The English wheat market has a strong tone and prices remain unchanged. Both the Ameiican and the Continental markets have an upward tendency. At the sales of Australian sheep-skins the competition was weak Best merino cross breds brought prices on a par with December rates j othero showed five per cent decrease. Over ninety thousand Australian rabbits are atored by a' London syndicate, and are selling at BJd each. Sinclair, the Victorian produce agent, states that holders of Hirer Plate . mutton have lowered the price of frozen meat to 2£d with the object of excluding, the Gulf of Siam's shipment There is a large market for rabbits and hares in Manche ter, and Sinclair hopeß to obtain a share of the butter trade despite of Danish competition. He »!bo expects a good business in fruit and poultry. Mr Colledge, who is interested in the direct trade between Manchester and Australia, regards the absence of the London ring as a hopeful augury of the success of the trade.

Prices range' from 4s ] lsd to 5a OW. New Zealand oat3 have been placed at 2s 6d in bond. BUTTER AND FROZEN MEAT. Melbourne, February 3 The Government dairy expert estimates that the export of butter to London will be short about 2000 tons compared with that of last year, representing a loss of £160,000.

An Auckland Press Association telegram states that the prospects of our farmers and settlers at present aro encouraging. Repre sentatives of Melbourne and Sydney houses are there with the view of purchasing the gathered crops on the spot for cash, either by the ton or iu stack. Some owners in the south of Auckland had a tempting offer made for all their oaten sheaves standing, but although the prices were looked upon as very good and profitable, the growers wished ■ to ascertain yesterday's auction quotations, with the result that they do not feel inclined I to sell without an increase in the amount, j

SYDNEY GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET.

A local merchant (says the Oamaru Mail) hat received advice from Sydney that, owing to large stocks held and % heavy shipment on top of them by the sis. Rotokino, the market for New Zealand old oats has collapsed. His correspondent adds that our new oats must be very low if they are to compete this season with the enormous maize crop, the first of which is just coming to hand. He expresses an opinion that both New Zealand oats and wheat will have little outlet this season in Sydney, except at low prices. As regards potatoes, , the pretent high price will not continue, as when Circulars are ready the price must come down, and the Circulars will be ready for market by the time New Zea land Derwents are ripe. He still anticipates a fair season for consignments.

THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.

DISORDER IN JOHANNES-

BERG.

London, Jantnry 31 Mr Chamberlain has ordered Sir Jacob" De Wet, the British Agent in Pretoria, to enquire into the alarming reports as to the disorder prevailing at Johannesberg, and expresses confi dence that if such exists President Kruger will soon take steps to remedy the evil.

Mr Cecil Rhodes has instructed counsel for the defence of Dr Jameson and party and himself in connection with the Transvaal difficulty. "The Times" states that in an interview President Kruger said he was willing to meet the Uitlanders over the questions oE education and municipal government, but would not promise that there would be an ex tended franchise. He expected them to remain loyal, or otherwise they would be swamped.

London, February 2 Mr Chamberlain discredits the tele gram from Johannesberg, published by the "Times" to the effect that the residents are reduced to a state of serfdom-

The World Run Way From Us.

5 The other day we had a talk with ain id t who knew as lit tie o* the v. orld aroind him t»s a baby. Yet- he wus a mnu of imtiirnlly | a<.Q inifUigeDCP. He had jusl leen tehtsvt-d ij from priaon. Ten years ngo ho was iuc«r ceiated under a life sentence. Recently, however, circumsi.au cea had arisen which proved hit* innocence, and he obtained his freedom, Bu«. nothing 'teemed as before. Me had been stationary whi-e tho world moved on. Many of his old fri.-nds were •lead, and all were changed. A big slice of hid career was losr, and wnr.-e than lost. Could he over mßko ii; up? .No, never. Bonides, although he hiui committed no rffence, the more fact thab he hod been con vicicd of one, would always place him au a disadvantage. Lifferent as it is in all outward conditions long iliness produces results which resemb-e those of enforce) solitude. When confined to our homes by disease we are virtually out, of the world Friends may, and do, pity us ; but they do not lie down by our side and suffer with us. Ah ! uo. They go their own ways and leave us alone. In the midst of company we are still alone. Enjoyment, food, sleep, fresh air, movement, work, &c. — those are for t/tcm, not for us. Alas? for the poor prisoner whose jailor is some relentless disease. Who shall open the iron doors and set him free ?

