IMPORTATION OF COAL.
THE NEWCASTLE StJPPLY. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGBAH.) WELLINGTON, April 5. New Zealand has been obtaining very free supplies of Newcastle coal,* and, as a result, the coal position in New Zealand generally is much' easier. Heavy importations of coal hav© been made by the Railway Department, which, it is estimated, has now three or four monthi'N supply of coal on hand. Enquiries show that there, has been a tightening tip) of,, esport at Newcastle, vessels awaiting coal cargoes for New Zealnd being subjected to unfortunate delays. It is apparent that has decided to replenish its own depleted stocks before paying attention to the needj of other countries. It will be another three months before regular shipments will be renewed, and altogether the Newcastle position is very uncertain. .<• . .
