THE LABOUR MARKET— DEC. 18, 1879. Me. Skene reports continued quietness in the demand for labour. Nothing stirring need be looked for until the Christmas and New Year Holidays are over. Notwithstanding all the complaints, it is still difficult to get skilled ploughmen, shepherds, and milkers. Couples and good useful girls are in fair demand. The building trade is promising to revive after the New Year. Hotel people are now in better demand, and professionals are in better favor. Wages have not varied since last week, but for good bands, fair wages can easily be got.
