Mr John" Leydon's Weekly Report.— Business brisk, bub the buyers were chiefly confined to 6ountry residents. Attendance at each sale has been very good, prices were low, and consequently the various lines-were quitted quickly. New furniture was in little demand, bub sold more readily than tho previous week. Very little second-hand furniture came in, but what did was quickly disposed of. Pricos were as follows : •■-• Ladies' saddles, L 3 10s ; gents', 30s to L 2 15s; bridles, 3s 6d to 5s Gd; bedsteads, 3s (3d to 30s; chests of drawers, mottled kauri, L 3 6s ; large chest, polished kauri, L 3 ; small, 8s 6d to Ll ; couches in cretonne, L 2 ; bedding and palliasses were in no demand ; oval tables, 19s ; leather chairs, 5s ; spring mattresses, 2os to 35s Several lines of drapery wero quitted.

Messrs Hunter and Nolan's Report :— Horse feed, grain, seeds, etc. : Feed oats have been plentiful, butTartarians far short of requirements.

Horses : There has been a little improvement in both supply and demand. There was a fair muster at the Durham yards on Fri day, and steady competition for some lots ; reserves could nob be reached, bub few remained unsold. There remained an un satisfied demand for medium draughts and good hacks. We quote : Strong spring cart horses, Ll'2 5s to LIS 15s ; light harness, from L 7 to LlO ; hacks, from L 6 to LlO las. Wool, hides and skins : Moderate supply ; steady demand, with little alteration in value.

Cattle: There has been considerable aninia tion, and an upward tendency in prices for fat stock, owing to no animals from the -Vest Coast. There was rather a short muster at Newmarket, on Tuesday of all descriptions, and prices for well-fatted steers advanced from 10s to 20s per head. Wc quote : Calves, from 10s to 20s; yearlings,from Ids to 255; dry cows, from .Ll 10s to L 2 15s; grown steers, few offering ; beef, 17s to 20s per 1001b. Sheep : Owing to non-arrivals from West Coast, tho number yarded ab Newmarket was below the average, and generally of an in ferior quality, consequently extreme prices were given for thoso of a good quality, 21s 6d being given for good wethers ; inferior, from Lis to 17s ; ewes, from 14s 3d to 15s (id each ; spring lambs, from 7s to 13s Gd. Pigs were plentiful, but were wellconipetea for, and sold ab lasb week's values.

' Mr Alfred Buckeand's Weekly Re port.—At the Haynnirket, on August 12th, loose fodder was firm in price, ranging from 3s to 4s 3d the cwt.

Pigs,plcntiful; well bred porkers in demand at satisfactory prices, but coarse pigs at very low rates.

Messrs Banks and Co.'s Weekly Re port.—At Parawai on Thursday the supply of fat cattle was rather under the average, which caused a better feeling than was observable at last week's sale, and prices recovered to tho extent of 10s per head, steers selling at from L 4 15s to L 6 17s Gd each, or about 18s per 1001b.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1887.

For the cause that lacks assistance. For the -wrong that needs resistance, For tho future in the distance, And the good that w« can do.

The detailed news by the San Fran cisco mail giVes a much more hopeful view of the prospects of the English Liberals than we had been led to take from the brief cable records. The Liberal Unionists, it is true, are even more widely alienated from their old party than they were at the opening of the new Parliament, but the results of the by -elections support Mr Tre veieyan's statement at Glasgow that they will not carry with them the great mass of the Liberals, who could not accept Home Eule as represented in 1886. " From the first," said Mr Trevelyan, "I disapproved of Liberals supporting Conservatives against Liberals. No words of mine can be quoted in which I advised this course of action, which proves to every unprejudiced man that the policy of the dissidents aims not at a settlement of the Irish question by amending bills presented in 1886, but at the suppres sion of the Liberal party. I cannot partake of that policy. The dissident leaders have not accepted Gladstone's offers, and refuse to be reconciled to the Liberal party, preferring to give their support to the Conservatives." The country is not blind to the general tendency of Lord Hartington's lead. Even in London, which has polled before so strongly Conservative, a strong reaction has set in. At an election in Paddington on July 8. the number polled by the successful candi date, a Conservative, was only 418 votes more than his Gladstonian opponent. In the previous election the Conservative candidate had a majority of 910. In the Middlesex dis trict, which was so strongly Conserva tive that the Liberals declined to contest the last election, the Conservative vote showed a diminution of 400 as com pared with their majority in 18S5. The defeat of Admiral Tryon, whose return had been counted on as a certainty, and the triumph, of Mr Trevelyan at Glasgow, are all signs of returning con fidence in Mr Gladstone's lead.

