They left r b'y th*e Tekapo for Sydney, very v 'favbur,ably im* pressed with the nature T &n3-' extent of the prospects offered'- y iri 'Hmf colony. Messrs Bteley and^Qo.. Christchurdti land Mlso^il^a^Jlm; appointed the chief agents 'for NW Zealand, and the company-; hW^ttej&jT fortunate enough to ■ secure ;' roe? services of Mr S. Waters to ao^ifc* its agent for the Wellington ;»ndTaranaki districts. The nia^n^of Mr S. Waters is a househoJ^Mfrd in Wellington.

The importance' of bpen4ijg up new markets for the producer cannot be overrated/ and through the extensive connections .©t-M^wjKL Goldsbrough, Mort and Obi m -AmJ tralia the New Zealand producer will now be able to "reach a fresh class of customers. It is expe^tetf that woolgrowers will' speedily^ findt it to their advantage to participate" in the auction sales in AuatWH^ 1 as prices realised at" tbeie* 8al«& ! compare favourably with .those of the Home sales, while the charges are considerably less. Mr Waters is about to take offices in the city, and to enter with charaoteristio zeal on his new duties. His many friends will wish him the suooes he < deserves.— 'Post. .
