The Canterbury " Loafer" writes : — In a recent speech on Reciprocity in 'the House of Lords, Lord Bateman made the extraordinary statement that " in New Zealand there were thousands of quarters of wheat annually used as manure or' thrown into the sea." The Mark Lane Express wants to know whether his Lordship is nOt mistaken. I should say : so. Anyhow, if the rest of the facts adduced by Lord Bateman in support of Reciprocity were not more reliable than the above, his speech must have been a very interesting one.
