South America as a Market for New Zealand Produce.

To the settlors of the Bay of Plenty, par ticularly of the Tauranga district, bolonga the credit of having by thoir onerpy opened up a new market for Now Zealand butter and cheese. About the time when the Tarawera eruption waa casting a cloud of foroboding nurmises ovor the futuro of tho settlements of tho Bay, tho Te Puko settlors had determined to tost Rio Juneiro as a market, and tho ro.ult having been satisfactory, a larger consign ment goes shortly to that placo, and ar rangements aro being made by which a regular supply can be kept up. Early during last Juno Mr Macandlieh called tho attontion,of the Te l'uko Be>tlors to the export trade in butter done by Denmark, Italy and other places, and at a meeting of the principal farmers showed a tin of Danish buttor which he had kept for eomo al most incredible timo, with tho result tbat it waa perfectly good when openc d in thoir preeenco. " Why could not Te l'uko follow suit?" The idea set working in tho settlors' minde, tbo following camo about : — A Mr Alexander Harvey, lately from Eng land, as are moat of the settlers, and who waa au extensive tin plate worker at Homo, od'ored to copy tbo Danish tin, and ex pressed his beliof that To l'uko butter would keep woll tinned,, as ho had tiun. d oomo of hia own, aud found that he could sell it in tho district with good profit, when butter waa scarce. Mr Harvoy, however, saw a diiliculty for farmers to fasten up their buttor after tbq Danish model, as folder was reijuired ; to Betting to work, ho invented a clover air tight lid, which will prevont oven kerosene leaking out of an inverted can tittod with tho saino. A littlo extra procaution taken by using some rosin or wax round tho joint makes a thoroughly air-tight envelope, in which butter will keep good for a long period of timo. A com mitteo, consisting of Mossrs Jonathan Brown (runbolder), Macaudliirh (civil engineer), John Snodgrasa (agent of Bank of Now Zealand), David Lundon aud Bennett (farmers), and Mr Harvoy, wus uext formed, and about 2701bs ot butter from Te Puke and TOibs from Tauranga was dono up in ono pound tins, and font to Rio. This butter sold for la 1 Id, on tho sampling of these tins, ono of which, when opened, was rancid. Now tlio expenses, which, as ia generally tho caso on a email consignment, especially that of a new lino of goods, .vero very heavy, amounting to la por pound, Tho cost of tinninc, Id por t;n, or per pound, had also to come oil'; leaving lOd per pound for tho f-irmer to icceivo for his butter. Tho reason for a rancid tin being found omongss tho consignment was important ond worth inquiring into, as it lowered the price obtained by tho whole consignment. It wob found that thia waa caused through tho acid present in the dust and air during tho time the tins wero fastened up, which wob immediately after the eruption, when all the place was ,'! inches deep in volcanic eand and mud.

