Hitherto there has been very little necessity to berth vessels for cargoworking purposes at the King's Wharf. During the Dast few weeks it has been utilised for a berthing-place for laidup vessels of the Union Company's fleet, and certain work yet remains to be done in the way of crane equipment. On Monday morning the first steamer actually to use the wharf for working cargo will come alongside —the Tyser steamer Tomoana. She has about a thousand tons of general merchandise from New York to put out, ar>d will berth at the King's Wharf for the purpose. In its issue of to-day the New Zealand Farmers' Union Advocate says that New South Wales has had good reason to appreciate New Zealand's action in reg&vrd to the fruit-fly. It had, tho Advocate states, "the immediate effect of arousing the local department to action. A large number of inspectors were put on, and -a vigorous campaign was initiated against the disease. Thus growers who were doing their best to keep their orchards clean were encouraged to renewed efforts, and the indifferent growers wore forced into line. The result is that fruit-growing in New South Wales is on a better footing than it has ever been. As to the New Zealand consumer, instead of New Zealand being .a dump, ig ground for inferior fruit, only sound and decent quality fruit is now sent to us from Australia. This disease is being effectivelj' guarded against, and our markets are being supplied with a good article. The present action of the Federal authorities in refuting to accept New ' Zealand potatoes, even when accompanied by a certificate, clearly shows that there is no sentiment about the Commonwealfih politician, and after this he can hardly complain if New Zealand treats his products in a similar manners" There was a considerable quantity pf live stock on the Ulimaroa when she left last evening for Sydney. Mr. Gadsby, of Hawera, consigned sixteen draught horses, Messrs. Pearce and Hammond twenty-four mixed draughts (six geldings and eighteen mares). There were also two pony stallions from Hawkes Bay, shipped by Mr. M*Lean, and a thoroughbred mare was sent by Mr. llhodes, thus making the total number of horses forty-three. In addition, there was oh board a consignment of 101 Lincoln rams, shipped by Mr. H. J. Thompson, of Feilding, to Dalgety and Co., Sydney. The Hinemoa, which returned to the Bluff from Campbell Island a day or two ago, brought seventy-four bales of wool, making the total clip for the season 114 bales. The steamer also brought whalebone and oil from seventeen whales, a party from Picton having had a very successful whaling season. Only one member of the Picton party returned by the Hinemoa The person who witnessed the bicycle i accident in Upper Willis-street last Monday evening week and assisted the sufferer is_ asked by advertisement to call and see him. Mr. F. J. Pinny, agent for Chappoli's pianos, inserts an extract from a letter of Messrs.

Adams and Co., 108-110, Cubastreet, strike the keynotes of fashion", and are unanimously considered the finest in the Dominion. A visit to their spacious showrooms will convince ladies of the truth of this assertion.—Advt.
