THE CONTROLLING AGENT, ' '..; The loss of ■the steamer ■Wiin'mera'on the Australian and Neiy Zealand aervioo has resulted in the intercolonial freight''diilloulties being iUoreaecd, and the New Zealand Government, without any public announooment of the faot, has appointed au offioial in Sydney whp.ia deciding what class of cargo shall como to the Dominion. On his authority tho shipping companies concerned allocate space. Tho first intimation commercial oirclce in Ohristchuroh reoeived of this official action, was the notice, in most ..cases from private source.?, that enrtain cargo had been fllral out, as the Government shipping agent had decided that other classes of goods should be given preference.' Further inquiry led to this advice being confirmed by the Minister-for Munitions, says a correspondent. •: ■ . Inquiries go to show that.tho Govornment aotion is resented in many quartors. Merchants state that the congestion oaused by carpo held in-Anetralia is not serious onQURh to warrant ftn action which has disturbed the . ordinary channels, of. trade. Tho Government made no inciulry' hero previously as to the auiountof stoclta of various commodities. As.cn inetance, merchants' stoclte of rice gencrnlly are.stated, to lie extremely small, yet this ar-. tide has been shut put from the allocation of space. Export from Great Britnin. is restricted, but i]i .wh case articles vfhich cannot 1i« imported here, or. wlr nan only be obtained' by. license, are de- j finitely announced by proclamation. If | thn Government here would make a dofinite announcement of "preference" cargo '. I;from Australia, importers would know exactly lio(" tliey stand, 'nsteail of. linvinff, quite possibly, to depend on the individual judßmont of fin ofilcial. The auxiliary schooner Houto arrived in Wellington at 11 o'clock last night from j Lyttflton. . , . I The Jlonowai is now to leave WelUllE-. ton on Monday for northern ports. The Komata is to uail at 11 p.m. to-day ior Wceport, with passengors. Tho Calm will load here to-morrow for Wanganui. . .. - .. ' Tho Wairau has resumed running between Wellington and Blenheim, for winch port she will sail -to-night. ■ Tho Tainui and Wootton sail for Lyttelton to-day. ■•■-.■ ■ Considerable dis^atisfaction exists amonic merchants in Auckland at present at the fact that goods ex the Kiirow, from San Fruuoisjno, have.boon hold up in Wellington for' Borne wocke because thc"Mapourilsa, which whh used in the cargo service between Auckland and Wellington, has been'taken ofi the run and has not-been replaced: Tho Manounka was taken oR some time in August to relievo a boat on the West Coast, and, tho inurchni'te state, an assurance was 'given that sho. would be put back on the Auckland run os soon ns possible. So far, it is stated, this has not been done, and goods have now been lying in Wellington for threo weeks awaiting transhipment to Auckland. Some of theeo goods arc urgently required, and. considerable annoyance is folt that some ollort lias not been madn to eillicr replace the linat or to put her hncls on thn .Mick-land-Wellington run.-Auakland "Star."
