THE MARKETS.
Pn« AaeocUtton—By Telegranh-Copyright Adelaide, January 22. Five hundred and twenty-five tons of butter were shipped to London this season. It represented a clear gain of between £50,000 and £60,000. In the course of an interview with the Minister of Agriculture a deputation pointed out that recent experiments demonstrated that the very finest packing which could be obtained for apples was shredded ti tree bark. A quantity of this bark was imported into the colony recently at a cost of £11 per ton. The Minister pointed out chat there was no necessity to import bark from Queensland. The ti tree grew abundantly in Victoria, and if some sort of machine which could shred the bark waa obtained, the settlers would have a most profitable industry.
