AN INTEREgriNG RETURN. 'An intcrostinp; return of the wool shipments and shippers has been compiled locally.

Italcain, which Bailed on November 22,1908. and the last lot dealt with is that of tho s.s. Otaki, which was digpatched for London from Auckland last Saturday. Altogether a toUl of 293,631 bdes has been exported. Of this law quantity the New Zealand Shipping Company has lifted the-lion's share, a matter of 133,048 bales having been placed under the hutches of vessels trading under tho flag of this line. The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's steamers have carried 100,997 bales. The Tyser Company comes third on the list of carrion of wool, with a total of 35,663 bales to its credit. Tho newly-inaugurated lino of steamships ran under the auspices of Hr. O. H. Scales has also been well patronised, the trio of steamers so far di6psitehcd from these- shores havine taken 23,286 bales. The Fedcral-Tlonlder-Shire Line, which only trades to the West Coast of England portß, has transported 37 bales. . .

Tho vessel has 1050 tons"of general merchandise for this port, and is,duo here in the flret week of next month. ' .- . A practical engineer is .reported to have informed a Ohristchurch' "Press" representative that tho work of repairing tho TJliinaroa. would occupy about eight or ten weeks, and'" that tho cost of the job would bo from £6000 to £10,000, which would include over £2CCO for 'dock".dues, a windfall for Lyttelton.dock., It is stated' also that the plates to be renewed in the vessel's bottom will probably have to'be specially imported owing to their great size.
