A shipment of sharp-tailed grouse, consigned to the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, arrived in Auckland from Canada on Monday. Mr D. Hope, curator of the society, went to Auckland to take charge of the birds. The society has not yet decided where they are to be liberated. “'Why is it?” writes as follows to the Nelson Evening Mail: “Your paper the other night reported that Nelson grapes were selling in Wellington at Is 7d to Is ,8d per lb. Even allowing that they were wholesale prices, why is it that Nelson grapes are selling in Nelson at from 3s to 3s 6d per lb? And prime walnuts in Wellington are 6d to 7d a. pound. In. Nelson no walnuts are obtainable under 4 shilling a pound. • Why is it?”
