as will afford greater financial security. The Conciliation and Arbitra tion Bill of last year has been revised, and will be laid before you at che earliest possible date, together with a bill in substitution for the present Shops and Shops Assistants Act. Several measures relating to the wage earners and workmen of the colony are ready :or your consideration. Amongst these are bills to amend the law relating to shipping and seamen, to further secure the wages of workmen, to repeal and amend the conspiracy laws bearing on trade disputes, to deal with "sweating" contracts, to, facilitate the collection of industrial statistics, and others. I ask you to give these matters your attention. I assure you of my earnest wish to aid your efforts for the well being of this colony, and I pray that your labors may, with God's blessing, tend to promote the happiness and prosperity of the people of New Zealand,

-: Crossbred Wheats. :- MESSRS JAMES OARTER & CO , of London, in 1882oommenceda course of experiments in the eross-fartiliaa tion of WHEATS of various kinds. It is well known that almost any variation of quality, character, form and colour, oaa be developed in Flowers and Vegetables by cross breeding, and fixed permanently by selection. Also in the shape of Turnips and Carrots and other roots, including in the case of Wheat, square or pointed ears, large or small grain, long or short straw, or almost any special quality that may be desired. With well selected parents cross-breeding imparts increased vigor in plants as well as in animals, and Wheat, being a self-fertilizing plant which is bred in-and-in year after year for generations, as is the case with most of our Wheats Crossing should have the effect of producing more vigorous and productive varieties. This seems to hare been confirmed by MsMM Carwr's experiments, who, after several years careful selections of the strains produced by crossing were successful in fixing the characteriptics of not less than 11 varieties of new Wheats, which they distributed in 1889 at necessarily ftney prices. The Farmers of this district may be congratulated on the fact that they can now obtain some of the best of these varieties from the undersigned. A full selection of the eleven sorts were obtained in 1890 by them and given to MR T. BEALT, of Riverbank, to experiment with. The following year another district was. chosen, and after very careful observation, discarded six out of the eleven as unprofitable. They then last year distributed the remaining five selections among farmers in different parts of this County, and were rewarded by excellent yields, this in the face of the very trying season they had to contend with. As may be supposed, th* varieties differ greatly in length and colour of straw, shape of ears, colour and size of grain, period of ripening, etc. For instance :*- Selection F is the earliest ripening Wheat in cultivation, and should prove a great acquisition in the district towards the Hills, sad in the South, where an early wheat is indispensable. Another variety, SiLaonoK G, produces straw of a short, stout description, which cannot be laid by rain or wind. This should be invaluable for sowing on moist land, which in the ordinary varieties of Wheat produces ' long straw, likelj to be damaged by wind and raid Other sorts, as SIUKmoV I, is practically unassailable by Birds, so that should these sorts come largely into cultivation our feathered tribes will not be able to levy their usual toll on the farmers' crops. Some writer ' has said there can be no best Wheat for all districts, but only for particular situations, soils, and climates, which the various sorts of Wheat are naturally adapted to. Ye would recommend our friends to obtain a sufioient quantity of seed of these Hybrid Wheats, and test the capabilities of them on their own land. This would undoubtedly lead to far-reaching results by bringing into general cultivation varieties of Wheat suited to the various soils of the district, of high quality, hardy, and robust in constitution, and a prolific character. The following will describe the five varieties we have to offer :— SELECTION !•-»A bearded wheat, prolific. It seems of the variety to sow late and harvest early* Straw, medium length, well headed. Valuable for late Spring sowing. SELECTION F-—An early ripening Wheat, even when sown late. Straw, medium length ; very long headed ; a valuable Wheat. ——-^—————~~ The chaff is furnished with stiff awns which seem to keep off birds and protect it also from wind. Bird sad Wind-proof Wheat. v ■ .. • .... ■ .■'.■■' SELECTION Q.—Straw, short and Btrong, not likely to be laid by wind or rain; heavy-headed and very prolific. Should prove ■ invaluable on lands which produce iQithe ordinary sorts straw so long as to be damaged by bad weather. Ihil is the "Tom Thumb "of the. wheat family. •SELECTION D'—Straw, medium length, strong, half-drooping babit; very well headed; very productive, and likely to prove a ""~"~-~~-"""■^~* valuable Wheat for general purposes. SELECTION B-—Straw, very long, strong, and white; ear a fair length, thick set; a very productive Wheat. For Fr/RTHKR Particulars, A*ply to FRIEDLANDER BROS.