Tho Exporting Committee aro informed by thoir agent in Rio that that placo can take n large quantity of butter at tho prico already obtained, but that it would be beet not to rush the market. The population c.f Rio is about 700,000, with v largoly-poopkd surrounding country. Consignment;) of lib, 'Jib, and 71b' tiiiß will bost tuit tbo m'urket, in proportions of half of 21b Uiib, nnd a quarter eaoh of lib and 7lb tins. The butter ehoilld bo well salted at tbe rnto oi j .v.. to tho pound, und only lirst-class butter, minus all milk, ebon Id bo sent. A pmall consignment ol 101b and lSlb chco.es from tbo Te Puko Cheoeo Factory fetched at Uio Is .'id, notting 7jd to tho factory, lately. Those woro loaf sizo, ox 7 inches. Tho samo factory is Bonding .'i tons of otilbs cheese to London,which wo havoeeon being placed iv thoir tins, in which thoy aro safoly packed in sawdust, which ia a graud non conductor of boat, at Mr Harvey's tin works, Durham stieet. So great is Mr Hurvey _ bolief in the future growth of our canning industries that ho has imported a large quantity of valuablo machinery, which will be in full operation ia about a month _ timo. Fruit. Space will not allow of more thau a few remarks upon that important lield of cuteipiifo, tho cunning of fruit. The energetic man who makes inquiries with a view to beginning euch an industry iinda that the eeotlera and fruit-growois do njt understand or encourage him in hia eu doavoura. For example, Mr Ewing, who is doing such a good thing iv mullet tinning, tolls us that ho has onco or twico turned his attontion to tinning fruit (and we ourselves have tas'cd seme of hiß tinned pearß, and can Buy truly tbey wero as gocd as could bo desired), but tho settlors will not sell fruit to him at a prico that will allow of his doing business with them. List year ho tried to buy pears for tinning, and offered 21 a pound, a prico tbat would bejumpod at in England. No.theymusthavo moro, and only £5 worth came in. The joko is, having mado inquiries as to what tacae samo eettlera got lor their fruit after re fusing his 2d, ho found that they sent thorn to Auckland, whero thoy woro sold at | auction at pricoa ranging up to ljd, out of i which expenses of carriage, etc., had to bo paid ! In Kent, England, wo could namo growers who would bo glad enough if they cou'd reckon on 2d per pound for their fruit, nnd tho eettlers do wrong in not fostering tbo starting of an industry which would re sult in their having a ready market for thoir fruit. Another market for settlers' fruits might be oponed in the j-im making line, if the -Jd per lb import duty were knocked off to jam makers. This Ad would allow of New Zealand mado jam being sold hero at 3d to 4d per dozen cheaper than at prefont, or about le Sd on the case. AtNel son tho jam industry is flourishing in spite of a great many th ngs to fight against; aleo in various parts of the colony factories are appealing. Ono groat cause of dis content to fruit-growers is tho way half made jam is allowed to enter the colony duty free, whereas jam is charged 1 _d per pound, nnd eugar Jd. Tli9 manufao turers in Dunedin would have to ufo New Zealand fruit if this " fruit-pulp" wa3 taxed as jam. Fish. The same short Eighted policy amongßt our settlers, spoken of in reference to fruit eelling to manufacturers, applies to their consumption of New Zealand canned fish. Canned mullet can be purchased retail at the present time at 7a per dozen lib tins, American silmon being sold at 10s. Woll, even at 7a against 10s inland eettlers prefer tho latter. We can understand that per sons re'iding on tho seaboard might caro only to eat frosh-caught fish, but that settlers inland should prefer tbo stuff that comes over from Amorica. as salmon to the well-preserved mullet made hero is a wonder and a pity. To prove that we should be careful of eating what comes to ua as salmon from Ameiica we quo'e the following from tbo Australasian " Trado Review ":-"Tempted by tho pood prices obtained for salmon this year (18S7), it ap pears that certain untcrupuloue American canners havo caught and tinned a consider able amount of salmon out of season, and aro sending it to Australia. Such people are quite regardless of the possibility that thoir trade may bo materially injured in future yoars by thoir attempt to palm ofl salmon unfit for human consump tion upon customers at a distance. Somo of this salmon will, wo learn, come down from San Francisco without labels, but there may be reason to fear that labels will bo stuck on in Sydney." An American paper, tho "Grocorand Country Merchant," has had the courage to pivo tho names of tho brands of unwholesome salmon, as well oa of Iho packers. A report from j Ban Francisco says : " Tho high price ruling this season his cau=erl to be picked hundreds nf loiis of deceased and spawning : fish, which aro unlit for human consump j tion, and wo aro sorry to note a growing ; tendency to fhip thoso out-ijo brands to Australia bearing the name oj old and well known packers " Wo call the attention of our readers to thi3 single ex-ample (of which there arer.o doubt many) of unwholesome food reaching our shores and being cold for prices that would givo tho consumers thereof a much bet ter article produced in tho colony. { Ono of tho greatest causes of evil to a com- j in unity like oureelves is lark of patronage of local manufactures, whi_.li is doubly wrong when tho local production compete favourably with foreign ones.

The Siege of the Shamrock.

