The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, have received the following cablegram from their London - offica, dated 18th inst.:— Wool -j The sale progresses firmly' There is a good American demand. , The market m oats is as dead as Julius Caesar, ar^d buyers are holding off altogether. The Mason is proving a disappointing one to holders for spring selling, and unless an unexpected market opens up, they are not likely to get equal to early seller-), and be storage, interest,' and loss of weight out of pocket. A double competition took place on Saturday between members of the Wallace Mounted Rifles and the Colac Bay Rifles'. A shooting matoh was held on the local range between the teams and resulted m a win far Colao Bay by 33 points. A football matoh was then . played, and the tables turned, the Wallace Mounteds winning by 6 to nil. For the vacanoies m the Wallace County Council, two nominations were 'received : Mr John MoNaughton, of Otaitai Bush, for the ' Aparima Biding, and Mr T. A. Buckingham, ' of Drummond, for the Otautau. There being , only the required number nominated, no ejection will take place, and the above gentlemen have been deolared elected. Both are men of oonsiderable*-«xperience, and County l ratepayers are to be congratulated on the , election of two suoh capable representatives. Dr Ogaton. distriot health offioer, visited . Otautau on Friday last and had a look round I some local premises. As a result of the report made by his assistant, submitted, to last . meeting of tbe Board, and which has been placed m the hands pf Mi McAfee, a kind of general " redding up," as the scotch say, is i 'taking place. The Health Department seems I to have a power behind the throne, and makes folks look round quick and lively when it gets on the spot' i t The recent improvements m milking machines introduced by Mr Gillies of Law-rence-Kennedy fame, are of great importance to the small dairy farmer. The great re. duotion effected- m the power brings the " L.K.G." machine within the reach of the man with 20 qows, or even less. Many ' fahnere already possess a small one or two horse power steam boiler for operating their separator, and this power is ample to work t one or even two " L.K.G." pulsators. The cost of installing a small plant under these oircumstanoea is vary trifling, and well worth the^ consideration of every dairy farmer. Messrs J.B. MaoEwan and Co..
