ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY.
I* is nob often that the arrival of a shipment of goods to New Zealand waters is so generally welcomed as the arrival of bho presenb parcel of Waterbury watches. By the fire on bhe Ruahine 3,000 Waterburys— gold, silver, and nickel—were destroyedi and this interruption in the regular inflow has kept the market bare till the landing of the present parcel. The Hon. Dr. Pollen stated in the Legislative Council that 95,000 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation, maintains its Civil Service, runs its railways and public works, and forms the nucleus of the colony's prosperity ; and yeb to this very limited populabion over 120,000 Waterburys have been sold and delivered, and bhe shipmenb now landing consists of 2,880 Waterburys, which is followed by the Elinor Vernon, due in a month with 2,880 More, all sold already to tbo wholesale trade, who have been waiting supplies for from three to four months. Large as these figures are, two obher shipments are bo arrive before Chrisbmae, and we venbure bo affirm bhab no other wabch can show a sale in New Zealand during the period covered since tho Waterbury advent of One to Each Hundred Waterburys. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly send their orders to our agents as quickly as possible. WATERBJJRY VVATOH CO.