Tho Lessee's Account of His Troubles,

Donald Urqchart, lessee of the Shamrock Hotel, having boen adjudicated a bankrupt, was examined upun oath this morninp with regard to his affairs by the Official Asaigneo. He made tho following statement: — " With two short intervals, I have been an hotelkeopor in Auckland for tho last six years, and havo never beforo been in any monetary difficulty. In February, ISSU, I sold out of the Shakespear, and after clearing off the liabilities aeainst tbe busi ness of that hotol, there remained a balance of £250 in my favour, but I was indebted in tho sums of £50 and £155— £200 in respect of a previous business. I paid off tho £50 shortly afterwards in cash, and gavo P.Ns. for tho £155 in small Bums, extending over about tnroe years. In March, ISBO, I commenced negotiations for tho busiaesa of tbe Shamrock Hotel, then kept by Mra O'Sulliyan, and on the 4th of April entered into possession on tho fol lowing terms : _ The purchase was made up as follows : Furniture, £498 5a 5d ; good will and lea™, four years and four months t) run, £SOO ; stock, £200 : total, £1.498 5s sd. Payments—Furniture : Bill of sale for full amount, ropayablo at £10 per mon'h with interest at 10 per cent, por annum. Goodwill and lease : £300 cash, and balance by weekly payments of £3. Stock : By threo monthly P.Ns. of equal sums. Up to this timo I have paid £60 towards tho furniture. Tho £300 cash paid for goodwill, c.c , con oisted of £200 from tho Shakoapear surplus, and £100 from.tho takings at tho Sham rock. Two of (ho P.Ns. for tho Btock woro duly mot, and the third is still owing. The ront agreed upon by the landlord waa £10 7s yd per week exclusive of ratos, which averaged about 25a por week. Hv weekly expensos for rent, taxes, servants, gas, sun dries (including houso exponses, but ex clusive of interest) amounted to over £20 per week, and tho takings havo avcrogod about £30 tho week all through. In addi tion to tho furnituro under bill of salo, I havo furnished two bed-rooms from my pro. ious dwelling. Ono of these rooms was empty when 1 tuok possession, and tho fur nituro in the other was distributed over tho houeo to make room for my own. On (ho 20th January the landlord iasucd a warrant to distrain for rent nlloged to bo due, and insuranco premium piid—together amounting to £137 10s. Mr Roberts, tho landlord's agont, presented tho warrant, and said he had boen in structed to tako possession of (ho bar. Tho stock was then taken by Messrs Mowbray, and handed over to Mr Roberta, who re mained in possession until the 3rd instant, After closing tho bar on that night, Mr Roberts and his assistant went out, ono afler the other. Having previously con sulted my solicitor as to the position, I took this opportunity of closing tho doors against their return, and I hold possession until yestorday, tho 9th inst., I having on tho previous day be-on adjudicated a bankrupt on creditor-' petition. After Mr Roberts and his assistant wero locked out, Mrs Urquhart found £5 0a 6d, or tlicro-bouts, in tho till, and 1 believe this money is now in hor possession. During the timo siuce 1 regained possession. and until yesterday, thero were in tho houso myself, wifo, two chil dren, a d my two sisters-in-law and t*vo brothers-in-law, and four male boarders—l 2in all. Everyone had access to the bar, and they hud what they wanted, in moderation, without chargo. No charge has been made to (he boarders for tho lust week. I kept no books ur records of any kind, except the bank pass-book. All my principal disbursements wero made by cheque, Tho takings were paid in weekly, or as convenient. From April 4th, ISSO, to February llth, ISS7—44 weeks and 3 daye— tho rent amounts to .C-lb'O 10s. My pass book will show what I have paid towards thia. I think about £170 will bo still owing. My debta to unsecured credi tors—butchers, bailors, _co., are £2GS 15a Id aa noar aa I can make cut at pre sent, and about £175 for liquo-. Wages aro ail paid up to date. The only unen cumbered assets aro tbo stock in tr.-tdo, which may bo worth £10, and tho furnituro referred to as not boing included in the bill of salo, which may bo worth about £30. Beyond what is now disclosed 1 have no assets or interests whatever.

Re Tenders for Fifth's Mill.

(To tho Editor.)

