"Horald"), and unless conditions improve during the next few months not many ; mills are likely to resume operations in ! tho spring.

The Corinthio. carried a consider- ■ able quantity, of heiup from Auckland •■ last month, and a further consignment ; lias been loaded on the Pnparoa-. • These ! shipments, however, are-in fulfilment or ; old contracts, and it is stated that snip- ; pers are not looking for new business i : at tho ruling prices as long as the present i freight rates exist,
