Nothing would be lost under the circumstances. The money could be withdrawn at three months' notice, and they would be getting interest for that time, so that they would be making the most of their money.—Cr. Devore considered that Ponsonby was not able to do with £1,300 for the next 3 months. He therefore moved for tho amendment of tho propoeal, in bo far as Ponsonby was concerned, by the substitution of the word "three" for "six."—Cr. Garratt took a similar stand with regard to Karangahape. —Cr. Holdship thought that the existing arrangement between tho Council and its bankers was all in tho lattor's favour — whether through dread of them or not he did not know. Tho Council should be able to do better. - After some discussion, the effect of Cr. Devore's amondmont was ex tended so as to include Karangahape also. It was then put and negatived by 8 to 7. Tho whole matter was then deferred until the Finmioe Committoe's othor report is sub mitted at next ordinary meeting of Council. The Mayor thon moved tho adoption of clause 2 After some discussion tho matter was deferred for a week in order to ascertain (1) if the leases contain a condition re qriring lessees to build within two years, and (2) if the leases conform to the othor loaees in the came block.

Waymouth seconded, —

Tho Mayor took exception to the phrase in olauso 8, " without toferenoo to present tiled levels." — Cr. Aieldn suggested the reference of the wholo motion to the Finance Committee.—Ore. Montague and Garratt objected to any interference with tho levels of Customs street West, which had already been fixed.—Cr. Holdehip laid no stress upon tho question of levels, and expressed his willingness to oxpungo clause No. 3. — Cr.

THE CITY MARKET.

Proposed Improvements In Manage* inont. At tho meeting of the City Council last night, tho Finance Committee submitted the following interesting interim re port :-(l) Letter from Tljomas Slater re losses Market lease, Committee cannot re-

commend application being entertained, (2) lie leasing of Market, that the Market bo leased for one year by tender, subject to the condition that the Council and lessee may jointly agree two months prior to the expiration of leaso to an extension of same lor a future period of one or two yeara, and that a Market inspector bo appointed by tho Council (not being tho lessee). (3) That clause 7 of conditions be read aa fol lows : " The lessee shall not allow any building of any kind to bo erected on any part of tho Market or yards without the consent of tho lessee in writing. (4) Also, that right-of-way at rear of stalls, at least six feet, be reserved to stall holders. Shooting galleries to be pro hibited, and other amusements of an approved character shall be only allowed within the stalls. (5) That clause 12 of conditions read as follow, viz.:—The lesseo shall not part in any way with this lease or any portion without prior consent of the Council. Clause 1 was adopted,—The Mayor, in moving the adoption of the rest of the report, stated that he and Cr. Montague visited tho Market laßt Saturday night, and that they found the shooting gallery with its orowd of boy patrons a great nuisance. Thon, too, all sorts of machines, such as thumping, weighing, and electric machines obstructed the fairway. The stallholders com plained that in consequence respectable people were beginning to avoid the Market. It was suggested that the duties of inspec tion could bo undortaken by tho Fire Jirigado Superintendent. — Cr. Garratt moved that tho clause dealing with the Market should bo referred back to the Com mittee. If tho Cou,nci} hecavfle the lessee of the stable, instead ,of a colleotion of little peddling stalls, thoy might hope to have a proper market. — Cr. Goldie seconded Cr. Garratt's proposition. He objected to tho proposed leasing by tender. Tho proposal to add to the fire Inspector's, duties really ir\eftn,t that hja salary should not be reduced, as recom mended. — Cr. jVfusefield considered the Market a huge failure, and was in favour of thp stalls b.oing leased separately. He supported tho amendment. Every stall should be oooupied whether the revenue woro greater or less than at present.—Cr. Waymouth looked upon tho management of the Market an a disgrace, and therefore was in favouroftho Council undertaking that duty itself.— Cr. Aickin endorsed tho sug gestion of Cr. Masoliold aB to tho separate lousing of tho stalls. Jn tltat way, the middleman would bo disposed of. —Cr. Montague supported the Committee's re commendations. It waa important that the Market should be leased, a^d in the present atate of its finances the Council should be chary of taking ovor tho managomont of tho institution.— Gr. Crowthor waa of opinion that the sub. ject should roceivo further consideration from tho Committee. All that wa.s npeded was to loaso tho Market by auction for a longer torm, say three or fivq years, under stringent conditions, which would render impossible such violations as tha present obstructive extonsion of the fhootihg gal leries. Ho opposed tho suggested tendering, for tho highest tenderers might not bo the most doi-iinblo lofcßeos. Tho Iteaps of furniture wero as groat obstructions in tho Market as tho shooting galleries. Like-Cr. Montague, he wus anxious to see the Council assume tho direct management and collect tho potty stallage fees.—Cr. La Koche pointed out that hitherto the leßßee had been tho inspector as well, and hence all the trouble,—Cr. Garratt point-blank denied that tho lesseo was inspector.—The Town Clork replied that it was a oondition of tho lenso that he should be inspector,— Cr. Gavratt's amondmont waethon negatived by 10 to s.—Cr Holdship then moved that tho Market should be lot by public auction for a period of ono year, the Finance Committee to report upon the conditions which Bhould bo imposed. Ho considered that there should bo inspection altogether independent of tho lessee.—Cr. I f a Kqohp seconded this pro fgrum, —Cr. Devore sugT gestcd, ao a bettor proposition, " That the Market be leased far ano year by auction, and that a Market Inspector, not being the lessee, be appointed by tho Counoil."— Cr. Holdship withdrow hiaamendment in favour of Cr. Devoro's.—Cr. Garratt said that the largest stallholders had been driven from the Market by the exorbitant rents which wero charged, and naturally so, seeing that the lesseo simply entered upon the matter aa a speculation.—Cr. Devoie'e amendment was then put and carried.—Cr. Cooper believed that the Market should be leased for threo years, and he therefore pro posod as an amendment upon the proposi tion of Cr. Devore, that had now beco)n.p tho substantive motion, that thp' \vor9l "throe" ?l<oul|] £o su,bs|ituted for "cne."—pr'. Aiokin seconded, and Or Evans supported.—Tho Mayor remarked that the three years' pyftem had already boen tried. —Cr. Cooper's amend ment was rejected, - Cr. Goldio then moved as an amendment, and Cr. Kldd seconded, " That tho Market bo let stall by stall, and not to any one person." In answer to Cr. Aickin tho Mayor said that if the amend ment wero carried, it would involve tho appointment of tho Market Inspector pro posed by Cr. Devore. Tho amendment was carried by 12 to 5, viz.:—For: Crs. Holland, Holdship, Evans, Cooper, A: kin, Kidd, Goldio, Waymouth, Bums, Uurratt, Maseliold, and tho Mayor. Against.' Cys- Devoro, Dignan, MontqgHfi, Crowther, and La Boobo. —Oondjtipns D, 3, 4i 5 were then ipeffjrrod back to thp Finance Commjtteo jn order to bo alterod accordingly.

