ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY. It is not often that the arrival of a ship* tnent of goods m New Zealand waters is bo generally welcomed as the arrival of the present parcel of Waterbury Watches. By the fire on the Rimhine 3000 Watkrbubys— gold, silver, and nickel— were destroyed, and this interruption^ the regular inflowhas kept the marke bare till the landing of the present parcel The Hon. Dr. Pollen tated m the Legislative Council that 05,000 Adult Males pajr the whole of this colony's taxation maintain its Civil Service, run its railways and public works, and forms the nucleus of the colony's prosperity j and yet to this very limited population over 120,000 Waterbubys have been sold and delivered, and the shipment now landing consists of 2880 Watebbubys, which is followed by the Elinor Vernon, v m a month, with 2880 More, all Bold already to the wholesale trade, who have been waiting supplies for from three to four months. Large as these figures are, two other shipments are to arrive before Christmas, and we venture to affirm that no other watoh can show a sale m New Zealand during that period covered since the Water- [ bury advent of One to Each Hundred Watebburys. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly' send their orders to our agents as quickly as possible. , MATEBBHRY WA!EG&£iW
