COMMERCIAL.

London, August 15 Owing to the demand from the pro vinces and the shortage of the American supply, the glut of frozen meat is clear ing. The quantity of wheat and flour afloat for the United Kingdom is 2720.000 quarters, aiid foe the Continent 1,230,000 Shares Union Shipp'ng Company £8, New Zealand Shipping Company £3 os. The Tainm's m. afc arrived in excellent condition, but there la no room in the stores for it. Mr Young, the agent for the South Australian Government, is convinced as to the result of his enquiries into the Ger man restrictions against colonial meat that they will not prevent a good trade from being established.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports upon ihe live stock market for the week ending, August 14, aa follows:—On Tuesday at the Ash burton yards, the usual weekly sale was held. The attendance waß good, and buyers were keen on securing good hoggets to hold over until after shearing, whilst poor lots suffered a little on late sale. A few lines of merino ewes of inferior quality came for- , ward, and the prices obtained could not have left a profit to the vendor. Freezing sheep«—ln this class of stock a new arrange ment has been made. The Hale is opened with butchers' fat aheep, freezers following immediately afterwards. This has been done so that buyers of sheep for shipment will be able to leave the yards much sooner than formerly. The day's yarding consisted of 4332 sheep, 33 head of cattle, and 22 pigs, of which my entry was made up of 1986 Bheep, 13 head of cattle, 3 nigs, at the following prices:—lo3 fab merino ewes 7s, 80 fat merino ewes 6s 6d, 18 six-tooth cross breda 14s, 70 four-tooth 12a 6d, 83 merino ewes ss, 213 crossbred ewes in lamb 4s 6d, 266 hoggets 7s 7d. 490 hoggets 9s 2d, 70 hoggets Bs, 235 hoggets, very good, 11s sd.

THE SNOW.

" Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow." The initial line of Mrs Sigourney's charming poem expresses iha almost universal senti ment which is evoked by a fall of snow in a i sunny clime like that of New Zealand,' where the long and severe winters of older and colder countries are altogether unknown. The Canterbury colonial knows little of snow, and when perhaps at intervals of three or four years we are yisited by a fairly heavy fall, there is re joicing in all quarters, and it is difficult to Bay who are the most pleased—4he younger or the older members of the community. To the youth it affords an opportunity of indulging in the glorious sport of snow balling, and to the older and more sedate it brines back, more vividly than anything else possibly could, their young days in the old country. It is a chance which is not given every day, and the old party draws his chair up to the fire and tells, as his eyes kindle at the recollection, of his boyhood's days-—of the severity of the Home winters— of the Merry Xmas time—of the monster snow men which, erected at the first heavy fall, never thaw, till the fine weather comes again — of the skating all the way to school and the great times on the frozen ponds and lakes— freshens up his young listeners' history by referring to the time when the Thames was frozen over, a fair held on the ice, a bullock roasted, and all the other incidents of that piece of chilly history. It does him good to talk of these things, and little recks he, if in wending his way along the thorough fares he should get one of these chilly balls on the neck which sends the water triokling down his back. From any other cause he would wax wroth at such frivolity, and would probably endeavour to show the offender up at Oouro; but a snowball, he shrugs his shoulders, turns up his coat collar and passes on murmuring " I'd have done the same myself." Snow fell just before ten o'clock last night, and when the play was over at the Odd fellows' Hall—about half past ten —the audience on entering the street had to face a heavy snow storm, and the ground was already well covered. The fall continued with short intervals for several hours, and when the morning came there was a coating on the level of over three inches; A pretty sight indeed ! Paddocks, bridges, trees—all clothed in Nature's purest mantle The branches of the pines, the gorae hedges were all weighed down with a thick cover ing of snow, and the icicles hanging from the tips gave them a most picturesque appearance. With the morning, however, came a clear sky, and the sun, while in creasing the dazzling effect for a time, began its work of raising the temperature, and these beauties like " The anowflake in the river A moment seen, then gone for ever," disappeared almost as quickly as they came. It was not to be expected that the town boys would allow such a darling opportunity to pass without having their fun. The snow balling commenced last night (as the fre quenters of the Oddfellows' Hall found to their cost on emerging into the open), and even before this Professor Beaumont, true to his youthful instincts, having finished his performance, could not resist the temptation and sent a ball flying on to the stage, narrowly missing the shapely head of Miss Bel Ponsonby. Notwithstanding the late hour the sport was extensively carried on. Eventually it ceased because there was no one to be snowballed, but that merely meant an adjournment till morning, when it was renewed with great vigor. 'I'he s ronghold appeared to be Burnett street, and there the passer by, either on foot or iv a vehicle, could be asaured of a ceaseless shower of snowballs from the Somersec to the Arcade, i and the unfortunate part of it, for him, was that most of the boys after a little practice became expert shots, and could shift fche hat of the luckless pedestrian with little diffi culty. There were several reasons for this massing of forces in Burnett street. The roofs of the shops opposite to the Somerset were not only the receptacles of large drifts of snow, but were very accessible, and af forded ample barricade against all assailants. At the lower end of East street a few of the most enthusiastic concentrated their energies with the result that a very substantial and fairly presentable snow man has been erected on the railway plantation at the top of Moore street. Eor all practical purposes the day was more like a geaeral holiday, young and old giving themselves up to the fasci nating pastime. As the day wore on and the snow began to melt, the balls were too hard to throw without danger, and the young fellows in a manly spirit gradually desisted, but the memory of this day will remain with them for many years. We hear that six inches of snow fell at Methven and all over the hill districts.

