The fact of the number of sheep in Canterbury alone ljaving increased by 370,000 during last season is very con clusive proof that an outlet for surplus stock is absolutely essential to tho prospering of New Zealand agriculture.

VISIT TO THE SETTLEMENT ON THE PLAINS.

[l!Y TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

NORMANBY, this day. The dormant attitude of all iv the neigh bourhood of Parihaka has enabled your correspondent to visit the natives and settlements in this direction. All along the coast the natives are quiescent, but there Is a strange absence of the industry usual at this period of the year. Want of seed may prevent many from planting, and a stubborn determination to return to the food they have planted at Parihaka doubtless actuates many. The chiefs of Ngatirupuis arc to-day returning from their journey to take the tribes to the southwards, to their homes. Courtesy may have prompted this move ment, but policy added an incentive to a visit by the chiefs of the tribe to the various settlements on the coast. Not the slightest loss of faith in Te Whiti is expressed by any. None deny their wish to return to Parihaka, and only a donbt is expressed as to the period of their return. Anxious enquiries are made as to the sentries on the road to picvent access to Parihaka, and more eager the questions as to tho welfare of the three prisoners iv New Plymouth Gaol, There is but one answer to all enquiries as to the return of the aatives. They say, " What are we to do— our food is all at Parihaka. Better return and perish by the sword, than die a linger ing death from starvation." *
