Chamber of Commerce

The annual meeting of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce was held yester day. The retiring President, Mr G. T. Booth, in his address, dealt solely with the currency question, and in the course of along speetoh, expressed the opinion that the world wide depression of the last few years was due to the demonetisation of silver and the appreciation of gold. It waa a fact beyond gainsaying that gold had appreciated owing to the demoneti sation of silver twenty years ago ; and the consequent contraction of the money basis was also beyond doubt. The disparity between the two sides of equation —commodities and money—had been grow ing wider year by year, a growth which the annual production of gold and the adoption of the most liberal economising expedients had been inadequate to check. As the expansion of the money basis inflates profits, and so stimulates inter priae ; raises prices and wages, and con duces to prosperity ; so its contraction or fat ure to keep up with the demand acts prejudically on prices, profits, and wages, paralyses enterprise, blocks the wheels of progress, constrains the energies of the community, and in conjunction with other unfavorable conditions, from whatever sause arising, may at any moment bring about mercantile and financial disaster, panic, and prostration. He did not believe all our troubles were due to the demonetisation of silver, nor that its rehabitation would bring Instant prosperity, but he did believe that its restoration to the rank of a basis of money would check the appreciation of gold, arrest the fall in prices, lighten the burden of debts and fixed charges, place all producers, of whatever nationality, on a fair and equitable footing by removing the cause of disturbance in exchange between gold and silver countries. It would give a fillip to enterprise and productive energy, and so confer benefits on all those who were living on the fruit! of present industry. Among its secondary results would be tha allaying of discontent j among the labor class on the one hand, and the corresponding revival of confi dence on the side of investors. The return to prosperity would not be by *' leaps and bounds," and the price level of ' the early fifties and the early seventies would probably not be approached, but the reaction from despondency would be unmistakable, and all would speedily start on the upward grade. He thought that the colony should join with Conti nental nations and the United States in urging England to adopt bimetallism. Mr G. Humphreys was elected President for the ensuing year. The Dunedin Chamber forwarded copies of a resolution passed in reference to the financial proposals of the Government, It was resolved to reply that the Chamber could not discuss the maiter because party political feeling would be introdaced.

UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When ovef fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when forced to a great degree Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely fa water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened. —-Goulding.

HoiiOWAY's Pills and Ointmekt—The most effectual Cure for Gout and Khemutiem —A frequent cause of these complaints is the inflamatory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion, lassitude, and great debility, showing the want of a proper cir culation of the fluid, and that impurity of the blood greatly aggravates these disorders. Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses taken in time are an effec tual preventive against gout and rheumatism but anyone that has an attack ot either should use Hollaways Ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effects of the Pills, ensure a certain cure. The Ointment should be thoroughly -rubbed into the parts affected at least twice a day, after they have been sufficiently fomented with warm water to open the pores to fac iliate the introduction of the Ointment to the ylftods
