As will be seen by advertisement in another column Perry's Biorama, under the auspices of the Salvation Army will show at Te Kuiti Hall on Tuesday night next. The company consists of twenty one members including a silver band, the splendid collection of pictures being shown to the accompani ment of vocal and orchestral music. The company is traveling in the interests of the Salvation Army Self Denial Fund. Miss P. Lineham, of Nelson, is at present on a visit to her brother, Mr G. Lineham, of Te Kuiti.

it was resolved to decline the an v. tion of A. H. Brown and 11 others for the Crown Land Block in 111. Pioyiotea, as a special Settlement Association, the future disposal of the land to be considered at a later date when the milling timbers '■ avc been disposed of. The Board refused a similar application for the same lande a short time ago. The improvement in the London mutton is being reflected in the pastoral districts of the Dominion. Down in Southland, as well as in the Wellington province, buyers have been offering better prices, and sellers of mutton aie beginning to feel quite their old selves again after the gloom of previous months. There is no reason to fear that the improvement will be other than permanent, or that it will not extend to lambs —a point that is of importance to those northern sheepowners who introduced Southern blood so largely last breeding season. The improvement is attributed to the American scarcity, necessitating withdrawals from England. This reminds me of the remark made by a prominent wool buyer, who was attending the Wellington wool sales last season. "We look to America," he said, "to break the market" (alluding to .the financial panics),—"but we look to America to make the market again"— the latter being an allusion to Amer ; - can competition raising the prices of wool. Apparently America is lifting mutton just now. It is good to think that America can do something besides priovding us with meat trusts. — Dominion.
