Holders oi oats must be having rather an unhappy time the Dunedin JStarJ. 'ine jnarhets all rouuu have gone to pot during tlie pust threu weeks. The value oi good dry darto u s to-day can be rougnly set down at about 2s per bushel, f.0.b., and lower grades at is lid, or at the most Is •i.l.id. liven at those prices there is very little business doing ; worse still, nobody seems to expect the new season s oats to open at a high price. Cnless something unforeseen happens there will not be much activity this year amongst speculators in Otago oi elsewhere. They have badly burnt their lingers and are cautious. In lines other than oats the present buyiugs are simply from hand to mouth.

An offer to bring a further batch oi 200 boys out to New Zealand, to become farm workers, has been made by Mr T. E. Sedgwick, who brought out Q party oi 50 three years ago, by way of an experiment. The success oi the scheme has led Mr Sadgwiok to maku an oiler to the Government, contained in a letter he has forwarded to the Prime Minister (the Hon. W. F. Massey). Mr Bob Craig, who has ior a largo number of years been driver oi one oi Cruig and (Jo.'a coaches between Roxburgh and Lawrence, is about to sever nis connection with that linn, he having accepted the managership of a large livery stable business in Otautau. I luring the time he has been on the run between Roxburgh and Lawrence Mr Craig has been a very popular and obliging official, and we feel sure lie will bo much missed by the travelling public,with whom his interesting yarns —Bob always had a good joke—helped to while away the time on the journey ; while with tho business and general public he could always ibe depended on lo attend to their various wants in a conscientious manner. We wish Mr Craig and his, 'family success in their new sphere.