[ "I never had any rest or pleasure." So writes a man whose letter we have just finished reading. " In ' the early part of 1888," he says, " a strange feeling came over me. I felt heavy, drowsy, languid, and tired. Something appeared to be wrong with me. and I coutdn t account for it. I had a foul taste in the mouth, my appetite failed, and what I did eat lay on me like a stone. Soon I became afraid to e&t as the

act was always followed by pain and dis tress. Sometimes I had a sensation of chok ing in the throat as if I could nob swallow. I was swollen, too, around the body, and got about with difficulty owing to increasing weakness.

"At the pit of my stomach was a hungry, craving sensation, as though I needed sup port from food ; yet the little I took did not abate this feeling. My sleep was broken, and I awoke in the morning unrefreshed. For jour years I continued in this wretched state before 1 found relief."

Thia tetter is signed by Mr Charles H. Smith, of 10, New City Road, Glasgow, and dated February lu'h, 1893.

Before we hear how he was at last de

livered from the slavery of illness, let us listen to the words of a lady on the same theme : Mrs Mary Ann Rusting, of Station Road, Miaterton, near Gainsborough* In a brief note dated January 3, 1893, Mrs bus ling says she suffered in a similar way for over fifteen years. Her hands and feet were cold and clammy, and she was pale and bloodless. She had pain in the leftside and palpitation, and her breathing was short and hurried. No medicines availed to help her until two years ago. 'At that tima,' she says, *our minister, the lateKev Mr Watson, told me ofMothe- Seigel's Curative Syrup, and urged me to make a trial of it I did so, and presently felt great relief. It was not long before the bad symptoms all left me, and I gradually got strong. I keep in good health, and have pleasure in making known to others the remedy which did bo much for me." Mr Smith was complete'y cured by the same remedy, and says had he known of it sooner he would have been saved years of misery. The real ailment in both these cases was indigestion and dyspepsia, with the natural consequences. Throughout the civilised word its oourse is marked by a hundred forms of pain and suffering. Men and women are torn to pieces by it as vessels are by the rocks on which they ore driven by tempests So comprehensive and all-embrac ing is it that we may almost say that there io no other disease. It signifies life trans formed into death, bread turned into poison. Watch for its easiest signs — especially the feeling of weariness, languor, and fatigue, which announce its aproaoh Prevention is better than cure. But, liy the use of Mother Seigel's Cura tive -"yrup, cure is always possible ; and poor captives in the loathsome dungeons of illness are daily delivered aa the hand of the good German nurse swings open the doors.

He got bo bad thst I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing oondition and beoame so weak that he could scarcely stand. I earefnly followed the direc- tions on the bottles and shortly after gett- ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at onoe began to mend, and in a few days was fit for his work, lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal. — Wiucuic Stmnghsllow.- Lauriston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine,— Sir, I think it is only right that I should tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Bemediea I got from yon. After seeing the state of the stomaob of my horea that died, I beoame alarmed about the reßt of my Btook as they all looked bad, I arenohed eight, following carefully the direc- tions, It oleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I oan highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in dreaobing their Btook lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I believa it to be tbe only safe and owtain oure for the suffering of horses James Lkhon Ashburton Forks, Maroh 1, 1894 Mr J Heaeltine.

He was ailing for some days, his ooat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at tbe nose and a very bad oongh ; and was soaroely able to walk about; we quite ezpeoted he would die. I heard a. good deal about Walker's Bet Fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly after he get the last bottle he began to im. prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medioine unequalled, and oan reoommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market.

In England, the Continent, and many foreign countries myself and wares are well known. Many American families on- their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these.

The cure is so small in it- self, and yet its comfort to you is so great — twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes — -that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, in the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as IDb Haydock's New Livke Pill.
