The freight charge from Newcastle to Wellington has been increased froin 16s. 6d. per ton to 20s. per ton, as a result of the extra expense imposed upon the shipping companies by the quarantine regulations of the Commonwealth Government. The risj in freights, dates from March 1. No information is available in Now Zealand as to the probable duration of the present Australian quarantine regulations.
