The Post says—" It is understood that the proposals which have been made by the trustees of the Bank of New Zealand Officers Guarantee and Provident Absociation have been rejected by nearly all the subscribers stationed in Wellington. We understand that the general body of members in Welling' ton is averse to raising the subscriptions from 1 per cent to 2£ per cent, to fixing the maximum pension ar, more than £300 per annum, and to representation by persons who are under the influence of the Bank. There is also a feeling that the age at which officers can be compulsorily retired should be restored to sixty years. N.Z. ACCOUNTANTS' INSTITUTE. ♦ - Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Wbl-ington*, November I Some time auo the New Zealand Accountant*? Institute communicated with kindred societies in the Australian colonies with a view to arranging some system of co-operation.

Sir,—A gentleman informed us a few days ago that some tailors make suits for about half the regular prices for first-class tailoring uut then give an extra pair of trousers over " for nothing !" We frankly admit that wo cannot perform such impossible tricks as those " wizards of finance" profess. We have every facility for competing with the keenest legitimate trade but we never countenance " sweating." We employ first class tradesmen and pay fair wages. A few of our old customers have tried the so-called " cheap suits," and found them " dear at any price," and many new customers who have admired first-class tailoring on their friends have Bimply remarked—" I want a suit like you made for Mr — •." Our turnover for the last six months shows the largest amount of business we have ever done in one season. This fact speaks for itself. We have just opened a Bplendid assortment of new summer goods in all departments; and by recommend ing only materials we can guarantee, com bined with good fit, best workmanship and style, we have determined to maintain our reputation as " the leading tailors and out fitters." Customers requiting suits for the show are respectfully invited to favor us with their orders as early as possible as we have already a " rush" of orders in hand.— Craighead & Berryhan. P.
