DISPUTE IN THE WOOL TRADE.

A dispute between the local wool auction eers and wool buyers has led to a tem porary paralysis of the wool trade. The wool-sellers, Messrs A. Buckland and Co., Messrs Hunter and Nolan, and Mr G. W. Binney, finding that tho ordin ary commission chargeable to the vendors did not pay them, mutually decided to im pose special "delivery charges" on the purchase!s of wool at their marts. _ The decision was embodied in the conditions of sale posted in the several auction marts), the charge being 2s 6d per bale, Is per dump and 6d per bag. Messrs A. Buck land and Co. were to have held the first wool salo of the season to-day, and had a really fine display. When Mr A. Buckland, senr., mounted the rostrum he was asked by one of the trade buyers if he intended to adhere to tbe new conditions of sale. Mr Buckland replied in the affirma tive and the buyer?, who had evidently been taking concerted action beforehand, left the mart in a body. Later in the day Mr Buckland was seen by a Star reporter, and in reply to our representative said that delivery charges are made in every town in New Zealand and Australia. The ruling charge throughout Australia is one-eighth of a penny per lb. At Christ church the same charge is mado that it is proposed to make here. Mr R. T. Warnock, a largo wool buyer, was also seen. He objects very strongly to tho delivery charge and says that in England, where it is made, it only amounts to Is per lot, aud a lot may amount to one hundred bales.

SEARCH FOR MISSING SEAMEN.

£1,000 REWARD.

A melancholy interest, of a twofold charac ter, is attached to the following communica tion addressed to the " Adelaide Observer by the late Lady Brassey. It is dated from the Sunbeam, then at Port Darwin, on Sep. tember sth last;—" Dear Sir,—l should be greatly obliged if you could insert in your valuable paper theenclosed paragraph anent an unfortunate accidentat sea, which caused the loss of several seamen, who it is thought may still be alive. Lord Brassey ha 3 promised to do all in his power to aid in the search for the missing men, and as it is quite impossible-for the yacht to visit the islands mentioned, he thinks that the insertion of some account in your journal, with an announcement as to the reward which is offered, may be of service. Believe me, yours truly. Annie Brassey." —" Two young men named Alexander and Robert Murray, ex Conway cadets, and sons of Lieutenant-Colonel Murray, of 46, Herne-hill, London, were lost at sea on July 16th, 1886, under the circumstances mentioned below. The lads belonged to the ship Earl of Jersey, which was on its way out to Singapore at the time the events to be narrated occurred. On Friday, July 16th, when the ship was in lat. 40° S., long. 9" W., during a fresh gale from the northward, and with oc casional rain, squalls and moderately high sea, a man named Hood, who was engaged in reefing the mizentopsail, fell overboard, seemingly unhurt. A lifebuoy was thrown to him and the lifeboat was promptly lowered, being manned by the second mate, Alexander Murray, an ex Worcester cadet named Midelton, a steward, a boatswain, and two A.B.'s. Two men still being wanted to complete the crew the captain called for volunteers, but the crew held back until the boat was under the stern, when Robert Murray, who had just come upon the scene, boldly sprung into the water, and was pulled into the boat, whicn then wont in search of Hood. Whether the unfortunate roan was picked up by the boat was not known, for the life boat never returned to the ship, and was never seen after it waß lost sight of in a rain squall shortly after leaving the ship. The captain of the Earl of Jersey searched for tour days for the missing'boat without avail, and : then proceeded on his voyage. It was thought at the time that the boat must have capsized in a squall, as the ship was left in such a position thafc the boat might always run down to ifc before sea and wind, and guns were fired ■ and lights burnt afc night to attract the boat's attention. That the boat did not reach the ship under these circumstances appears to prove the accuracy of the captain's theory ; but there is a possibility that the boat's crew may have

been driven upon some of the nnW«J» islands in the locality, and are still, Mive. Colonel and Mrs Murray, the parents of the brave lads who showed such prompti tude in the hour of danger, clvig to this view with remarkable tenacit v, and have offered the reward mentions d above in tho hope thafc captains of ships/ navigating in the latitude in which the boat was missed may thereby bo induced ] to search Nightingale, Inaccessible, Prince I Edward's, Marion, or any otner islands upon which the crew is likely to have taken re fuge. Gough Island and Tristswi d'Achuna, which are in pretty closo proximity to the scene of the accident, have been seanched, but without effect, and the Admiralty .have issued orders that the next vessel that Tristan d'Achuna shall call at Nightingale and Inaccessible Islands. Captain Wig gins, a well-known explorer, who is thoroughly acquainted with these seas, was consulted on the matter, and he has ! given it as his opinion that, as the wind and current were westerly the men may bo found on the Prince Edward and Crosier group of Islands, or even on the Kerguelan group. The boat being a lifeboat, even if capsized, he thinks, would not have sunk, but would probably have stranded upon some of the islands 'he mentions, and it is not at all improbable thafc some of the crew may still survive if they were fortunate enough to reach land. Without a visit to these islands the point cannot be determined, and it is in the hope that some enterprising and sympathetic ship-owner may be induced to pay the visit that Lieutenant-Colonel Murray offers a reward of £1,000 for the discovery alive of his sons."

COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS

For the honour of representing the Birken head riding a spirited contest is proceeding to-day between Messrs Wm. Thompson and J. H. Witheford. The former relies for his success upon the fact of being a resi dent of the district, while the latter re minds the electors that he has taken an active interest in promoting its progress.

At Waitakerei, where there are three candidates in tho field, one gentleman even went so far as to convey a number of his supporters from town in order that their votes might be recorded at Henderson. For a mere county election this is running matters pretty well. The "Herald " is in error this momincr in statinp: that an election contest takes place to-day at Arch Hill between Messrs O'Hara and Taylor for tho honour of re presenting Newton Riding in tho Eden County Council. Tho gentlemen named wore returned unopposed last week, and the nominees for all tho Eden ridings were similarly elected. For Parnell, how ever, no nominations woro received, and Mr Collins has reported this extraordinory vacancy to the Government..

DEATH OF CONSTABLE O'SHEA.

Constable Corneli >us O'Shka, ono of the most popular men ot tho Auckland police force, died at Park Houso, Victoria-street ) at 1 o'clock this afternoon, after a long and trying illness. Constable O'Shea was a native of Cork, and joined the forco at Dun edin about ten years a<?o. It is believed that whilst engaged in the execution of his duty in securing the bodies washed ashore from tho wreck of the Tararua,ho contracted a sevoro cold, which brought on consump tion, which was actually the cause of his death. He was a very well-informed man, and for the last three or four years ho has hold tho position of clerk in Sergeant Pratt's office hero. He strovo bravely with his infliction, but had to take to his bed a few weeks ago, and lie was not able to rise again. His death is sincerely regretted by every member of the constabulary, and also by a largo circle of other acquaintances.
