Wellington. October 17

The Defence Department has now almost completed monetary settlement with all soldiers who served in New Zealand regi tnentr. The only payments still pending are men who hud the misfortunate to be drafted off generally as invalids, or in small details to different bases. As they were away from their regiments, there has been considerable difficulty in getting their papers. However, the last of the papers as well as the men are now on the water, aud in the course of a week or two the accounts will be finally settled.

The members of the Arbitration Court left for Otago to-night.

London Markets.

The London agent of the New Zealand Farmers' 00-onerative Associations reports as follow* under date September 13th, 1902 :—

Wool.—The wool market has been quiet during the past three weeks, and no tran sactions of any importance ha\ c taken place. As reported in our last, most wools had to some extent weakened, and coarse oros9breds were quite id per lb lower, but since that time a better feeling has pre vailed and this decline has been recovered, values now standing much as they were at the close of last auctions. In the woollen districts thero is a stronger tone in the market, and quotations for both Home and Colonial produce are maintained with greater confidence. The large decline in the available supplies of Australian wools is inducing consumers to buy fine, medium and strong crosebreds much more i'reely. Merino wools are also more strongly held. In Home-grown produce the downward movement has been checked, and users are prepared to take larger lots.- Southdown fleeces are firm, and a belter inquiry is experienced for choice, bright, long-wool lustres. Demi-lustre and well-grown mixed j lots are held more firmly, while a healthy business is passing in halfbreds, but Shrop shires are still slow. Skin wools are in fair demand.

Wheat.—The weather generally has been ! broken and adverse for harvest operations, • consequently a large quantity of corn has ; been damaged. This has caused a firm ! tone in the market, and values would, no doubt, have shown a substantial advance were it not for the liberal shipment to Europe generally, and the large wheat crops of Russia aud other wheat-growing countries of Eastern Europe. New English wheat is being offered on the country market at 26s to 28s, but the condition is very variable, and good dry samples bring 30s to 325. The average price is now 29s 9d for 4Solbs, as compared with 27s a year , ago. In New Zealand descriptions there is nothing doing, and the absence of this wheat from our market is now much felt by millers, as they have to find a substitute for the inferior home grown grain. The \ nominal value of long berried is 32s 6d to \ 33s 6d, and short berried 328 6d to 33s per ■ 49u1b3 ex store. j

Oats. —Oats have been much quieter, and the demand has slackened considerably, not so much on nccount of actual supplies which are comparatively light, but because of the future outlook. New Zealands nominal, ordinary Bluff and Sparrowbilis 27s to 28s, Canadians 30s at 31a per 3811bs, ex store.

Barley. —Heavy shipments have caused the market to weaken, and prospects do not look encouraging. For best malting parcels there is a fair enquiry.

Cocksfoot.- There is a good demand for this seed, preference b^ing given to heavy samples. New Zealand 15-I6lb send is quoted at 46s to 475, and 17-IBlb at 49s to 50s per cwt, c.i.f, London. Frozen meat.—Trade at Smithfield has been very quiet since our last, the retail butchers complaining much of the restricted business, in consequence of tho absence of bo many families from town. Added to this the arrivals have been heavy, last month having been a record of imports, 356,900 carcases haviug arrived. Notwithstand ing these conditions, frozen mutton generally has not lost niTe than Id par stone, while English has declined 2d. Canterbury sheep met with a somewhat slow sale, light weights being _ most in demand, which made up to 2d 7d per stone, ex market, heavier weights bringing 2s 5d to2s'6d." Second qualities may be quoted at 2s Id to 2s 6d. North Island is now worth 2s 5d ex store. Australian mutton is still in very short supply, and very few. carcases have arrived recently. There are no Melbourne sheep ou the market, but Sydneys make 2s 3d per stone. New Zea land lamb shows a falling off in the demand and values have declined 2d per stone, al though sales are not being forced. The quantity arrived ex recent boats, which has been very heavy, has tended to depress the market. The present weather is rather against the sale of lamb, and there have been a good many Scotch carcase 3on the market lately. Best Canterburys are worth 33 2d to 3s 3d per stone, and second quality 33 Id to 3s 2d at Smithfield.
