Q Auckland.— The " Herald" of August 2 says : — The Southerners are rushing this market too rapidly ■with their produce, especially haras and bacon, and cheese, and we would advise caution in every respect, as the local production is calculated to counteract any demard for imports, and that, therefore, they only Bubject themsolves and others to a serious loss.
