Sydney, January 9 The city millers state that since the Premier announced the removal of the grain duties, wheat is coming in faster than they require and they now off.-* only 23 3d or 2d below the prices formerly paid. According to the Sydney Morning' Herald the experi ment of making the change in the duty in cereals this year is pretty well condamned in commercial circles. Mr Larke, Canadian Commissioner, states that there is a market for sugar on the west coast of the Dominion and thinks that ships .bringing timber from Puget Sound might profitably take back sugar. ;Ihere is also an opening for light fur skins used in glove making and rabbit skins. He thinks that there will be a good opening for taVo«\ With regard to the fruit trade he considers that Australia might follow the example of Californian fruit gowera. At present the packages were too heavy and the timber used unsuitable. This caused heavy charges for fruit. After he left Vancouver the market was restricted owing to the low price ruling for live sheep in Canada.

I took rheu matio fever and was a good while in the hands of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a oiutoh and stick, The doctor at last advised me to go to Christohurch and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there seemed no cure for me.

I can highly recommend it, as I believe it hai no equal. D; MACPHEB3ON.
