7. As regards the current year, it now appears thai the forecast made by Her Majesty's Govern ment was over-angulse, for the proposed con. tribution of £90.000 would, with the dollar worth only probably exceed za per cent, of the Revenue. The expedient of fixing a proportion of revenue as the amount of the contribution will in the future prevent inconvenience to the Colony from the fluctuations in the value of his currency, and will, though at considerable present sacifice to the Exchequer, safegused the ultimate rights of the Home Government nearly as effectually as the expedient of prev! sionally fixing the amount in sterling for some years ahead, which was that adopted to my despettor in foreign markets, patch of 6th November, 1894. In adopting the course you have recommended, Her Majesty's Government have been largely influenced by the consideration that, so long as the contribution is fixed in sterling, the continued uncertainty in the matter of exchange is calculated to cauED A greater dislocation in the finances of the Colony than would be caused to the Imperial finances If the contribution were fixed in dollars.
The market in the colony for American fruits, canned and dried," which at one time were extensively imported, is gradually belog closed; first owing to the high, duties of 6s. (81.46) per dosen on 2-pound tins of canned, and 3d. (6 cents) per pound on dried fruit, and secondly, and perhaps more directly, to the fact that the home production is getting larger and larger and will soon be in a position to become a strong com

8. In your despatch of the 29th December test, you suggested za per cent, of the Revenue as the outside limit of expenditure on defence (including the bullding of barracks, &c.) which The Strafts Settlements might reasonably be expected to meet; but Her Majesty's Govara ment prefer to accept a lower precentage for Military Contribution, the Colony tinuing to provide, as it always has done, any capital expenditure required for lands and buildings, as well as the charges for lodgings In lieu of barracks. The exact amount which Her Majesty's Government consider fair for the contribution itself is 173 per cent. of the Revenus, with the proviso that the sum pald shail in no year exceed the total cost of the garrison for that year. I need not trouble you with the
more or less technical reasons which have led the Home Government to prefer the arrangement above indicated to that proposed by you; but I may say that, in my opinion, it will be found In the long run to be the preferible one from the Colonial point of view.
9. It is to be understood that the Revanua on which this percentage will be taken shall Include the gross receipts from all'sources which
are now brought into account as revenne, with one exception, vix, the proceeds of land sales and premis on leases, which are not strictly revenue but the proceeds of the sale of capital usals. The Revenue for 1895. less premis on leases, &c. is estimated at $3.914.501, so that a contribution of 171 per cent. would amount to $688.541. and I have cow to authorise you to limit the payments for the year to that amount In lieu of the maximum amount (3830,770) pre. vided in the Appropriation Ordinance.
10. When the ctual Revenue of 1895 is known, should it be found that there was an excess of receipts over the estimate, a further payment of 178 per cent, of such excess will have to be made. If, on the other hand, the Revenue should have fallen short of the estimate, the over-payment will have to be adjusted by deducting 171 per cent, of the defickt from the first Instalment of next year's contribution.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.
There is one thing quite observable, and that is that there is no comparison to the matter of flavor between the fruits grown in New Zealand and those of California. The New Zealand apples that I have exten are generally small, mealy, and tasteless; the same may be said of the penches, while the penes aro small, coarse" skinned, blatched and insipid.
Apples (also stone fruit) are subject to a duty of ceat per pourd, and as the highest pilce" resched during the months meallosed rarely if ever exceeds 3 cents per pcond-4 cents per pound being more frequently the price-it is galta evident that under the most fav wable circumstances, it would be exceedingly difficult to develop a remunerative trade in fresh fruit with this colony. Besides, there are no facilities for shipping fresh fruit across the Pacific, there being no cold storage in the vessels at present plying between this country and San Francisco, nor is there may likelihood of any such accom modation being made available until more modern boate are used,
fruits imported last year was 8,953 packages, Canned Frufts.—The total quantity of canned
valged at $26,155, of which quantity the United States contributed 6,245 packages, valued at $15,160, Thlí trade is not capable of any considerable expansion, owing to the sparseness of population, which does not exceed 700,000 all fold, and also because of the quantity of fresh fruit grown locally throughout the greater portion of the year.
The consumption of canned fruit la confined almost exclusively to pears, apricots and peaches, the wholesale value of which is about $1.9s to $1.43 per dosen 21 pound cans. The Americas canned goods are by far the most popular, and any natural expansion which takes place must be to the advantage of the American exporter, as he is practically without a rival in the New Zealand market. The American canned fruits aned in this country are almost exclusively.

It is admitted that the quality of the muscátel raisins Imported from California has shown a material_improvement of late years, and the "get up" leaves little to be desired. "The pre- paration of the fruit is also antisfactory, but it is alleged the general quality is not yet equal to the better classes imported from the Mediterranean. As regards pranes, they are at present put up by American exporters in boxes of 25 pounds each, but it calmed the French system of packing in nicely gotion as round tins, conlain- ing about 14 pounds, is by far the most popular method. It is alleged by those who presume to understand the difference, that the quality of the French prunes is superior and more uniform than the American product, Whether this claim la correct or otherwise, I am not competent to Judge. The consumption En not large, but some alteration in the direction Indicated might possibly lead to x material in- crease in the trade with this country.
Deled, frulis, are subject to a duty of 4 cents per pound, and the approximate wholesale prices- per pound of the varieties mentioned are: Dried apples, 13 cents; mascated raisins, 16 to 13 center prunes, 13 cents; avaporated apples 16 to 17 cents; evaporated Roricats, 17 to 18 cents; evaporated peaches, 19 to 20 dents.
