STEAM OWNERS AND OFFICERS.
. s MUCH DEPENDS ON THE U.S.S. CO. Tilings are exactly as they were in the shipping dispute. There may bo developments in tho course of a few days, • but the probabilities are that both si'dra will wait for tho issue of tho negotiations between the Merchant Service Guild and the Union Company. Meantime tho position is that the guild are dreading a. refusal from the Union Company to recoguiso overtime, and the owners arc equally fearful lest tlio bis company may feel disposed to accede to the men's demands. If this latter happens it is practically certain that some of tho smaller boats will be taken off their running, for the owners admit that they are not showing a profit of any sort—certainly not (sufficient to justify the payment of overtime. The only vessel which niuved yesterday was tho Opawa, which was takon over to Blenheim by her owners to tio up in the river there. Our Wanganui correspondent states that tho stoppage of supplies through the coa;ta3 officers' strike is seriously hampering business here, and a stoppage of coal and wheat is in close sight.
