NEW ZEALAND FAR. TRIBUTLMG COMLIMITED. WEEKLY lil Welling Mj.i During the last few days new .atoes have been arriving freely/ and prices of 'both new and old have declined acording. We anticipate tkt demand for old lines to rapidly decline. Local crops of potatoes give every promise of a good harvest and a marked (freedom from blight. Onions still command high values nad trade is consequently restricted. The outstanding feature of the produce -ale is the exceptional increases in iloar, bran and pollard. The advances jn these three lines since the outbreak of .hostilities has been £5 10s, £3-15s and £1 10s per ton respectively. At present rates consumption is being >estricted, and but little trade will result meanwhile. Maize, barley and peas are recommended as the best vaiue in poultry foods offering just now. There has been a good demand for old chaff and values are maintained, in spite of new lines : being available. Eggs have advanced and ue likely to keep up in price, as many poultry-keepers will doubtless go out of the line. Rape seed is exceedingly scarce, also good lines of Algerian seed bate. We are pleased to report that our information is to the effect that the crops, with, the exception ot one or two localities will be well up to the average yield.

After taking Chamberlain's Tablets for a 6hort time my health was greatly improved and I have had no return of my trouble, 1 am now n good health and reckon i owe it to Uhamberlaiß'e Tablets."
