{Continued fiwii Page Twti;) Serious Opposition to Frozon Mutton Trade. Now Zealand and Anglo-New Zealand merchants intorostccl in tho frozon mutton trado must prepare, during tho noxt two yoavs, to oncouutor opposition of a far more 'formidable and trying character than any they.have so far met with. Hitherto, tho Importations from tho River Plato have been of a desultory and Becond rate character. Themutton, however, soldfairly well; indeed, so satisfied are the proprietors and directors of the vast estancias at the River Plate hat they can place on the London market meat equal to but cheaper than the New Zealand that they have formed a regular league, offensive and dofensive, for tho pur pose of pushing their wares, and chartered a line of regular meat ships (hitherto en gaged in the North American beef trade) M convey tho carcases to England. To under-rate this cJompotitioh would be 'oily, moro especially as it is almost cortaiu to bo associated with very largo importa tions of Dutch sheop (pronounced by ox porters fully equal to English). At tho samo timo Australian exporters will pro bably Buil'er moro seriously than tho Now Zcalandcrs, who can scarcely come to tho ground whilst tho quality of thoir meat is kept up to tho presont lovel. Jsy way of proof that tho Rivor Plate peoplo have already commoncod operations, 1 may mention that since tho beginning of tho yoar 10/100 shoop havo arrived from South America, as against 13,000 from New Zealand, and that the mutton from both places is now quoted wholesale at the game rates. The market at prosent is flat, consequent on excessive supplios. The metropolis only absorbs 4,000 carcases a week, and tho domands of the provinces are not very large at present either. Ward and Stimson say they do not ex pect prices to harden till tho large lots on hand are somowhat reduced. To-day's " British Australasian " says tho Rivor Plato Meat Company are trying to push their mutton in the provinces by offering to send single carcases direct from London at 5Jd per lb, while the price of their meat from Smithh'eld is quoted at 4jd to 4Jd per lb. Tho following are tho prosent prices:—Now Zealand mutton, 3s 4d to 3a 6d per st. of 81bj; Melbourne, 3s 2d to 3« 4d per st. of 81b ; Sydney, 2s 8d to 2s lOd per st. of 81b ; River Plate, 2s 8d to 2s lOd per st. of 81b. New Zealand Loan and Morcantno Company. According to the leport of tho above Company to be presented at the general meeting on the SOth January, the net profit for 1884 was £72,270 17s, out of which a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, with a bonus of 5 por cent., is ro commonded. £17,500 is added to reserve, and a balance of £7256 18s is carried forward. Part of the premiums on issue of new shares has also been added to reserve, raising it to £250,000. N.Z. Trust and L6an Company. At the meeting of this company on the '21st inst, an interim dividend of 10s per share on the ordinary shares (being at the rate of 20 per cent, per annum) will be recommended. Mr Courtney's Special Party. Mr William Courtney, of Taranakl, who is now in London, is getting together a special party to proceed to his province early this year. Mr Courtney has been lately travelling on a lecturing tour in tho West of England. In Christmas week ho lectured in Cheltenham to a largo audionco, undor the presidency of Sir Brook Kay, and on tho 12th, 13th, and 14th of .this month ho doscribod the bounties and benefits of " tho garden of Now Zealand " in Chelten ham, Gloucester, and Matson. Mr Court ney has boon widely sirculating a littlo handbill which contains somo interesting factH about tho Taranaki district, and has seen a large number of likely settlors. He has taken an oflico in Fenchurch-street, where he shows some fine photo-' graphs and maps of New Plymouth and its neighbourhood, and specimens of tho iion, ironsmd, and coal which abound in the locality. Mr Courtney will return to New Zealand with his settlers in tho Kaikoura, which leaves London on Marcli 12b'i. After a short stay in the colony, Mr Courtney intends to return to London, and start operations on a slightly difforent plan. Ho will procure largo photographs of interesting things in the district, sucli as the main streots of- New Plymouth, tho harbour and jotty, pretty scenery, and so on ; and also of applo and other fruit trees whon laden with thoir crops. These he will havo framed and pake a sort of exhibition of, and ho will also obtain accurate dimensions of some of the enormous trees, all of which things interest intending emigrants wonderfully, Mr Courtney hopes to obtain Government aid in bis enterprise bofore he returns. Lord Rosebery as Colonial Secretary. The " World's " announcement relative to the probable retirement of Lord Derby took one by surprise. I get to know most things about him, but I was not aware that the desirability of his retirement from office had ever been discussed outside Knoweley. There, I believe, the matter was talked over shortly beforo Christmas, but nothing decided. Everybody takes it for granted that if Lord Derby does retire, Lord Rosebery will take his place. No appointment could pos sibly be more popular, either in England or the colonies. Hewould be emphatically the right man in the right place, and I sin oerely hope the portfolio may have been given him long before these lines are in print; but—and it is a big but—how about the Radical Ministers ? will Mr Chamber kin and Sir Charles Dilke consent to working with a peer who disagrees with them on several vital points ? Mr Chamberlain and tho Colonies. In Ma speeoh at Birmingham the other , night, Mr Chamberlain, who has always been suspected of apathy on colonial ques tions, showed himself very anxious to dissipate the impression. He expressed the warmest sympathy with Australia's various troubles, and declared that in case of real danger the Government would not hesitate to put forth the whole power of the Empire on her behalf. A daily paper (the "Times " I think), criticising this speech, remarks caustically that " fine words butter no parsnips," and that if we fail tho colonies in thoir smaller troubles, they are not likely to believe in our helping them when serious difficulties arises. A policy of wheedling, deception, and severity, tempered with pro testationß of undying regard will it, sur mises, certainly not content them. The press unite in demanding tho distinct purposes of tho Cabinet which has bo far been entirely lost in a maze of fine words and jingo sentiments. A Nobleman and New Zealand Mutton.

" Truth " tells the following story apropos of tho frojsen moat trado:—"A few wooks ago I mentioned the names of somo butchers in tho West End who soil New Zealand mutton. A nobloinan. residing not. one ■hundred miles from Grosvenor Square, called upon one of them, and pointing to this statement in 'Truth,' asked lim whether it was correct. On his replying that he had furnished New Zealand mutton to some customers who had asked for it, the nobleman informed him that he should withdraw his custom because the butcher did not support home agriculture. And yet this man probably voted with glee for the Irish Crimes Act, which makes Doycot' ting a criminal offence." Tho Walrarapa's South Sea Cruises. I hear that several large parties of tourists will leave England in time to join tho Wairarapa at Auckland noxt July. Last week's "World" contained a para graph describing the programme of the steamer's voyage, and calling 'attention to the pleasurable trips enjoyed last year, and the beauty of the regions visited. The writer wound up by reminding intending passengers that they might perhaps bo able to " assist" at the erection of Rome of the flagstaffs which are just now playing such an important part in that locality.