"Shaking" a Horse.

" The Adventure* of« My €l*arli*." I _ MMHW 1 At the Police Court this morning—Messrs David Thomas, T. E. Upton, and W. G. Rees, J'P.'s on the Bench—Thomas Scott was brought up on two charges: one the larceny of a horse, saddle, and bridle ; the other the larceny of a pair of nickell silver stirrups—all the property of William Hous ton, Sergeant Moller asked leave to with draw the first charge, as the horse had not been kept by defendant but had merely been used, and then turned adrift. Leave to withdraw was granted, and the second charge was proceeded with. Defendant pleaded guilty to having taken , the stirrups, but had had no intention of keeping them. On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, he had taken a horse from the Royal hotel stables, which he thought belonged to a friend of his named Oass. On arriving home he found that he had made a mistake, and had turned the horse loose to find its way home. The stirrups he had kept in order that they Bhould not be lost as one had already fallen off, intending to give them to the owner. William Houston said that he had been in formed that his horse, My Charlie, was on the road and he had thus found it on Monday. He hadbeen put to considerable incoDvinience, as his horse had been entered for the Tinwald sports and when he recovered it, it showed signs of having been badly knocked about, i and was consequently very stiff. ' The Sergeant said accused bore a good j character, and was well known in Ashburton Mr Thomas said the Bench were very sorry indeed to see a young man brought up in the way accused had been put himself in such a position. Had the police gone on with the first charge accused would probably have got about two years* The Bench had made up their mindß that these sort of larrikin tricks must be put down, The Bench would not send him to gaol, as they bad power to do, but would fine him £2, order him to pay £2 to Houston, with costs 14s, and advised him to be careful what he did in future, He would also be allowed a month in which to pay the fine or in default three months' imprumuneot*

William Cauty, a Canadian by birth, was arrested at Chicago on July 18, aftet a savage fight with a policeman. The prisoner by his own confession was an emissary from the Hatter's Union 33, Chicago, to assassinate President Cleveland, because, in the opinion of the members, the administra tion of which he is the head had brought upon the country hard times, under which thecountry,and particularly his trade,were suffering. Cauty had no funds to proceed to Washington, and was found robbing a women in order to obtain money when he was arrested. A despatch from Shanghai gives addi tional details as to the assault by Japanese soldiers on July 17 on the British Consul at Corea, which resulted in the landing of thirty British blue jackets to guard the British Legation.

The Consul's wife was pushed mto a ditch and the Consul stopped and ill-treated because he was seeking to pass the Japanese sentries and enter a bivouac of the troops.
