J. O'Brien, propriel or. — Advu It would appear as though, there was little difficulty in securing white labour in Queensland • sugar plantations, if the money earned is any criterion. Last season a New Zealand gang of 10 men was the top gang for the season on two farms. Their earnings came to £5 per week per man. • "We eat too much sugar," declares 'Dr Thacker, who is a candidate for the mayoralty of Christchurch. "A tremendous amount of sugar is soTd in this city, and if Sir Joseph Ward would put 6d per lb on the price of it, he. would do a good ,ithing for New Zealand. Two-thirds of the shops in Christchurch sell sugar in some form or other, and in beer sug ar does as much harm as alcohol." „ . At Kaiapoi lasi week the Hon. D. Buado read a .sreturn prepared by the .Valuation Department showing that in six months the registered sales of freeholds of ,£IOOO or over throughout the Dominion 'averaged 34 per cent above the Government valuations. The figures, said Mr Buddo, indicated that there was unusual activity in •Auckland rural land. The values, it is believed, are inflated in some ms>tricts, in Canterbury particularly. For the- purpose of encouraging art in Auckland, an effort is being made by the Auckland Society of Arts to raise £3000 to form a permanent art purchase fund. The society, has written to the trustees of the Auckland Savings Bank asking for assistance to the extent of ~ £2000, and it. is proposed to endeavour to raise £500 by subscription, which, with a Government subsidy of £500 already received, would produce the necessary . £3000. . x " S.

The amount struck consternation amongst members, and ''MrMurdoch- appeared to voice, the general . opinion when he stated "rigid economy must be the watch word for the year."
