Mr R. McKergie looked upon the Bili as an Insignificant one so far as ths min ing Industry was concerned, and believed tint it was meant reaMy lo assist Mr Ziman. He compkinei that the Govern ment did not give that assistance to the miningindustry that it deserved. The Premier said that unless private 1 enterprise were introduced it would be impossible to properly develope the gold fields, The Government had not the necessary capital. The proposal to turn the unemployed from the large towns indiscriminately loose on the goldfields was absurd He knew experienced miners 'W>ho could not earn 30s per wepk on the goldfields and he believed tha- fhe unem ployed would not earn 30d. Men like Mr Ziman should be encouraged in the mining Industry. Mr Guinness regretted to have to say that the mining community had not re ceived that encouragement they had a right fco expect from fche Government When the present Ministry was formed the expectation of the miners was high, but it had not been realised. The falling off in the number of men on the goldfields on the West Coast was proof positive that the industry was not being developed. Sir Robert Stout believed that the Bill would be the means of opening up large tracts of mineral land in the northern parts of the colony, He objected, how ever, to the forfeiture proposals

COMMERCIAL.

London, September 11 The quantity of wheat; and flour afloat for fche Unifced Kingdom is 2,280,000 quarters, and for fche Continent 790,000 quarters. The Lindisfarne's cargo of Victorian wheafc sold at 235.

The Southern Cross, which has arrived at Graveaend, lost alfcogetherfif ty-two bullocks, eighty-two sheep, and one horse. The rest arrived in good condition. The supply of fodder was just sufficient for the voyage. The mortality ia due to exposure and heavy w«ather round Cape Horn, also to over crowding. Only three of the bullocks on the upper deck died. About 70 per cent, of the Southern Cross cattle arrived in good condition, the remain der arrived poor. Some regard the shipment at too old. Experts believe that the mortality was largely due to rough handling in Sydney and advise that furthei care should be exer cised in shipping beasts. Eight of Mr Bergyl'a cattle by the South ern Cross, one of Mr Dogan's, and three of Mr Loader's died. The mortality was greatest amongst the Durhams. The Here fords did fairly well, and the Devons admir ably. The horses tared well, and will be turned out to grass at Thames Haven.

Ike Tims, discusssng the shipping of live cattle, considers the experimental stage has been satisfactorily passed, and that the trade has formally begun. Melbourne, September 12 The Age, commenting on the practice of holding simultaneous wool sales in London and Australia, says that the former are so arranged that to a considerable extent they enter into direct competition with those of Australia, and the rivalry has been accen tuated lately by increasing those in London from four to six. The Australian sales open ing in October dcil with the new clip, while the bulk of the offerings at the fifth and sixth London series are old wools, and fche prices obtained for the latter influence largely local bidding. The interest of the London dealers is to reduce prices to the lowest point in the hope that growers will be dissatisfied, and, instead of selling locally, ship to Lon don. The piper strongly advocates a better arrangement, and suggests as a compromise the abandonment of the London November and December series, and fche first sale to be fixed for February. 'I his, it is believed. would reduce the hurtful competition and place both markets on a sounder footing.

The Drought.

Sydney, September 12 Atmospheric disturbance has de veloped over the great Australian bight, which both "the Government astronomer and Mr Wragge state has greatly improved the prospects of the forecast. Rain will probably fall generally in a few days. Sydney, September 13 Port Jackson swarms with immense shoals of herrings at present, supposed to be due to the saltness of the water, owing to the want of rain.

ASHBURTGN-THURSDAY.

(Before His Honor Judge Ward). IN CHAMBERS. Probate.—-Ate Neil Kay, deceased.—On the application of Mr Purnell, probate was granted to Elizabeth Bardon, the executrix. Re John Corbett, deceased. On the application of Mr Crisp, probate was granted to Daivid Thomas and Richard Minnis, the executors. FRIDAY. IN BANKRUPTCY. The following applications were granted : Re H. E. Adams—Order for discharge ; Mr Wilding. Re S. Holland, W. Sutherland, and D. Kerr—Orders for discharge; Mr Cuthbertson. Be H. E. Adams—Order for assignee's costs ; Mr Wilding. Public Examination.

