had bo opposed. Captain Rna^ell ad vocated a freefcrade policy which w;uld seriously disarrange the finances of the country, and he asked whether the Ictder of the Opposition would constno to Laving the revenue made up by direct taxation or a single tax on land. Government were endeavoring to frame a tariff that would last for some years, and ab the same time maintain a strong finance. He was of opinion that on the whole the alterations made in the tariff last nisjht were improvements. He combat! Ed Captain RuPsellV contention that the duty on ahirfcings meant increased duties on the poorer classes, and deiued ihut Mr Ward bad made any sash promise to Mr Bel! aa Captain Russell had asserted. As fco what Captain Russell had said about the increased duty on British made goods he (Mr Seddon) contended those wanted a British made suit ehoald not object to fche extra daty Captain Russell explained thab in the eeldenee of the Tariff Commission there was the testimouy of Mr Ball that ho had , a written and ve»ba' promise from Mr I Ward respecting the match duty Mr Waid said what he had p omieed to I Mr Bell was that Government would re- j commend to Parliament that no decrease should be made in the match duty In reply to Captain Russell, Mr Ward said the difference between the present tariff proposals and the former ones was on a fair estimate a sain to revenue of £4000.

Mr Thomas McKenzle said the gain would be more like £20,000. He defended the supporters of the late Mvjor AikinsoE from the aspersions cast on thqm by Mr Seddon respecting the tariff of 1888, and went on to ridicule Mr Seddon's asseition thafc the amendment proposed by him (Mr T. MeKenaie) respecting the duty on boots would give Government an extra duly. He could easily prove that, this statement was absolutely contrary to fact)

Messrs Bell and Wilson strongly re sented the remarks of the Premier in regard to Major Atkinson's supporters in regard to the tariff of 1888

Mr Millar combatted the Treasurer's assertion that there was an increase in revenue from Colonial beer. So far from this being so the oastom« returns showed colonial beer io be one of the steadiest Items the Colonial Treasurer had to deal with. He (Mr Millar) would use every means he knew when tho Bill was in Otmmittee to compel Government to faca this question of increased duty on colonial beer. He objected to machinery being admitted free, ani thought the duty should be increased on wines. The debate was interrupted by the 5.30 ad journment, i The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. Mr Hogg said that he was disappointed with the tariff, as it was neither for free trade nor protection Mr Duthie contended that the new tariff would produce an increased revenue of £50,000, Fe believed that many of tha alterations would cause great harm, bat he would do nothing to interfere with the Treasurer's finance

Major Stewaid thought that the Bill on the whole was a fair Bill, but it would have been better if the Government had brought ife down with the first sec of resolutions instead of submitting four different sets

Mr Morrison defended the encourage ment afforded in the tariff to the wax. match industry Mr McLaachlan, as a representative of » freetrade farmingeoramunity, contended that the tariff was framed for the express purpose of fostering local industry by means of high protective datiea Mr E. M. Smith held that they wanted mote manufactories in the colony, and he was g!ad to see (hat the Government were encouraging these industries

Mr Collins thought that the c >uncry generally would hail the amended tariff proposals with a large amount of satisfac tion

Mr G. W. Russell regretted that the Government had not increased the duty on beer and prohibited altogether the importation of prison-made goods, He moved as an amendment! that the sscond reading of Jie Bill be postponed till next sitting; d&y, a=? an indication that the excise duty on colonial beer be raised by Ijrd per gallon "The Speaker raled that a private mem- ( ber could not interpose to levy a du'y on beer ; that was assuming Ihe functions of a Minister of the Crown

Mr Rueaell then wished to move the adjournment of ihe debate, but tfce Speaker ruled that he could not do this, having already spoken on the Bill Mr Graham said that Mr MpKenzle last eyenlng had really caused the duty on boots, etc, to be ' increased. The Government had made such a mess of the tariff that they must fervently hope that they would never again be called on to revise the tariff

Mr Allen, Mr MeGowan, Mr Meredith, and Mr Button also spoke Mr Hone Heke moved an amendment that the alterations made in the Bill are unsatisfactory, inasmuch as in arranging the tariff excise, the duty on colonial beer is not taken into consideration.

