THE VICTORIAN BUTTER MARKET.

TO THE EDITOR. Sin, — I wish to offer a few remarks to my fellow farmers in the dairy industry on the market prospects for butter in the Australian colonies. I sec it stated butter is being exported to Melbourne, where it is fetching a paying price ; assuming that there is still a market there for it, it can only be a temporary, as it is a fictitious one, curious to say, arising out of the glut of local butter, that inducei the Government to take measures to relieve it, by giving a bonus of from one penny to threepence per pound on the prices obtained in the London market for Victorian butter. This has been so successful that the best Victorian butter fetches a better price in the London market than New Zealand butter, and what it will not pay to export commands a ready local sale, with which New Zealand butter, of even not first quality, may successfully compete for a time. Clearly, so soon as the bonus system comes to an end, which it will do when it is realised that it encourages New Zetland butter to compete with Victorian, the market will cease for us. Tho quantity exported last year from Victoria to London was 500 tons, and is increasing. In all our articles of produce, we have to consider, that irrigation from rivers, and stored waters aw well as the supplies of water from artesian wells, will ii. future very much obviate the effects of droughts, that have hitherto afforded us occasional good markets in the Australian colonies for our farming products. As the Auslralaniun says on this very subject, it is not protection that will settle the question, but the fact that Australian farmers are becoming aw.ire that they have j the climatic and other conditions necessary j for becoming independent of the products ! of New Zealand fanning. — 1 am, &c , Bovis.

Medical advice — Gratis. Rcnshaw's " Monarch of Pain" cures neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatic, and lumbago, when all othor remedies fail, and is a thoroughly genuine specific, which ought to be in every household ready for use when required. It is without doubt the best and most reliable medicine of the ago for the diseases iifiinod and it is unrivalled for its efficacy. Certainly the best medicine known is Sander and Son's Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminent powerful effects in coughs, colds, influenza; the relief is instantaueous in scriouo cases and accidents of all kinds, be they wounds, burns, scaldings, bruises, sprains, it is the safest remedy — no swelling — no inflammation. Like surprising effects produced in croup, diphtheria, bronchitis, inflammation of tho lungs, swelling, &c. ; diarrhoea, dysentry diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs. In use at hospitals and medical clinics all over the globe ; patronised by His Majesty tho King of Italy ; crowned with medal and diploma at 1 nternational Exhibition, Amsterdam Trust in this approved article, and rejec all others. llou.oway's Ointment and Pills. — Notable Facts. — Intense heat augments the annoyances of skin disease and encourages the development of febrile disorders ; therefore they should, as they can be, removed by tlicse detergent and purifying preparations. In stomach complaints, liver affections, pains and spasms of the bowels, Holloway's Ointment well rubbed over the affected part immediately gives the greatest ease, prevents congestion and inflammation, checks the threateningdiarrhiva, and averts incipient cholera. Tlic poorer inhabitants of large cities will lind these remedies to bo their best friend when any pestilence rages, or when from unknown causes eruptions, boils, abscesses, or ulccrations point out the presence of taints or impurities within the system, and call for instant and effective curative medicines.