Fib, —Tenders for tho abovo wore closed at 12 p in. on Friday, February 4th, and con tractors wero told that the tenriora would not bo opened until 2.30 p.m., und tho result would bo mado known during tho afternoon. So far this was all good and abovo lino, had it beon carried out. Tho result waa not mado known until tbe following morning, when it waa found that tho favour bad fallen to Mr Philcox, below whom woro fourteen tenderers, and among theso woro somo of tho oldest contractors in Auckland. Now, Sir, I con tend this was not fair aftor throwing tbo job out for public tonder. If tbo job was intended for Pinlcox, why were 23 contrac tors put to tho trouolo of making up an estimate and getting at tho proper prico tbe job should be done at, ar.d thon tho 14 below I'hileox to bo ottered (out of Mr Firth's so-called genorosity) tho paltry Bum of two guineas for their trouble, which bad cost considerably moro in timo, not allow ing anything for tho broina which were required in making up the prico ''. Thoy t3lk about striking the average bo a^ to prevent slippery woikmanship. Will that prevent it. No ; for it is not on such jobs aa thia that prices are cut so low. It is on small jobs where prices got bo low, not where a £100 has to bo stakod as a de posit to bind the tender on the part of tbe contractor; but such jobs 6eem to be re- Borved for some of tbe clique, and not for the individual who would try to do his duty and earn an honeatliving. If Etriking the averogo is made a rulo, tendering will only i o by guess and not by calculation ; but I consider in this case striking tbe average was convenient aa a bliod whon it happened to fall near the chosen one. In an honest dealing when a job ia thrown opon for public tendor the lowest man (if he can prove himself able to carry out the job) should bo accepted. If ho cannot, tho next should bo trie, and co on until tho able man ia found, and nut 14 men Blipped over without any ono of them being asked any questions as to thoir abilities. Somo of the rejected tenders are quito as good, if not better, than Philcox. — Yours truly, Anti GiiNKKOsiry.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—ll was with unqualified pleasure that I read' iv your locals of Saturday tho fact that Mr J. C. Firth haa deviated from the too common rulo of accepting aa a matter of course the lowest tender. In accepting the tender which is nearest tbe mean, it has fallen to tho lot of Messrs I'hileox and Sou, and I dare say there are not wanting those who will insinuate that it waa meant for that firm. Of course, no one can define tho motivea that rulo an action but the actor, but I tpko it that the choice has not beon a personal ono so much as ono of a principle, viz., that of acting more fairly, the result of which waa that tho lot foil as above. lam only sorry that thia principle of action was not enunciated before tenders wore opened, aa it would have saved tbe appearance of slight on one hand, and tho necessity of compensation on tho othor. By the-way, tho principle of compensating is not now to Mr Firth. Ho believca that whore labour bus boen be stowed compensation ia due, aa tho fol low ing will show: _ Several yeara ago builders woro invited to tender for a mill in Albert street, which was with drawn from tlio market before tho day of tender, with tho result ihat all those who hud epoot time on tho plans wero gratilied by reviving a vote of thanks and a cheque for (I think it was) £3 3a through the architect. And here I cannot but express tho wish that such conduct were more common amongst architects ancl proprie tors I have, Sir, referred to two actions on the part of our esteemed fellow-citizen, but 1 regatd tho former (tbat of ac cepting tbe midJlc tender) ns contain ing (if it weio more generally adopted) a grand specific for several evila euch as the following : Inability of architects to get work faithfully carried nut, which is mainly becauEO the price has been carved to death in order to bring it under all others ; lhe taking of heavy risks with tho hope that something may "turn up," which, if it does, he comes out as he went io, and if it doesn't he or his creditors (including ; tbe poor subcontractors) go to the wall of bankruptcy, unless be has some thing to lose, or unless ho saves himself at ' the expense of the quality of the work, (and if the lattor veiethe ca__ it is plain

that the appaiont eaiing to tbo proprietor ! at the commencement was a delusion and a ■ mare). Surely this cnnnot be regarded as ' n satisfactory i-tnte of things, and i humbly submit tbat if tbe system of tbe acceptance of the average wero adopted good would result to all, and harm to none ; fairness ' would rule, aud imposition would accord ingly diinini-h.—l am, _re., Admikation.
