A writer in the DunedJn " Star " says: —The activity of the market) daring the first quarter of the year produced a crop of premium hunters, who ware landed with large blocks of shares involving •normons liabilities, when the market ooilapsed. These weak holders are in na position to meet the demands for call*, and although moralists may condemn their greed and seek to justify their pan' iehmetit, to endeavour bo euforoe payment of calls on the parti of people absolutely incapable of meeting the liabilities would render the position infinitely worse thm it is. It is currently reported that arrears of calls on shares of companies domiciled la Dtinedin excesd £100,000, while the companies have tnenrred liabilities for dredges now in coarse of conetration far in excess of this amount. A very large gam still remains to be called np, and if at so early a period the secretaries 6ad difficulties in collecting the call moneys, is the position likely to improve as addi tional calls fall doe.

Under thedistinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Cousul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract .n the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oik may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Govo rnmen to be of perfect! y pure origin, as po information forwarded to as through th Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w tate:— It is proved by teats by the Medical Cli en of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schnlz.Profesaor oi Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aid freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan, ill crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, Among the tnrpendnes, which ■we abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear* anoe being reduced in specific density through tae presence i>t acids. d By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennateg. if these crude oils, bo-c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista :e in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
