Canterbury Chamber of Commerce.

At the quarterly meeting of th"» Canter- I bury Chamber of Commerce on Friday, the president, Mr G. Humphreys, in his Add ess said hat it was sa iifaotory to notice that although showing no signs of expansion trade stillcontimed in » sound condition ; that money waa plentiful and Cheap ro far as for investment on mort gages was concerned, bat the reverse was the case a* regards money for trading purpose*. The siiingency exercised by the banks for some time pa>-t had gradu ally been increasing until at the present moment the pressure in this respect waa having a m irked *ffct upon business generally. It was probably from a policy of extreme cant ion thafe this course was being pursued, but the question was whether it was not being carried out to »n unnecessary extent, at least fo far as this part of the color, y w»s con cerned, Ir, however, &poke volumes for the soundness of traders generally tßat hitherto they had been so well able to stand the strain of this revere finan cial cont actkn. Turning to the public finance the colony was to be congratu lated upon the great success attending the recent fl mating of the 3 per cent loan of £1,600,003. A great part of this "iuoo»s9"¥a'C ho doubV due to the able Colonial Treasurer whose presence in London not only favourably affected tb« fl Mting of the loan but no doubt helped to increase the confidence Home creditors have shown in the colony for some time past. It was to be hoped 'Ink this public confidence would favourably reflect upnn the commerce and industries < f the country generally, and it was pleasing to note from the cables of the last few days that the b/tpe of an upward turn in the prices of frozen meat was in a fair way of being realised Viewing the many influences at work affecting wool they c uld not help coming to the conclusion that a substan'ial and permanent improvement in this their greatest staple was at hand. Tallow a'so teemed to be making up for its long con tinued depression, and it was refreshing to be able to no*ice one decidedly bright ■pot in the commercial hotiz^n- the great advance in the price of wheat. In view of the possible export trade in live cattle the thanks of the gruziers and the colonists genr ally were due to the Go vernment for their promp 1" action in the <■ Penh'hire c»sa. He mentioned that

the committee would peek legislation next session tc remedy the prov:sion by which shareholder* of certain co-npera tiva nocieH«B work'n? under the Tndua rtikl and Pi ivident Societies Aofc could

withdraw Iheir capital whbn a socialy was on the ere of liquidation, and would »l*o endeavor to have a law parsed that an assignment of hock debtß would not b8 legal utfess ifc was registered.

Church Union.

Sydney, June 1 The Bey Prior Vaughan, who is on a visit to Sydney in connection with his mission for improving the condi tion of the masses, in the course of an interview, in referring to the proposed union of Eoman and Anglican churches said it was undoubtedly the sincere* desire of a large number of Anglicans to re-unite with Rome who, like a tender mother, invites her children to return ; but it was a mis take to think for a moment that she was going to abandon her majestic time honored throne, and shake hands all round with every sect and de nomination.