It is perhaps due to these strong hints that the Unionists have felt it im perative to make Lord Salisbury and the country understand that they have still a distinct and potent entity apart from the rank and file of the Conservative following. It was the withdrawal of their vote that led to the defeat of the Government on the Cass affair, a singular political incident which is described fully by our London correspondent in another column. The stir which has been made over the case of this poor work-girl, as well as the public feeling aroused over the wrongs of Mrs Langworthy, shows that the will to protect the weak from oppression, which has been the boast of the Eng lish nation, is as strong as ever. The Liberal Unionists have also brought their power to bear in securing salutary amendments in the Government Irish Land Bill, which was introduced to modify the violence of the feeling evoked by the Crimes Act. The Land Bill, as amended, will materially re strict the power of the Government to carry out arbitrary evictions. It gives the Land Commissioners power for the space of three years to adjust the rents of leaseholders upon application either of the landlord or tenant, by a calculation of the value of the produce according to a recognised standard. The adjustment is to be for one year at a time. This amendment was specially framed in the interest of Ulster landlords and ten ants. The compulsory bankruptcy clauses, which were obnoxious to the Liberals, were also dropped from the bill. In its amended form, the Irish leaders and Liberal party were disposed to let the bill go through as alleviating in some degree the condition of the tenantry. The Liberal Unionists are thus driving the Conservatives unwil lingly along the track of Liberal legislation, and altogether matters are shaping favourably for the renewed ascendancy of Liberal principles, if not, at an early period, of a Liberal Admin istration,

THE HAWAIIAN LOAN.

The confusion that has arisen in Ha waii over the changing of the Ministry and the introduction of new forms of Government would appear to be re sponsible for the rumours that have arisen of the intention of the Hawaiian government to repudiate their loan responsibilities. So far as can be learned from Honolulu papers re ceived by the mail, there is not more than the very slenderest of grounds for supposing that repudiation is dreamt of. All that the new Go vernment are bent upon is to secure everything in legal form, to find out any possible jobbery in the floating of the last loan of and " to put on the brake " by countermanding the order given by their predecessors in office for the placing of a further loan of ;£l 00,000 on the London market. When we mention that it cost ;£-5,000 to negotiate the first named loan, of which sum are unspecified expenses, it will be seen that the guileless Hawaiians have been paying very dearly for their whistle, and that it was about time for new brooms to be plied vigorously. On the new Minister of Finance receiving from London the blank forms of bonds representing the loan, he found that they were incorrectly and illegally drawn, and he therefore refused to sign them, and gave orders that the loan agents should not place the balance of loan, until inquiries had been made. From this action the alarming reports of " repudiation " by* Hawaii, "naval pressure" by England, and " warning" by the " New York Herald," appear to have sprung. Not improbably the Opposition party at Honolulu are responsible for some of these alarming rumours; for the im prisoned Ministers have come triumph antly out of the charges of em bezzlement preferred against them, and their party is still a strong one, and is backed by a powerful section of the people. There has been a good deal of the mock-heroic about the late " revolution," and the same element is at work leading to the promulgation of absurd and improbable stories, and giving scope for a good deal of " tall talk." It is to be hoped that under the new administration the subjects of King Kalakaua will move along in a more prosaic groove, and devote them selves to works of vigorous reform and practical progress, and to do this they must promptly repudiate all idea of repudiation.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

M. De Lesseps' success in obtaining the greater part of the loan of 200,000 francs asked for to continue the con struction of the Panama Canal falsified the predictions of his many critics. In the circular announcing the new loan De Lesseps stated that the Company still retained 100,000,000 francs of the last issue, and that the new issue was proposed so that the Company should not be forced to obtain funds suddenly and under difficulties. He maintained that the canal will be completed with the 600,000,000 francs authorised by the Government, and if not entirely finished it will be opened for traffic on the date already fixed. The annual report submitted to the meet ing of shareholders held at.Paris on July 21st, however, did not speak quite so confidently of the completion of the work in 1889, but it .expressed the hope that connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific will then exist across the isthmus of Panama, and that the work will be completed soon afterwards. The bulk of the subscriptions of the new loan were taken up in small amounts, a fact proving not only the unabated con fidence which the French people have in the veteran canal builder, but also the comfort of the working classes of France. That the canal will be completed, . there can now be very little doubt. A young Frenchman, who held a post on the Panama railway, in an interview at New York, while caustically criticising the wastefulness of the canal manage ment stated his opinion that the canal could be constructed within six to ten years.. With regard to the work already done he said: At the present time in the Atlantic section the American Dredging Com pany has dredged to the extent of about twenty miles, but that work; was not quite finished. This looks like pro gress, and Do Lesseps, though a very old man, may yet live to take part in the opening of the gigantic water-way which, but for his indomitable perse verance aud courage, must have been abandoned long ago as impracticable.

FREE AND INDEPENDENT BUL GARIA.

Prince Ferdinand, who never hoped for the friendship of Russia, has lost no time in throwing down the gauntlet of defiance to the Czar; His declaration that Bulgaria is henceforth to he free and independent inflamed the Bulgarians to such an extent that the "free and independent" citizens of Tirnova at once took to grovelling at his feet, and praying to be allowed to kiss the hem of his "trousers. That is very good, perhaps, as an expression of fealty; but they must change their attitude — "stand erect in self respect," arid quit, them like men, if they wish to make good their claim to independence. Russian intriguers are busy among the Bul garians, and even when the news .of Ferdinand's election to the throne was received, the troops at Rustchuk par aded the streets crying "Long live
