A telegram received by Air. R. Smith, chairman of the Pahiatua branch of tlie New Zealand Farmer's l moil, and read at to-day’s conference, from the Hon.J-Hall Jones Acting Premier regretting exceedingly that urgent business necessitated his remaining in Wellington, and prevented his attendance at the social here to-night. We received no less than a dozen sheets of “flimsy” this morning, witn respect to Air. Seddon’s reception at Adelaide. This is “piling on the agony” with a vengeance, and the sooner Air. Seddon returns home tiie better for the newspaper proprietors of this colony, who have to pay for all the “piffle.' that lias been cabled during Air. Seddon’s stay in Australia not the Great Alan himself.

Air. A. Gilbert, of Ivomni, brought to our office this morning two splendid stalks of field beans. On one staik there were 51 beans, and on the other 50. They afford an indication of the splendid soil of the Konini district.

Air. G. Alatthews inserts a replace advertisement to-day notifying that he can supply coal cheaper than Wellington prices. He makes a speciality of Abel-main coal, and also stocas Coalbrookdale and Brunner nuts, with special quotations at per truck. The value of reputation for commercial morality in a business community was exemplified at a creditors meeting at Auckland last week. Although the deficiency approximated £2OOO, and the assignee conceived it to be his duty to refer the bankruptcy to the Crown solicitor, with a view to proceedings, unless a more detailed statement was supplied to him than he had Irten able to get so far, the meeting of 23 creditors expressed every sympathy with the bankrupt, attributed the bankruptcy to misfortune, and desired that no proceedings should be taken, but rather than the discharge from bankruptcy should be facilitated.
