The favourable weather which has fceen experienced during the week j. : i->-ht throughout the South Island, cr.soled farmers to push on. with their harvesting. In all districts farmers are a cither busy stacking cr thsoshine :i where the mills are available. 1: is apparent that the quality of South <•' Island wheat, taking it all'round, will t' r.ot be so <{oocl as that of the v. .tea: garnered last season. The yield-, on the other hand, arc very good, ami the • t! first estimate of returns for the season will be exceeded. Y\'hile there is :> a variation in the quality of wheat { from Canterbury, the bulk of the offerings from Otago have been accepted ;• /or milling. Only in exceptional eases (j; arc the offerings not being accented Tho advanced price of 3s Cd a bushel for Tuscan, with the usual inducement.for Hunters ami Velvet, v.-ill continue io the end of March for Canterbury rr t v.'hcat. In April there will be an. ad- p yance of Id per lb for this wheat, but in Otago the advance of Id will n.A <v take place until May. There is not a jircat deal of fowl wheat offering. Mer- " chants have been holding off the mr.r-3-:ei as there will be a greater quan- v t;tv of this wheat available than was Inc case last season.. The Canterbtrrv market rules about 3s a bushel on " trucks, sacks extra, which is equivalent to 3s 3d f.o.b. This quotation establishes the price here at'3s Gd, sacks < ;:tra, for wholesale hues. Small lots sire worth up to 4s ex ; tore. The future f i the local fowl v.-l-.eat market will ricpend on the conditions under which inreshing is carried on from now onwards. If the bulk of Otago wheat is m:-table fcr milling, it will mean that supplies of t'jtvl wheat for tins district v.all have to be drawn from Canterbury. If, however, wheat 'is seit and c.amaged by the weather, the local market will weaken because there will b< greater ouantity offering than ca ?>•-' absorbed. Sample? of cats, v.-k:c'-.

' " ''n.e demand for chaff continues quiet, ,- ! -h sa'.r ; confined to ex store lots. ' r "ese sa^- _ are going through at £4 o : p: a ton, sacks extra. Supplies for the :■ Jocal market are still being drawn 7 Irom Canterbury. 7 The potato market is fairiv steady. - J :ujcat!or..s point to heavier supplies ; v i'oming in now that the weather has ~ .'tnproved. _ Current values are £5 a : .'. 7 "en sacks included, ex truck, for best quality. Up to the present, the uer and from the North Island has been > on the quiet side, but according to re3'Orts supplies will be wanted tiiero < r-rlv m April. North Island crops j.;-ve not turned the season, and i; is f rpccted tltat stocks will be exhausted J :ere at the end of the present month.

Then- nothim; strained ! or artificial about "Love's Old Sweet 1 Sonr,." It is a simple tale of the old- , fashioned type in which the inevitable i villain is a real \ illain and the hero; is cast in thoroughly heroic mould. In j a satisfying finale villainy reaps its | just desserts and the hero th.e reward '.hat all lovers' court.
