A fire at Ruatura, says a Gisborne messags, destroyed three shops occupied by Kirk Bros, and Hunter and Johnstone. Tho damage, is estimated at over £B,OOO. Auckland telegrams received yesterday announce that a, signal honor has been gained for Dunedin manufactures at the Bakers' Exhibition held in Auckland last week. Mr 11. Gardiner, baker, of Cumberland street, won tho challenge shield for a 21b loaf of bread against competitors from all over New Zealand. Ihis is a most meritorious result for one of our Dunedin bakers to have achieved. Ihe flour from which the exhibit was made was manufactured by the Crown Milling Company. Mr W. J. Faulkner, confectioner, employed bv Mr A. Purchcs, baker, N.E. Valley, gained first prize for confectionery from flour manufactured by the Crown Mills for his buns, and by Messrs Harraway and .Sons for hot-plato goods.

The price of milk at Port Chalmers has not yet been reduced to the price now ruling in the city. At the Port the cash price is .still 6d per quart. Evidently the wheat crop in New Zealand show's a prospective surplus, since the Government has authorised the porting of two large cargoes to the East. The exact destination is not yet disclosed. Some siy the wheat is for Japan. That may or may not bo correct; but the grain is going come where to the north, of Australia, and it is to he shipped pretty soon from Canterbury ports at a price exceeding that which could be got- for delivery in London.

Medium-sized residences, four and fiveroomed, tit moderate prices—fay up to £.l,Coo—are in brisk demand just now in Dunedin, would-be purchasers eagerly inquiring.

Are any of our Dunedin musicians or entertainers able to spare an hour occasionally to go to the Wakari Sanatorium and cheer up the patients? If so, the poor fellows who are there, finding the hours dragging, would be very grateful. A visit can easily be arranged by a 'phone ring to the matron.. Now apples are now coming in freely 'to the .IJunedin market from Cemtital Ota go and other places. Cooking forts are in good 1 supply, and tho dessert kinds that are reaching the auction rooms include Cox's Quango and Delicious, the latter realising about 5d per lb wholesale. Dessert pears had a. very short run this season. Whilst in they came with a bang and glutted tho market, but they lasted no time. This morning ti the sales Christclnurh tomatoes flumped badly, good, wellconditioned table fruit going for about 2d per lb—a price that certainly will not pay' tho growers. The Kaikorai Band played in tho Botanic Gardens yesterday afternoon, when, in spite of the unfavorable weather, the music was enjoyed by a numerous audience. The band was in good form, and the rendering of the various items reflected credit on the conductor and the bandsmen.

Tn Christ-church, it is said, men who feel a call to tho publicans' profession are tumbling over one another in their rush to secure houses, and fancy prices are going. This precipitancy is not observable iii IJunedin, and it certainly does not prevail in the country parts of Oiago, where, in common with other rural districts, tho hotelkeesf.rs are experiencing a touch of hard times, on account of the increased cost of spirits and the decrease of custom owing to the reduced earnings of tabbitcrs and the unsettlement of the harvesting mdustrv. Moreover, the early closing now compulsory by statute hits the country publican with peculiar severity. A country township is practically asleep during tho hours in which the selling of liquor is legal. It is towards evening, when travellers arrive and workers begin to assemblo for some recreation after their toil, that business could be done if permissible. Yet the smallest and most out-of-the-way bush "pub" has to pay the same license fee a-s the larL'e houses in town.

Tho only case before Mr H. W. Bundle, S.M., in the City Police Court this morning was one in which Thomas Gray Risit was charged with stealing a pocket wallet valued at £l, and a diamond brooch valued at £l9, tho property of Robert Spray.
