CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Yesterday's Lyttelten Times reports: — Th» grain market still continues quiet and virtually nothing was done yesterday. Holders of wheat Jncline to the opinion that the surplus m this cereal has been 'very much over-estimated, and decline to Believe that there will be much to export »fter the wants of the colony for food and seed are. satisfied. Consequently they re main firm m their demands, and as these »re higher than buyers care about con ceding, except for urgent requirements, the quantity changing hands is extremely limited. Although an easier feeling ia prevailing m most classes of oats, the better sorts, including milling and gooc stout feed are extreriiely scarce, and thest command full quotations.

FEDERATION.

Melbourne, June. 30 On behalf of New South Wales, South Austral n, Tasmania, and Vic toriafMr Turner has expressed to Mi- Nelson a raosb earnest desire that Queensland should adhere to the arrangements agreed to at the Hobar*; Conference m regard to the election of federal delegates by the direct vjte of the people, instead of by Parliament. He points out that any variation from that method will weaken the prestige of the Convention, and imperil the achievement of federation. Bbisbibe, Juno 30 Mr Ne'son, m moving the second reading of the Federation Bill, said he was certain that the colony would be better represented by the method proposed than by a general election with the colony as one electorate.

The Raboit Question

— ♦— - The following is the text of the peti tion to Pailiamenfc which was adopted afc the meeting of pastoralists and others, bold m Titniru last Saturday : — The humble petition of Charles Gnorge rripp, of Woodbuty, Geraldlne, Crown tenant, and the other undersigned, being Crown tenants and ratepayers and residents m Canterbury, sheweth I—That1 — That about the year 1887 the Govern ment erected a rabbit-proof fence from Mount Cook through the Mackenzie Country. 2— That the effect of this fence on the Crow n lands was that m the year 1888 the Government pastoral runs to the north of the fence and south of the Waimakarlri, realised a rental of over £49,000 per annum, or £12,000 per annum greater than the upset prices set upon them by the Govermen}; officers, which upset prices were ii themselves greater than tho previous rentals ; therefore the total amount of extra rentals reoaived by the Government to this date ia estimated to amount to over £80 000, whereas runs to the south of iheeaidfenca were unsold, and some hive tnnco been leased at greatly reduced rentals. 3 — That; rabbits are now on this side of the fence, and are epreadirg northward?. 4 — That on the 15 h June, 1893, a public meet ins; was held m Tinnru, at which, inter a ia, it was resolved that a committee be app >intcd to reporb r.n the lest line of fence to protect South Canter buiy from, the incursiou of the rabbit.*, and it wn.s re<ol7ed to a^k the Government to assist, m erecting such fence. s— That the c »ramilt«je mentioned m clause four hereof duly reported a lino frcra the Waitaki past Fiirlie to theKangi tata at the junction oF the Havelock, and it is estimati d ie would c wt about £20,000 (equal to I weal y months of the increased annual rental acquired by the Crown by the erecion of the fotmer ratbit-proof fence, and which the Crown has bceu receiving since 1889) tnd wouli be about 170 mite's*!"!! length. 6— Thvt though' the severe winter of 1860 (frVc'uilJy for the (less. checked the incursion of t ha rabbits, an.l though iliv Government has rendered the settlers great assistance by reducing their rents, yet m consequence of the said severe winter and the low prices ruling for pro duce, the settlers are unable of themselves to e^ct a new. labbit fet:ce, or to contribute towards it. 7— That the country is so formed, and the runs and other Crown lands are so situated, that the threatened invasion of rabbits will, if allowed to continue, affect the Crown lands and therefore the Crown tenants, to an infinitely, larger extent than ie will affect the owners of freehold lands. B—'hat8 — 'hat among the probable advantages gained by the Crown by tho erection of the said proposed rabbit fence are the following :— £(«,) The value rf the Crown lands protected will be maintained and the rents will not diminish. (b) The value of the freehold landH protected will, for the purposes of the land tax and the graduated land tax, be maintained and the income from the tax will not diminibh. (c) The rating value of the properties will not d'nvnish. (<Zjl It will then be worth while for the Crown tenants and others to t-*ke advant age of the present Rabbit Nuisance Acts and Fencing Acip, and erecb at their own cost branch fences and boundary and sub division rabbit proof fences. («) The number of sheep nnd other live sreck carried will not diminish, and thereby the Income from the Sheep* Tax will bo maintained, and the number of shearers and shepherds employed will also be kept up. (/) Though the Government received no rent from some of the runs to tho south of the present rabbit pro"f fence, ib has had to spend large sums m destroying the rabbits on these unoccupied rims, and the former tenants suffered great losses. 9 — That at a meeting called by the Agricultural and Pastoral Association of South Canterbury and held on the 27th June, 1896. m Timaru, and attended by persons from all parts of the district, it was resolved to confirm this petition and support-it m every particular. "four paitionera therefore humbly pray that your honourable House of Repre sentatives will I— Direct a rabbit-proof fence to be. erected on the lines Ncommended by the commission appointed by the said public! meeting at Timaru on June 15, 1895,' with such deviations as your honourable' House may think advisable. 2— Place on the Estimates a sufficient 9um to pay for the same. And your peii ioners will ever pray, Btc.
