FALL IN FLAX.

TO TUB EDITOR. fclß, — With reference to the contirii'erl full in the value of flax, kindly allow me lo stiite that this clook not proceed from the inferior qualities Kent home ; hut as ix hul£ evident from the prico, simply through the (hup in ■nanilla, IVelvo months ngn jnanilln wna £25 in a ton higher than

the awful rubbish that we hear of, do you not think that the whole demand would be ( for manilla, which would cause it to rise instead of coming flown. The Americans have simply ceased buying, and until they renew their operations, wo must sit with folded hands and look at our mills standing idle, for it means ruin to go on at present prices. Every bale leaving New Zealand has the owner's brand upon it, and if there was anything wrong the next mail would tell the shippers oi" it. Now, 1 have shipped over two thousand bales, and not one hale has bci-n lupiuliatcd by the purchaser ; uot only so. but in a lclfor from P.iii - i>tt& Co., of San Francibco, they stati-d " that the W.IJ.W. br.uid ga\o the utmost satisfaction, owing to its being so dry and fiv '■ from damp, and further business co'ild bu done in this brand." However, I could not see my way to send auy niuie, as tl c expenses on this shipment to Boston via 'Frisco came to JCI'J 10s a ton. 1 may add that bincc I started- 1 have always had my libro stacked for a mouth or two before scutching, and, therefore, like grain that has been threshed out of the stack instead of the slook, it was perfectly dry and iir for shipping anywhero. In conclusion, let me add that no flax should hi 1 shippeu unless the miller gives a guarantee simil.ii* to the enclosed, and then every ono knows what they are doing. — I am, i£c, AY. R. Wright. liahotu.

Hollo way's Ointment and Pills. — Coughs, Influenza. — The soothing properties of these medicaments render them •well worthy of trial in all diseases of the respiratory organs. In common colds and influenza the Pills, taken internally, and the ointment rubbed over the chest and throat, are exceedingly efficacious. When influenza is epidemic, this treatment is the easiest, safest and surest. Holloway's Pills purify the blood, remove all obstacles to its free circulation through the lungs, relieve the over-gorged air tubes, and render respiration free, without reducing the strength, irritating the nerves, or de pressing the spirits ; such are the ready means of escaping from suffering when afflicted with colds, coughs, bronchitis, and other chest complaints, by which tho health of &o many is seriously and permanently injured in most countries. During the present season llenshaw's Malt Vinegar has had the largest sale of the last five years. It is taking the foremost place of both English and Coloniil Vinegars, and cannot he surpassed for purity, strength, and flavor. Those who have not tried it should do so. — Advt.
