Millar: said while in Dunedin he had an', interview with the manager of the' Union ' Company, and discussed the ferry servioe. The company's representative stated that, owing to the very dull state of the shipping trade, it had been necessary to make an alteration, but. it was anticipated that; the Pateena would not be long'on the servioe. It was also stated that the. company were running the • Maori just now at a very heavy loss, and that if they were simply.studying the interests of thecompany she would oo laid up. . The trouble was not confined merely to the ferry service, as trade was remarkably dull on the. East and West Coasts of the North Island. The North Island Main Trunk line' had taken away all their passenger. tjado. on the west, and all the' passenger boats between Manukan and New Plymouth had been withdrawn. The company had undertaken to send a full return of their ferry business to him, which they iclarraed would justify the change recently made. . ■''.■■■'■''.• ■
