Newcastle, November 5

The report that the new Simpton colliery is about to shut down, owing to slackness of trade, is premature. The management deny any intention of stopping work in the mines.

The New Hebridies Difficulty

Sydney, November 5

The Revs, Faton and Watt have arrived from New Hebridies. The former says there are rumours amongst the French residents that the islands of the group will be annexed by France before the end of the year. The French colonisation and trading companies are making strong efforts to extend the, Commercial relations, which, to his mind, points to an attempt by local Frenchmen to have the islands under the French flag. He says that it is of immense importance that the islands should remain under the British flag, as they complete the chain of British possessions in Australian waters. If France annexes the group, it will break the chain of secure harbors which would be of the utmost importance in the event of an international difficulty. Mr Watt views the matter in similar light.

LORD KINTORE

London, November 4 Lord Kintore has been appointed Lord in Waiting to the Queen.

COMMERCIAL.

Sydney, November 4 The millers have raised the price of roller flour to £10 10s. The rain has to some extent checked the upward tendency in fche produce market, but it is considered only temporary. Holders are very firm. Late rates in some lines-r ---notably oats, of which purchases are being mads from New Zealand—continue to ad vance.

At the wool sales the catalogue was chiefly of light free wools, which are decidedly firmer than last week. All good greasies are very firm and eagerly bought up. Burry and inferior sorts are completely out of favour. MfitBOUKNE, November 4 The largest shipment of butter, 78 tons, that ever left Australia, valued at £78,000, was despatched by the Ballarar. The Millers' Association has raised the price of the roller brand of flour to £10. Wheat continues very firm, and is quoted at 4«. Produce lines continue to advance. Melbocrne, November 5 At the wool sales yesterday competition was keen, and prices were very firm for all good sorts, as well as bulky ileces, even if somewhat; burry. Crossbrcis were not so eagerly sought after. Inferior and lambs' wool dragged, and rather lower prices were obtained.

London, November 4 The steamer Moori, from Australia, landed 163 head of cattle.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

Christmas bells will bring in family re union. Young and old look forward with great joy and it is the keenest endeavour of every one to pass this fete in the family circle When gathered round the Xmaa tree any absent member will be painfully missed, and a sigh given for those who are away. Nothing, however, interferes with the joy of Xmas more than if one of the family is stricken dowa with disease, and recovery to health for such member would no doubt be mostappreciated ofallChrismasfcpresents for the whole family. This valuable present will bs found in the timely employment of Warner's .Safe Cure, whereby sorrow would bo changed into joy. Nearly all diseases of the human body depend upon disorders of the kidneys, liver, and digestive organs, being the laboratory for the whole organism. Warner's Safe Cure is a sure and reliable remedy for the cure of these disorders, and ensures good I health.

Follow the example of Mrs S. G. Cox, of Pepper Grove, Bacchus Marsh, Victoria. She «aya: "I was taken suddenly ill and called in our doctor, who attended me for three months without doing me the least good. He then informed me that I was suffering from chronic disease of the kidneys, and that having administered every kind of medicine likely to be o£ any service, without any improvement, he considered it would be useless to continue his attendance. At th»t i time I was completely wasted away, and in j such a helpless state that I could nob leave ;my bed. I then pommej ( c3d, through the advice of friends; taking Warner's Safe Cure. The effects which followed were marvellous. I can now look back and say : * If it had nolbeen for this mpdicine I should have been in my grave.' To those suffering from kidney disease, I earnestly advise them to give Warner's Sale Cure a trial before trying anything else.'
