A New York exporting (Inn baa written to an Auckland merchant, giving some interesting information in rarurd to the freight difficulty. "Owing to the scarcity of'steamers and (;ven nailing vesscle, the writer says, "the warehouses and terminal* here are completely gohkcsUml, and it ia imperative to take delivery of all material as soon as it arrives, which causes double handling. The truckmen have .ill advanced their cartage rates, and many of them are charging for the additional time they liflvi! f> srtand i>l line at the steamers. The last steamer loading for Australia had such an enormous (jiinntity of freight presented for delivery Lh.it the trucks horse», and men hud to remain in line for three nighls and three days, realising thut if they left the line tlipy would lose tho opportunity of making the shiiiinent. When there is a., shipping onnortunity available, there is a tremendous rush of freight, «s it is. impossible lo say wheu there will bo rurlher opportunities of shipping. The railroads have taon m auch hopeless cougestion that the Government has iound it necessary lo tiike over the handling of same, nnd while we expect there will !)(! ;:n iiniivovoment in t!io future, 'it is probable that Govcrnnitiiuul and military goods, foodstufls and iiraissitics will he Bivon the preference over eeneral merchandise. At nreseut a,ll car-

load lota are wider embargo, amlt, is evun tcipofsiblo to bring flmttll ehipinuuts over the roads from most (if the and it is impossible to even estimate when the next shipment rf unexecuted iwiub can l)u arranged."
