A leading butcher in Wellington states that the wholesale price of mutton is higher now than at any time during the past 20 years, and at the ruling retail rates he is losing at least •a shilling on every carcase he sells. He states that although the wholesale price of forequarters of mutton has gone up to per pound,the butchers are only charging their customers hoping that before long the price of sheep will come down to such an extent as will enable them to again make a profit. The Manawatu Licensing Committeee refused the application for a transfer of Rongotea wholesale licenses from A. G. Hicktord to A. Kokerstein. Before the chairman announced the decision of the committee the applicant’s solicitor (Mr Baldwin) asked for an adjournment in the order to obtain a decision of the Supreme Court as to whether the Licensing Act gave power to the committee to grant transfers. The Chairman replied that the committee had already decided to refuse the transfer and the application for the adjournment would not be entertained. Mr Baldwin was proceeding to refer to the extraordinary attitude the Bench had adopted when he was interrupted by the committee retiring on the suggestion of the chairman who refused to receive further argument.—Ad vacate.

Cyclists seem to have ideas in their beads that the whole world is theirs, but we would advise those wrong-doers who pay especial attention to footpath-riding not to be caught in the act by either of of the local officers of the law, for they intend to prosecute in future. The Manawatu and West Coast* Metropolitan Live Stock and Industrial Exhibition bold their annual spring show the first week in November. The sum of £lßxo is allocated as prize-money. It will be seen per medium of advertisement elsewhere that entries close on Ootober 13th. The Foxton Athletic Club advertise their sports programme in another column, Altogether some £ll6 is given In prizes, which should prove a big draw. The new cycle track, together with the large prize-money attached to that class of event, should draw large entries. The running events drb endowed with both prize money and trophies, and are sure to fill well. A glance at the programme should satisfy pedestrians. At the end of 1904 there was in the Post Office Saving Bank, on account of the earnings Of Inmates of Government Industrial Schools, a sum of £14,055 14s 1 id, and on account of inmates of private industrial schools £3312 19 s F° r initiates ot Government schools a sum of £1755 6s 8 “ was withdrawn during the year, and for inmates of private schools £7o 13s. On Sunday morning, while the children of St. Stephen*.? Orphan Home at Parnell (Auckland) were at breakfast, a fire broke out in an upstairs room. The children were removed to an adjoining paddock, where a distressing scene ensued, many of the little ones crying bitterly as they watched the destruction of their home and belongings. There were ninety inmates including the staff. The building, excepting the nursery, was completely destroyed. The insurance is about £1675 on the building and contents. The loss above insurance is about £550. Someone, who is evidently possessed of more pocket-money than good sense, has effected a mania for despatching post-cards (which by the way do not savour of delicacy) to Foxton residents. Many respectable citizens have been recipients of these grossly suggestive briefs, some of which have been signed “ Harold St. Alburn.” We would advise “ Harold St. Alburn ” to “ take a pull ” before he repents. If this class of individual wishes to give vent to his ignorance in such a manner, better to try it on with those maniacs of nis own calibre, not with respectable townsfolk. AN HONORABLE DISTINTION !
