Thin week a very large oargo-carrlor, with a. capacity of 40.000 Backs, will leave for the north, and will be followed by two other vessels, one of which will he the Jlonowai. With rerrnrd to a suggestion that has been made that, steamers left Lyttelton with cargo.Bpacc unused, Mr. Sleigh said that BpaCR was not wasted, but was reserved for Wellington or other porte. ' Owing to the fact that there wan no late train; loading at Lyttelton had at times been Interfered with, but mutters had been remedied. The Monowni, on its trip last week, was able to woTk until 9.30 p.m., which meant an additional three smd a half hours' loading. PACIFIC COAST RATES.
