The extra price to be paid in j accordance with this volunteered advance I will amount to between £400 and £500 per ! annum. Our settlers are not slow to { acknowledge liberal treatment, and in the event of the reductions on freights not being; granted, it is to be hoped that the Association's spirited conduct will meet with such appreciation as to indirectly recoup thiß expenditure by the increase of trade.