MINING NEWS.

The Find tit Te Aroha.

The local "News,1.1 alluding to the find at Tui Crook, says: "After dropping upon the reof no dilliculty is found in tracing it, for in places it stands up prominently above the s-urfapo to a height of 10 or 12 feet, and is only partially hidden by the timber und the dense undergrowth in its neighbour hood. From the top of the range, near to whioh is the northern boundary of the prospectors' claims, it can be followed fijr hundreds of yards southward, varying in width from six to tin feet, and pre senting everywhere admirable facilities for economical working. Here and there throughout this length the lode' has bo6n broken into, and in almost every placo it shows stone of a most kindly character, and indeed nothing at all ap proaching it in promising appearance had previously boon found on this side of the rango. Much of the quartz closely resomblos the best of the gold-bear ing stono found in the Colonist mine, and other portions of it bear a similarity to the stull' obtained in somo of the richer eilvor lodes at Karangahakr. There is evory probability that the reef will be found to contain botn of the precious metalß in paying quantity. Cf jtj Aptual vajup nothing ap yot is absolutely known, further than that the few samples of the stone, which have been tested by competent assayers.havegivenmQStsatjsfaotory results, From information afforded by one of the owners, wo learn that one sample yielded : bullion to the amount of flfty-soven ounces' per ton, while irom another, silver at the rate of over fifty, aiid gold exceeding seven ounces; per ton, were obtained. One tost' of an exceptionally rich looking piece of stone gave bullion amounting to more than UOozs., but that, of course, cannot be aooepted as any cri terion by which to estimate the value of the lode. Should tho average yield, however, approaoh any way near even to the poorer tests, the fortunate shareholders will have reason to congratulate themselves on ac quiring possession of amagnih'.ent proparty. Mr Clem Comes (a late resident amongst Us-), is tho prospector and fortunate Hndcr of tho newly opened reof. Besides Mr Comes, those who have been most con spicuous in the new rush are -Messrs John Chambers (Auckland), J. E. Banks, and D. JET. Bayldon (Thames). These gentle men spent all Wednesday and Thursday on the ground, leaving Te Aroha again on yesterday morning. Mr Chambers took with him a box of stone ob tained from different parts of the reef, for the purposo of further testing, which will be done at the Thames and also in Auckland. This party pegged off the first four claims, also a water race on the Tui Creek, and appear to have tho fullest confidence that this new dis covery will prove of very great value ; in fact, all practical men in mining matters w^o have seen the reef, apeak of it as being of most promising appearance both for gold and silver."

Kaikoura, and ship Braemar, of the first portion of their NEW SPRING AND SUMMER STOCK personally selected, as we have previously intimated, by our Mr. Caughev during the prolonged depression existing in the British and Continental Manufacturing Districts. Mr. Caughey draws special attention to the fact that (besides securing at the end of the season some wonderful bargains in job lines in Novelties and Plain Goods in various Departments, some of which are now on sale, with others to open in a few days) his visit Home has resulted in our being placed in a position to purchase in most cases direct from the leading manufacturers on the same terms as the most extensive colonial imported.
