xa:i?a«ss \ Sydney, Januaiy 19 The lemon growers of Italy are becoming formidable rivals to the local growers. Between the local j seasons two or three hundred cases are received from Italy every third week, realising 22s 61 to 25s per case. Even at the most unfavorable part of the season the price rarely descends below 18s, winch is a considerable advance on the price for Sydney lemons. Vlntorion Fo»iticN. Melbourne, January 19 In the Legislative Assembly Mr W. A. Trenwith, one of the labor members, moved that in order to prevent sweat ing in connection with Government contracts, it was the duty of Govern ment to prescribe a minimum v'age, and state it in the contracts. The motion was accepted by the Govern-1 merit and carried without dissent. The Land Act Amendment Bill and Referendum Bill have been discharged from the order paper. The House meets specially on Mon day to deal with the railway rates on a motion for reduction by 20 per cent. Tiie Bank of Victoria, Melbouene, January 19 The Bank of Victoria has declared a dividend of five per cent for the half year on annual preference shares, and carried forward £7000, Tli© Zone System. Sydney, January 19 The Daily 2degraph, which has advocated the zone system on railways for many years, regards the intro duction of the zone system in New Zealand for the carriage of fruit as a sudden transition on altogether too comprehensive a scale. It would have preferred to see the experiment tried on some scale of graduation. However, it will be watched with interest. SAMOA; Sydxey, January 19 Mr Cusack Smith, British Consul at Samoa, has arrived here on his way to England. According to Samoan papers, it is an open secret that Mr Smith is unlikely to return. Sydney, January 18 During the voyage of the ship Oockermouth from England a terrific explosion occurred in the forepeak. resulting in the instantaneous death of the cook, named Jones. It is supposed he struck a match, which caused an explosion of gas generated by the anti f ruling composition. Colonial Oredif. r Melbourne, January 18 The Argus points out that, whereas five years ago Victorian 4 per cent. Stock was quoted 11J per cent higher in London than in Melbourne, now the quotation is Q\ por cent higher in Melbourne than in london. The obvious i; feivnce, therefore, is that, ilie time has arrived when an An#lo- Australian rather than an English market in Australian securities should be established. Belter still, it says, would be lh« formation of an inter national market, whereby Paris and Berlin, as well as London, could co operate with Melbourne and Sy.Jnry. The Argus adds, when the Australian Governments' credit emerges from its present trials it will be held in higher esteem than ever, and render it possible to internationalise securities. In the. meantime investors in such securities can ao much better by buying in London tli"n in colonial centre*, and theieby help to restore colonial credit to its old high position. . ■»!
