COMMERCIAL.

London. Jun^ 14 Sir Saul Samuel, Mr D« Gillies, Sir W. B. Perceval, Mr Hotson, and many exosrts, together with representatives of the leading frozen meat importing firms, inspected the Gothic's chilled meat. The general opinion was that this class of meat will always command a good market as it is nearly equal to the American article. Depositors in the Standard Bank have resolved to accept 2£ per cent interest now, provided the balance is paid in 1903, and no dividend paid to shareholders until interest on the deposits is paid in full. New Zealand Jong berried wheat, ex warehouse, 28a 3d ; South Australian wheat, ex warehouse, firm, 28s 6d; Victorian, steady, 28s 6d. New Zealand frozen mutton, first quality, 3.} d per lb; second, 3|d. Lamb averaged 4|d.

The Gothic's chilled mutton, 3Jd to 3£d. Jb'or wheat cargoes to arrive, sellers ask 25a 9d, buyers offer 25s 4d. The Bradford wool market shows a better spirit, and prices ace firmer. Adelaide, June 15 The liquidator of the Federal Bank of Australia obtained permission of the Court to remit a furtker £7000 to London, to pay another dividend of a shilling to the British creditors. This makes six shillings in the poend paid since the stoppage.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs. Friedlander and Co. report upon the live stock market:—With the last month a much stronger demand was notice able for all classes of young sheep ; more so for forward two-tooth crossbreds and good straight lines of lambs, and prices gradually went op. Last Tuesday, although only a small entry was yarded at the Ashburton fixture, nearly every line changed hands at an advance on the previous week's rates It ii evident that farmers are anxious to get their lands clear of turnips to enable them to pub in spring wheat, and are secu/ing suitable sheep for that purpose. Although they are at present paying full rates for them, we shoald not be surprised that good well finished freezing sheep will command a fair figure later on, and will pay for turnip ing. Lambs in sympathy with two-tooths have taken a decided jump, and a rice of quite two shillings per head can be quoted within the last month. Although there was not a large entry this week (the totals yarded being 3274 sheep 29 cattle and 12 pigs), there were some very good sheep sent fo ward, more especially in two-tooths and several lines of good lamb?. Prices for the former ranged from 9a 6d to 10s 6d } and for the latter 6* to 7s 6d. Our entry for the day consisted of 1536 sheep and 12 cattle, which we cleared at the following prices :■ — In batchers' pens we sold 32 merino ewes at 63 96% 56 fat crossbred ewes at 10s, 7 mixed cheep at 4s 9d. In stores we sold 48 small ] two-tooths (rather backward condition) at 6 s 430 two-tooths, mixed sexes at 93 SJ, 24? crossbred lambs 7s 6<J, 55 halfbred ewes in lamb 6s Sd, 598 halfbred lambs 6s ld, 150 age 4 ewes in lamb were passed in at ss. Baring the week we disposed of several lines of forward sheep at full market rates, also a line of 760 two-tooth freezers.

Brcwne be the members to retire at the end of the year.

Also to have the cutting on the Black ford Run road put in otder. The question of planting willows to protect the road infra the north Ashbarton at Mr Magmness' was postponed for one month, Ie was decided to form and shingle a p< rtion of the Abhburton River road near the old homestead, Springfield. The Clerk was Instructed to give not job to dear gorae on certain roads in the district Consideration of the question of placing the Board's funds on deposit was post* poned for one month, and it was decided to keep the Board's account at the Bank of New Zealand, Rakaia. Mr MacAvey applied for compensation for ex'ra work and material in hia contract for making and maintaining a cutting into the north Ashburton. —It was decided that the matter should stand over till the end of his time. Letters were read from the County Council forwarding cheque for birds' epgs; from the same, in reply to the Board, that the Council preferred destroying the birds by poison ; ftom F. Powell quoting price of poisoned grain. It was decided to procure twenty bushels of poisoned wheat from the Ashburton Drug Company. Accounts amounting to £33 lla lOd were passed for payment. It was decided to hold the Board's meet ings at 1 p m.

Imperial Politics.

European and Other Foreign Items

London, June 14 Lord Ripon states that his desire to follow the request of the New South Wales Parliament, and select as Governor of the colony a gentleman who has had experience in the Im perial Pftrliament and an official life, necessarily limits the field of choice. It is believed in political circles that Sir Arthur Hayter, M,P.. is willing to accept the position. The St Petersburg correspondent of the limes regards the Russo- < Chinese loan as the greatest stroke of i political finance since Lord Beacon field's coup in connection with the

purchase of Suez Canal shares in 1875. In the House of Commons Mr Chamberlain inquired the intentions of the Government with regard to the French expedition under M. D'cazes, which was officially declared to be lost, although it was really proceeding towards the Nile. Sir W. V. Har court, in reply, said that he deeply deplored the words used by Mr Chamberlain. The tone of his re marks would tend to provoke Prance, a friendly nation, and endanger the peace of the world. Washington, June 14 The Secretary of War has approved of plans for bridging the Hudson River from New York to Jersey city. The bridge is to be constructed with out piers, and is estimated to cost four and a half millions. It is to be com pleted in ten years, and will carry six railway tracks.
