In connection with tho .damage to the large steamer Westmoreland it lias been loarned that the Blulf Harbour Board's ■pilot was in charge at the time of her striking the Channel Hock. The work of discharging the vessel went on all day on Friday, and since the time of arrival at Duuedin she has lifted about 15 inches. Tho cargo taken from her. is being clistributed amongst the various stores in Port Chalmers, but as yet no arrangement has been come to with regard to tho accommodation of the frozen iiii&U. The bilgo pumps still continue to pour out «. great uunjitity of water, but no further leakage has been noticed.

Tho Carpentaria on Friday steamed to three miles outside Lyttelton Heads in order to discharge some 2CCO tons of ashes which was taken on board at Homo as ballast. It is probable that it -will (alee about a week to carry out tho work, but this course has been adopted owinc to the Ecarnity: of suitable railway trucks and other facilities, otherwise the Harbour Board could- have taken the ballast for the reclamation -grounds. The Carpentaria will then put back to Lyttelton in order to load between 40,000 aiid 50,000 carcasses of mutton.

The Tapley Shipping Who's auxiliary schooner May Howard has > been sold at a. s.itirfaetory figure to Mr. Barnes, of Christchuroh.

The May Iloward was purchased about twelve mouths asto by Uie Tapley Lino in Auckland.* an<l traded between Diincdin and coastal ports up to a few months a;o. The venture, however, did not prove a success, and tho vessel returned to Auckland, -where she has lieeu laid up ever since.

■ The ijrofit to be wade by poultry farming in these days when such excellent prices are being paid for eggs was revealed in a statement made by Mr. Nixon, of Auckland, who acted as judge at the Onehmiga Poultry Club's annual show (says the "Star"). Mr.. Nijon cited the- case of a duck farmer of Avondale, whose sales of duck eggs wore averaging £o per day. From this sum £1 had to be deducted for food, the net profit being .£2. Ho found that where one-third of the feed given to ducks comprised "green" feod that very eatisfactory laying results were obtained. Duck eggs at present are' selling as high as 3d. each. For tho ten months ended January 31 tho war expenditure of Canada totalled nearly _ .£49,000,000. The. net debt of the Dominion at the end of January was slightly in excess of Nip that cold in the bud by treating it instantly with "NAZOL." Taken on sugar or inhaled. "NAZOL". never fails. —Advt. ~ For Children's Hacking Cough, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.—Advt.
