Scrofula, Rickets, and Bone and Blood diseases, nothing equals it ; its tonic qualities are of the highest order. A Medical Institution says! "We have used your preparation in treating children, for coughs, colds and inflammation; its application has never failed us in any case, even the most aggravated bordering on pneumonia. "The children like it, and it builds up their bodica ; many, little children owe their lives to it. The more it is used the less will be the ravages of disease from infancy to old age. It is both a food and a medicine,- modern, scientific, and effective from the first dose. It never deceives or disappoints, and is the medicinal triumph of our time. "There is no doubt about it." Sold by chemists.

"On perusal of the import tariff it is noted that there is a consumption tax of 15 per cent. on woollen textiles; wool still comes in free of duty. The tax is collected when the woollen textiles, or mixtures, are taken from the manu factory, Customs or bonded warehouses. All colton goods would appear to be free from all taxes if manufactured locally, and this bas, doubtless, been done with a view to keep the local mills working.

"To 1901 Japan imported wool and woollen goode of a total value of £1,631,606, of which wool accounted for £481,181.

"From now the cool weather will gradual- ty sei in in Japan. The winter months are practically our summer months in New South Wales. In the absence of suitable cold storage, there is no reason why sample ship- ments should not be sent, and for the present I would suggest the 14lb. boxes.

Such exports would not incur the consumption tax of 15 per cent.

FLOUR AND WHEAT.

"Under the new duty there is an increase of 61d per 132-277lb. on flour, thus bringing the total duty up to 125 id per ton of 2,000lb. Wheat, on the other hand, still stands at the old duty of ya per ton of 2,000th. In one on my previous despatches I pointed out the enormous increase in the importations of wheat. Having in view the above, there is sure to be an active Pour peoplehrat, drying the coming season, on the alert, and keep local agents well posted up with samples and quotations.

"The New South Wales wheat is very highly spoken of, and much preferred to the American and China wheat. The latter is only of a very poor grade, but in demand in consequence of its cheapness, and the fact that it mixes better with the Australian than][the American, the former being a much stronger grain.

"During ibe last ten days an Australian steamer was advertised to arrive on a certain date, but as a matter of fact had not left Hong- kong at the time it was expected to leave Japan on the return trip. Such delays only lead to endless complaints, and frequently cause local merchants to look to the markets with regular ande ertain steamers.
