According to the Wanganui HeralJ, the loss sustained by the farmers in the Waverley district, through the wet weather damaging thd grain while in stack, amounts to about one-third of the crop.
The Timaru Herald remarks :—" In Christchurch the New Zealand wine shops are an established institution. No'.hing is so'd in them but New Zealand wine. Women and children are never seen in them. The wine is pure wine, mostly made by a Spanish vigneron, at Wanganui, and contains literally nothing but the juice of grapes. Xot a single objection of any sort has been raised against the license since it was pat in operation. On the other hand, a local industry of an exceedingly valuable kind has received an impulse which will eventually make it an affair of great magnitude, while the public are afforded an opportunity .of obtaining a palatable and wholesome beve- , rage'at a moderate price,"
