If Sir Walter Buchanan could prove him wrong, lie would retract. Otherwise. Sir Walter Buchanan should now admit he wais right. In a very brief reply Sir Walter Buchanan ! stated: "I have no intention of wasting my time in attempting to correct the exaggerations, which seem to be inseparable from all your utterances upon the subject."

A reply wag received by Mr Lysnar to-day as follows: "Your statement is correct. There is now dock and private storage capacity in Bristol for 200,000 carcases of mutton.
