ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY.
It is not often that the arrival of a shipment of goods in New Zealand waters Is so generally welcomed as the arrival of the present parcel of Waterbury watches. By tho tiro on the Ituahino 3000 Watebbijrtsgold, silver, and nickel -were destroyed, and this interruption in the regular inflow ha. kept the market bare till tho landing of the present parcel. The Hon. Dr. Pollen stated in the Legislclive Council that . 95,000 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation, maintains its CWI Service, tuu its railways and publio works and forms the nucleus of the colony's prosperity ;and yet to this very limited population over 120,000 WATEBDUnVB have been sold and delivered, and the shipment now landing consisls of 2880 WATEimunss. which is followed by the Elinor Vernon, due in n month with 2880 Mows, all sold already to tho wholesale trade who have been waiting supplies for from three to four months. Large as'ihcse figures are two other shipments are to arrive before Christmas and we venture to affirm thai no other watch can show a sale in New Zealand during tho period covered since tho I Waterbury advent of O.ie to Each Hundred Wateiibubvs. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly send thoir orders to our agents as quickly as possible WATEHDUEY WATCH CO.