Mr Ward replied. He promised to consult the Law Officers of the Crown as to whether a refund could legally be al lowed in the case of the duties which had been lowered and then increased, There ■Was no intention on the part of the $overn peht to collect the increased amount, but Wq law might have to be amended. From a'careful estimate he thought that the Government would have abont £4000 on the right side by their proposals. The Government could not accept Mr Heke's amendment

The amendment was lost by 36 to J6 eeccncl reading of the' Pill was parried on the voices. The Pouse rose at 1.5Q a.m.

COMMERCIAL.

lon don, September 17 The committee of the Bank of New Zea land shareholders have postponed their meeting, pending the issue of a statement , by the bank directors. I 'I he Warrigal'a bullocks averaged about , £20 The best of them brought £21 10s, London, September )8 Two hundred bullocks ex Southern Cross were sold at prices ranging from £11 103 to £17 10s. Ihe remainder were not offered, and will be put up at Deptford to-morrow. The best of the sheep brought 3a 3d per stone at Smithfield, and poor rough ones 2a 3d, 2s 4d, and 2s 6d per stone. Sonif butchers consider the sales show that it is impossible for Australia to successfully com pete In the live stock trade, while others say that the initiators of the American trade experienced heavier losses. The Mark Lane Express states that the mortality amongst the Southern Cross cattle i-howa that it is an unnatural venture, and cannot pay anyhow. It adds that the infamous cruelty to beasts caused by a pro tracted voyage ought to be suppressed. The total quantity of wheat and flour afloat for the United Kingdom is 2,160,000 quarters, and for the Continent 770,000 quarters. The American visible supply of wheat is 49,500,000 bushels. The New Zealand Shipping Company's shares are quoted at £4, Shaw-Saville and Albion Company £6.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Friedlander Bros., Limited, report upon the live stock market for the week ending September 19, as follows:—At the Ashbuiton yards last Tuesday there was an entry of 7654 sheep and 38 cattle. The sheep sent forward, taken as a whole, were a really firßt class lot. Ihe majority of the entry consisted of halfbred and three quarterbred hoggets, a few pens of two tooths in forward condition, and the balance were merino and crossbred ewes with lambs at foot. The butchers' pens were a credit to the district. Some really good merino wethera and ewes were yarded, and met with good competition Orossbreda were from medium to good, and a total clearance was effected rl he opening prices of the store sheep were fair, but aa the sale ad vanced several good lines of hoggets were passed in—evidently buyers were holding off, seeing'such a large yarding in this class. We know of several buyers being present who did notsupply their wants, preferring to wait to see how the weather will turn out. With a day or two of rain we feel certain that sheep will take a decided rise, looking forward to the fast advancing shearing season, and with the good Home report o* the advance in prices of wool. Our entry for the day waa 2719 sheep, 24 head of cattle, which we (with the exception of one line of hoggets and 100 merino wethers) cleared at the following peices :—34 merino wethers at 103, 136 merino wethers at 93 9d, 34 at 9s 6d, 9 at 9s, 1 crossbred ewe (fat) I6s 3d, 25 crossbred ewes 14a lOd, 20 shorn crossbred wethers Ms, 51 crossbred two tooth wethers 15s 9J. la stores—79 cross bred ewes with 100 per cent lambs at foot 123 9d, 43 hoggets at 9s sd, 42 halfbred ewes in lamb 10s 7d, 51 merino ewes in lamb 3s 9d, 300 crossbred two-tooths in forward con dition 12s 6d, 50 hoggets 9a 7d, 78 crossbred hoggets 4s 6d, 214 crossbred hoggets 6 Bd, 300 crossbred hoggets 9a 3d, 212 crossbred hoggets 10s 9d, 430 crossbred hoggets 83 lid, 60 crossbred hbgeets 3s 2d, 79 crossbred ewes in lamb 10s, 44 crossbred ewes with 100 per cent lambs 12s (jd.

VICTORIAN RAILWAYS

Melbourne, September 18 The Railway Board foqnd that the salaries and wages were in excess of those ruling outside of the department and on the British and American rail ways, whilst the salaries of the respon sible officers are lower. Pensions and compensations had imposed an extra ordinary burden on the revenue during 1894, and this year the payments under these heads reached £80,000. The Board found the service, as a whole, disorganised, if not demoralised. Th Qre were seven Associations established | with tfte avowed object of enabling their members to protect their rights and privileges. The effects of political influence were manifest throughout the system, and contributed to destroy discipline by averting punishment from tfiosG liable to dismissal for drunken ness and theft. The rates were not excessive, but were badly adjusted,
