M. Waterhouse, who has just returned to the coltny after a a absence of five years in England has made the following remarks to a Dunedin interviewer:—“ I saw Mr Perceval, the Agent-General, several times. Ho is ft popular man in the city, and I believe a ▼ary excellent Agent-Gmerril. - Ho pushes the colony vigorously, and I found ho was very much respected by all those with whom he was brought in contact. He stands well amongst moneyed men, and is looked upon »saman whose judgment ia quite to be relied upon, and that is a great thing with BQ Agent-General. I do not think there is a better Agent-General in London. The appointment of so young a man was, of course, an experiment,,but it Las turned out very satisfactorily. la the consolidation of loans Mr Perceval has shown great ability, and bus consolidated them upon most favourable terms for the colony. With respect to your present Premier, Mr Seddou has succeeded, whether rightly or wrongly 1 do not profess to say, but he hr.a succeeded in setting the confidence of the EngUsn financial public; and there is no doubt whatever in my mind that had the result of the elections been to put Mr Scddon out of office, it would, at any rate for a time, have had an unfavourable influence Upon the colonial money market at Homo. I find this is not only my own opinion but the opinion of nearly all with whom I have been brought in contact. The real reason of his being popular as Premier, I believe, is that without borrowing She finances have shown a surplus. Of course, that is duo to other circumstances, bub ho has the whole credit of it; it is something marvellous.”

The heavy crops are very much laid, and will suffer considerably if the wet weather continues. A good many crops of oats have already been cut, and given fine weather harvesting should be pretty general in about fourteen days. Our Timaru correspondent writes:—A strong southerly squall, with rain, struck Timaru about 3 a.m. yesterday, and for about three hours rain fell heavily with a driving wind. Showers fell at frequent intervale throughout the day, and it appeared to be raining all day inland, as it hsd dons the previous day. The weather is moat unfortunate for shearing and haymaking. The Addington Market.— The following ia a summary of the business transacted at the weekly live stock market at Addington yesterday : —There was a fair attondonce of the general public, and though business waa by no moans animated, buyers showed a gvoater inclination to operate than they have dona for some weeks past, and a number of the best aheap were taken for export. Entries for the day comprised 3516 sheep, 1200 lambs, 141 head of fat cattle, 172 head store and dairy cattle and 150 pigs. A medium yarding of store sheep mat with a poor demand, the bulk of the entry being composed of secondrate ewes and lambs. The fat sheep market was fairly supp ied, but beyond a few good linos of cross-bred wethers suitable for export the yarding was mostly made up of aged cross-bred ewes. All really prime mutton sold at a slight advance, while for second quality late rates were fully maintained. A large yarding of lambs met with an improved market for all suitable for export, but weady sorts suffered a slight decline. A very mes lino grown by Mr J. Campion, of Halawell, by Border Leicester rams out of half-bred ewes, was sold by Mr David Matson and topped the market at 12s 4d. In the fab cattle market prices for those sold by auction were well maintained, while some good lines of dealers’ cattle changed bands privately at satisfactory rates. The entry of store cattle was a decidedly mixed one, but all useful sorts readily found purchasers. The pig market was only fairly supplied, and business in tho heavier sorts was only done at a considerable reduction on rates lately ruling.