R* Cleveland Condell Ross.—Mr Wilding, instructed by Mr Cuthbertson, for the assignee ; Mr Crisp for debtor. Cleveland Condell Ross, examined by Mr Wilding, said he commenced business as a farmer on March 1, 1893. Had been on the farm four years. The farm was 272 acres, the freehold was vested in his wife. During the four years the stock and implements belonged to his wife. Had been married about five years. His wife had no property when she married, and acquired none from others than himself. She acquired the land after marriage. It had been sold by the Assignee in Friedlander's estate under a second mortgage. The stock, etc., was sold under the same circumstances. There was no surplus for his wife. While farming, did not tell his creditors every thing belonged fco his wife, although he had mentioned it casually. Had nothing himself but what he expected to get out of his lease, above his rent of £120 per annum, Had had no experience of farming. Attended the local race meetings twice a year—one at Tinwald and one at Ashburton. Did not attend Christchurch races unless there on other business, perhaps once a year. Only attended one trot. Only betted on a very small scale in half crowns and five shillings. Very seldom left the farm at all, or stayed in ho'els. Some of the items duo to hotel keepers were for money to pay current wages* In 1892 from February to June, the £15 paid to hotelkeepers was chiefly for cheque's cashed for petty cash. £6 10s to Digby was for beer supplied to the houso. Drummond's £5 was for liquor supplied. Stone's would be partly for cash lent. McGregor cashed some cheques for him. Never had a bet with him ha his life. Did not keep any accounts ; trusted to his bank book. Kept the bank account in his own name, although everything on the farm was in his wife's name Paid all his receipts without exception into the bank account. All he received from April to October, 1894, was £80 19s, and from October to November £13 12s 31. Had no source of income other than the farm. Theaosutns probably came from the sale of his wife's property. The Assignee sold the land at Ashburton sale, and the plant at Westerfield. Might have received £20 on Mrs Ross' account after the Ashburton sale. Had received several sums in this way since the bankruptcy, amounting to between £20 and £30. Had given it to Mrs Ross. Had had about £1 per week back for personal expenses. Owed Mr Berryman £7 8s for clothing from March, 1894, to March, 1895. Had no property when he ordered a suit fur £6 5s in March, 1895, and owed more than he could ever hope to pay himself. Showed Mr Berryman a sample of barley when ordering the clothes. Did not tell him he would pay when the {barley was sold ; simply said he hoped fche barley would fetch a good price. Did not tell Berryman it be longed to Mrs Ross.

By Mr Crisp—Mrs Ros< had to raise £1300 in 1892 on mortgage, which left a balance of £250, which was used to stock the farm. £800 was raised on second mort gage, and spent) in draining and paying debts. Was solvent when he leased the farm in 1893-4. The harvest was a com plete failure. Should have had £100 after paying rent if it had turned out well. To carry on Mrs Ross had to guarantye Fried lander's account; In 1894 5 the harvest was a partial failure. Lost heavily this year on stock. The farm was in splendid working order at end of 1894. Realised for himself about £7 for his year's work. Lost heavily on pigs, which had been bought to eat in ferior barley on hand. Broke his arm in

two places in 1893, and had suffered severely at times. Was also internally in jured and would have to undergo an opera tion soon. This necessitated keeping spirits in the house. His expenses since bank ruptcy had been about £1 per week. The land and stock sale was not sufficient to pay Friedlander's liability, the guarantor had to make up £100. Bankrupt here read a letter from Craighead and Berryman, soliciting an order for clothes. His Honor remarked this was nine months previous to the order being given. Bankrupt said he had told the firm then he did not feel justified in giving the order.

His Honor then read over his notes to Bankrupt which tbe latter signed. Kir Crisp asked if his Honor would declare the examination closed under subsection 6 of socticn 124 of the Bankruptcy Act. His Honor declined to dq so The Court then adjourned.

CAN'T DODGE A U LD.

Colds laugh at an umbrella, top coats, or heavy boots } the chill and dampness of the foggy weather courses through even the heaviest clothing. There is not a nun, woman or child in Australia but who occassionally has a cold. You do not always know how you get it, but everyone knows that severe colds are the forerunner of half the human ailments. The feet get cold, the head hot, circulation becomes unequal, the kidneys become irritated, the liver torpid, the bronchial tubes inflamed, or the excesi of uric acid in the blo«d is arrested and the accumulation causes acute rheumatic pains. The first shiver, or sneeze, or chilly sensa ! tion you feel procure a bott!e of Warner's Safe Cure, the timely use of which will save you from these menacing developments resulting from a cold. It quickens the cir culation, and the kidneys cannot become inactive under its use. It enlivens the liver, and the bile cannot accumulate in excess. It kills fche germs of the cold, and acts promptly in allaying inflammation Mr F. Cobcroft, miner, Newcastle, writes : 81 Having caught a severe chill while work ing in the coal mines in this neighborhood, alarming symptoms developed, and I became ve>y ill. The attack ultimately settled in the kidneys. The urine became of a deep red color, depositing a brick-dust sediment. I suffered excruciating pains in the back, and periodically in the region of the heart. My limbs at last became quite numbed and almost useless. Becoming alarmed, I ob tained the advice of a doctor, who said I had inflammation of the kidneys. He prescribed medicines which, however, did me no good. I was about to call another doctor when a

mate of mine urged me to take Warner's Safe Cure. Accordingly, I used ten bottles, and two bottles of Warner's Safe Pills, after which I became quite fit to follow my work as of old, and have continued to do so ever since. My cure is complete."
