Papers read before the Royal Statistical Society show that while wuges have increased during the last 12 years, retail prices have exhibited a greater advance. Consequently real wagea in London have dropped by 6 per cent, during that peirod. Mr David Murray, president of the New Zealand and Australian LBnd Compny, in a speech at the annual meeting held in Edinburgh, said the world's supply of wool wan not increasing, while wool wearers annually became more numerous. The remains of an extennive orchis toric aborigines camp, belonging to the stone age, have been discovered nt Port Macquarie. The whole nreta ia covered with kitchen middr.ns und other relics.

Both sides are working hard, and the Press is inundated with correspondence for and against malum: the electorates "dry."
