I The local fruit and produce markets have again been very dull during the week, and no improvement on last week's 'rates can be reported. Potatoes still continue to come forward in heavy supply, and sales have been difficult 'to effect. Onions were very slow of sale. Green vegetables sold at fair rates, while swedes, pumpkins, and marrows were almost unsalable. In dairy produce the butter market was unchanged, while eggs suffered a drop in price. The fruit markets were heavily stocked and the severe weather had a. serious detrimental effect on prices. Moderate ehipmnts of fruit from Sydney were landed in good order, while an excessive cargo of oranges and bananas was landed in a more or • less bad state. Heavy consignments of local apples were quitted at lower prices, i Poultry was in fair supply to strong competition and high prices.

The Colonial Ammunition Company, Ltd., has so far modernised its methods that it is now able positively to guarantee all ammunition issued from its works. Which is merely to say that the company, using only the best materials procurable anywhere/and taking scrupulous care in the making and loading of the cartridges, _ has virtually eliminated all element of risk. The cartridges are hand-charged, and each is thoroughly tested before it leaves the works. The penetration of such cartridges must be perfect; ' ignition '.■ must ; be_ instantaneous. There can be no misfires. ~ It is the discovery of those facts by New Zealand sportsmen 1 and rifle-shots that is accountable.'; for the enormous demand that..has grown up for " C.A.C." ammunition, a demand that increases every day. Choice of material for loading is left to customers, the company reserving -• the right to decline to load -anything of a nature to damage the high repute of ammunition guaranteed by the famous *' C.A.C." trademark. The company will cheerfully furnish any information in its power at any time, whether to individual sportsmen or "the trade. "C.A.C." cartridge* are stocked by all the best storekeepers arid' ironmongers ■•"_ throughout f New Zealand. Where any difficulty in obtaining , them is experienced, writo at once to the manager, Colonial Ammunition Company, Ltd., Auckland, for tho address of the nearest dealer. .
