TRADE WITH SOUTH AFRICA.
♦ (PKESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAU.) ■WELLINGTON, January 12. With reference to the complaints made by the "Otago Daily Times" that tlhe Devon did not call at Dunedin, the manager of the Soutih African Steamship Company states that the wholo district of Otago could only muster 36 tons of cargo. The boat loaded at five ports, one more than was required, and would have cabled at Otago if there had been decent support for it. The Sussex had been to Napier, pnd wag now waiting at Lyttelfcon, where less than fifty tons were offering. Six hundrcid boxes of butter so far represented tlio bookings for Duredin. The alleged request for room for roeab was really a request that the space should .be put under offer for seven days for 5000 caroases of mutton, tie whole freight of which would scarcely be sufficient to pay the cost of visiting one of the dearest polls of New Zealand. Any safe port could compel the call of one of the steamers by guaranteeing 300 tons of cargo.
