J " The report ofjthe Progress Mines.of New , Zealand, -Ltd. 1 ,-for 1907, states that during the .year; 55,305 tons of ore were treated and the sum of .£07,400 realised from' gold. * ''.This', /.amount, .together.:;with, .£B63'received for interest,'etc., makes the total gross.revenue for .the year £98,264, a decrease over tho previous year of .£5,438, the tonnage treated being also . 3795 tons. less. Expenditure in New Zealand and London.on mining and milling and general, expenses amounted to <£60,773 as compared with'>C55,79d : f0r ;1906, ''or ,£4978 more,-and leaving a profit •; 0f.'.£37,490, 'a - decrease over 190G'' of . <£10,416. "This-sum,wadded to the-balance, of 429,330 brought .forward from the i-,preceding year, gives: a total, of <£66,821, out of which ,£•1193 has been .written off as expended- on shaft sinking and development,, .£3485 for'do-' ; preciation on plant and buildings, ,£2SB3,fqr . income-tax and <£300 carried to rcservo against • doubtful debts,*"leaving 'a balance of. <£55,958.

Tho development" in tho' mine has'been concentrated principally upon tho opening up of the reef in the -lowest, or' No. 11-.level. This appears to bo a valuable ore body' containing high grade quartz, a con-, sulcrnblo quantity of which has been sent to the mill,,but largely owing to its extraordinary position, and flatness-the working-costs have, been seriously affected.;/).'The crushing returns, however,-'since -tho end\of tho year show a large falling-off in ; the'value of the stopes in tile upper; levels.' During-t.he year a very considerable, amount of development work has been carried out, comprising 557 ft. of raising "and sinking.and 1424 ft. of driving and crosscutting at accost 0f.,£4193, besides' which' 144Gft;' • of diampnd, drilling-was done at a-'cost of ,£7l6:' . As regards extraction, the experiments-': referred to in-the last annual report as about *tl i £ arrie "J" Messrs. Johnson and Sons - Ltd., bare'been satisfactorily-concluded, -tin-, foreseen' difficulties arose in "the courso of their . experimental tests, but after much unavoidable delay,tho principle of Messrs. Johnson and Sons' process has been established, andtlio necessary plans and specifications are now being prepared with -a view to' placing the oruer for the additional plant required. Tho company's hajf-interest in the Blackwater mino has been satisfied by the allotment to it of 100,000 shares as forecasted in tho last report.

. FINANCING CANADA'S CHOPS. In tho autumn months,. wlien it becomes necessarv to move tho harvested crops to the seaboard for shipment, thero is generally monetary stringency, and last ,• year both tho United States and Canada suffered severely, but measures have been taken to prevent a of the trouble. The plan outlined in Canada, and which was to have received Parliamentary sanction, is to.a certain extent modelled on the German system. There is provision, to authorise the chartered banks .to . issue . excess or emergency circulation, in addition to the rights thoy now enjoy, equal" to 15 per cent. of. combined capitals and reserve funds, or surpluses. Thcso notes are to bo identical in form and substance with the ordinary or normal issues.. Thoy will oe a first lien on ■ the banking assets, and be covered by mutual guarantee. To ensure as much -as possible that this enhanced right to create currency., will.- be used for the purposo of moving the crops, it is stipulated that the privilege may bo availed of only during the .last .foflr.,nipnths, l of. the calendar year. The oiiiergencj-'issue 1 is to pay a-tax of 5 per cent. This., feature, of the law is, Considered, by financiers. tq;bo one of great value, since it affords far', more, protection 'that tho laws in the. States safeguarding'.the . national : banks. It. is calculated that the effect of the new law will bo to add about .£. r >,000,000 to tho, sum available for circulation' by tho Canadian Banks, thus making , the .total available circulation at least .£25,000,000: *

(BY TELEGBArn—rRESS association.) Christchurch, August 12. At tho Addington livo stock market to-day thero lvero small entries of stock and an equally small attendance at tho yards. Fat cattle and iat lambs sold at about tho previous week's prices, and fat sheep wore rathor easier. Pigs met with a good sale.. A few lines of breeding owes, mostly good sorts, and odd lots of hoggets and wethers formed tho entry of store sheep. Thero was an improvement in tho demand, and a clearanco was effected at prices that showed a little improvement iu the cases of tho hotter classes of sheep. Twotooth ewes made up to 17s. fid.; young ewes of mixed ages to 18s. 2d.; down owes, to 14s. 10d.; best hoggets, to 13s. 3d.: and half-bred wether hoggets, lis. 9d. to 12s. 6d. Tho first line of owes with lambs for this season were offered, and failed to find a buyer at tho reserve put upon them, though tho lambs wero a well-grown and healthy lot. There were about a dozen lots of fat lambs penned, and they met with good competition up to late rates, prices ranging from 12s. to lGs. Bd., and a few up to 18s. There was a small yarding of fat sheep, and owing to the butchers having bought heavily the week before tho demand was_ slack, and prices for wethers were rather easier. Tho range of prices was:—Extra prime wethors, 245. 9d. to 365.; prime, 18s. Gd. to 225. Gd.; others, lGs. to 18s.; extra prime ewes, 225.; primo, 17s. to 205.; medium, Ms. to lGs.

Fat sheep: There was a largo yarding, close on 3000 being forward. . A good proportion. were first-class wethors. There wore fewer ewes than usual, and for those prices improved. Owing to poor competition by outsiders the sale dragged at the finish, with prime sheep slightly easier than opening rates. Primo wethers, 19s. Cd. to 215.; a few extra heavy, to 255.; medium, 16s.
