HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, September 15 The House met at 2 30 p.m FAIR BENT BILL . The Fair Rent Bill was introduced and read a first time QUESTIONS Replying to questions, Ministers said they did not think it wise to express any opinion on the matter of the sentence passed upon Preyfas; that to make fortnightly payments to railway workmen would entail an extra expenditure of £20,000, and as there had been no desire expressed by those most interested on the subjeer, it was not the intention of the Government to introduce that system ; that facilities would b« given for disoussing the Imprisonment for Debt Bill and the Small Debts Assignment) Bill, and also that a Bill would be introduced to protect small debtors against ruinously high charges and expenses in Court oases ; that it was not intended to make Wellington a port of call for the San Fraacuoo mail serf ice until the railway to Auckland was cam pleted, but that efforts would be made to prevent the delays that had taken place in delivering the mails south after their arrival At Auckland The House adjourned at 5.30 p m The House renamed at 7 30 pm THIRD READING. The Local Government V"oting Reform Bill was read a third time ADVANCES TO SETTLERS ACT The Premier moved the seoond reading of the Governmeut Advancs to Settlers Aot Amendment Bill, riesigne J to reduce the rate of interest to 4| per cent arid app'y the pro visions of the Act to uiban and suburban land. The Premier claimed ihat the Act had been instrumental in reducing the rate of interest, and had been of the greatest advantage to settlers Captain Russell eaid that to the Opposi tion belonged the credit of passing the Act. He denied, however, that the Act was the means of reducing the rate of interest, and pointed out that for good security private firms lend money at a cheaper rate than Government The Bill was generally supported, although some of its details were objected to, and intimation was made by several members that thsy would try to amend it in Com mittee MrSeddon replied, contending that the predictions indulged in by the Opposition, that the Aot would be a failure, had not been realised The debate was interrupted by the 10.30 adjournment;

ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports as follows upon the live stock market in the Aehburton County for the week ending September 15 : On Tuesday, at the Tinwaid yards, the usual weekly sale was held. The attendance of farmers, dealers, and others interested was fair, and their bidding slightly brisker than at the two previous markets- The yarding was principally hoggets and turnip Bheep, with several lines of freezers. Notably amongst the latter was a very fine line, grazed by Mr W. Langdoo, which sold at 19s 4d. Very few breeding ewes ware entered, bub those yarded met with a ready sale. The totals were 7961 sheep, 43 pigs, and 49 head of cattle. My entry comprised 4349 sheep, including 2000 Bold in oorjuuciion with Messrs Friedlander Bros, 17 head of cattle, and 2 pigi. The following are my sales :—Sheep—64 merino wethers 10s sd, 60 at lls lid, IS crossbred ewes 10j 7<i, 20 at lls, 60 merino wethers 10a 5.1, 16 cross bred ewes 10s Bd, 67 crossb ed ewes and lambs 9s, all counted, 300 hoggeta 13a sd, 504 halfbredewes 13s 300 a& 14a 6J, 72 orosibied two end fuur-tooth ewes ani wethers 14s lQd, 5 crossbred ewes 15a 6d.

Privately I have disposed of the following sheep—B6o hoggets, 600 cross bred ewes, 982 two-tooth ewes and wethers, 130 merino wethers, 355 crossbred ewes At the Arcade on Thursday, September 14, I held my usual monthly horte fair, when an entry of 103 head ot all descriptions came forward, and amongst them were noted some very fine stamps, including a consign ment from Sydney which realised from £25 and £30, up to £37 The demand was very good for young useful draught mares or geldings, and us high as £45 for an upstand ing six-year old gelding was obtained. There Wbs a large attendance both from north and south, but the local demand was too BtroDg to allow any to leave the district. Of the total entry I succeeded in placing all the draughts but four, and amongst the harueta class very few were passed out un sold. Of the total entry I placed 84 head at prices in advance of any sold at previous fairs. Ihe following is the racge of prices : i, —Unbroken fillies, £37 10a; light unbroken, £4 10s to £6;three.y.ar-o;ds, broken, £27 10s up to £40 ; 4yrs, £32 to £42 ; syre, £35 to £41; 6yrs, £30 to £45; 7yrs, £25 o

Experience every day provei that some ac leasb of the good are spared to make the world brighter and better, and a more pleasant place to live in, la fact, P'ir experience is that good people, and good things generally, live the longest. For example, consider the thousand* of article* which have been widely advertised and are now forgotten. Why ? Because they were bad.
