“The times are very dull in Taranaki at present,” said Mr Wills, who recently returned to Ashburton from a visit to the North Island. "Feed is very scarce,and I have never seen paddocks so bare of pasture in Taranaki. Good dairy cows I saw sold at 17s 6d, 25s and up to £2, cows which would have cost as many pounds as they do shillings to. day. Rain fell while I was in Taranaki and was very welcome. A large cheese factory which did not sell its output forward at the commencement of the season is only returning Is 6d per lb. for butter to its suppliers against 2s 6d and 2s 4d per lb paid by the Ashburton factories,”
