ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY.

It is not often that the arrival of a shipment of goods in New Zealand waters is so generally welcomed as the arrival of the present parcel of Waterbury watches. By the fiie on the Ruahine 3000 Wate .bobys— gold, silver, and nickel — were destroyed, and this interruption in the regular inflow has kept the market bare till the landing of tbe present parcel. The Hon. Dr Pollon stated in the Legislative Council that. 95,000 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation, maintain its Civil Service, run its railways and public works, an] form the nucleus ot the colony's prosptrity ; and yet to this very limited population over 120,000 Waterburys have been sold and doliverod, and the ship ment now landing consists of 2830 Waterbubys which is followed by the Elinor Vernon due in a month, with 2880 More, all sold already to the wholesale trade who have been waiting supplies for from tlireo to four months. Large as t^eß« figures are two other shipments aro to urrive before Christmas, >nd wo venture to alfirm that no other watch can bliow a sale in New Zealand during tho period covered since ihe Waterbury advent of One to Each Hundred Waterburys Jewellers and retail dealorß will kindly sond their orders to our agents as quickly as possible.
