We learn that the Bulli sale showed iha* there was a great falling off in values of both classi-B of slock. Beef ruling fully ten shillings a head lower, bullocks fetching £6 15:* as against £7 5s to £7 10s at previous sales. Cows, both beef and store*, showtd as great a fall. Some cows wer sold at £3 7a, for which the owner two months ago refused £4 53 a head. Mieep were fully two shillings -a head down, fat wethers shorn not meeting a purchaser, though the reserve was something like 9.---6d. Ewes and lambs, in wool, 118 p r cenc being guaranteed, onlv realised 11s of course the lamb-; teing given in. Therp appears to be no other reason for the fall i han the stoppage of purchases on behaif of the freezing works. The position of Mayor of Palmerslon appears to be a coveted one as there are no fewer than four candidates, viz., Messrs Park, Wood, Edwards, and S Abrahams. Wellington has eleven candidates for Parliament and only three seats, to bV filled. Only three are Opposition candidates, thus leaving eight of the gr -at Libi-ral Party hungering for the loaves ami fishes. If three Government candidates get returned even then ei't^hl will have to go empty away, or be placed in the L- gis lative Council ! Politics seem to be disturbing the dwell ers in Palmerston greatly, as one eke i or writes to the Times to say — " To m« and others it is some relief to know that the day for the elec ion is earlier than aniici | pared, when I trust all our differences will be laid aside and a feeling of good will to all will once more prevail amongst us." The inference is very clear. Mr C. Halliday has resigned from the chairmanship of the Palmerston Schoo Committee, and Mr Rutherford was elected in his place. It is notable that the Payne family holding pure artistic tastes, did not permit the curtain at the Public Hall to be unrolled, thus affording much relief to their many patrons A warning letter has been received by a resident of Broken Hill with reference to the siate of affairs in Paraguay, where the •• New Australia " colony was recently established. The writer says that all the English colony schemes started there have failed, and that the Government has im posed enormous taxes on exports. He f.-lt it his duty to write. to Australia to prevent, if popsii-lrt, the misery and suffering thai would inevitably result if bands of Australian co onists went there with a vii-w to successfully sett ing down in the country. •Mr Wilson has arranged to speak at the Oroua Bridge on Wednesday and at shannon on Thursday. One candidate at anv rate has bepn nominated for Otaki, as Mr J. G. Wilson has placed his wiih the Returning officer. Mr Fraser must not omif BGnding*,his in.- ....... Almost a triumphant progress has been made by Mr Wilson down the coast. He has had capital meetings at Paraparamu. Taitai, Wainui, Upp<-r Hutt an! Wa Ilaceville, and has rec ived votes of coufidence at all. At the Taitai a lady moved the vote, thus showing the progress they are making. Mr Montague advertises a sale of fur niture at the tesidence of Mrs. Mcllvride on Thursday afternoon. Horße owners are reminded that flomina tions for the Otaki Kace meeting ciose at Oiaki at 9 o'clock tonight. ,he Otaki telegraph office closes at 5 p m. A meeting of the supporters of iiv 3. G Wilson is called for next Monday afternoon at Messrs McMillan Rhodes £Co'a store. Mr J. G. Wilson will address th« electors at Foxton. on Monday evening, at the Public Hall. On Tuesday the Chairman and Secretary of the Manawatu Rabbit Extermination Society had an interview ct Bulls with the settlers on the north of the Rangitikei River, re taking- action to cope with the pest th*re. Mr Robinson, the Chairman of the Society, was called upon to take the chair and exp ained what had be»n done in this district. The Rangitikei settlers fully approved of what had been done, and also with the suggestions made, and nrider took to take i nimdiate steps to fight the enemy in thoir district Mes«rs Robinson and VcLennan are to be congratulated on the success of thair efforts.
