TIMBER FOR EXPORT
A STATEMENT CONTRADICTED. By Telegraph-Press Association. Grsymouth, August 14. The statement that millions of feet of limber have been carried to Greyniouth bv railway for shipment to Austiwa is incorrect.' Since the ."cut", the hnitaiwita is tho only timber vessel that Irs c ai'.ed f°>' Australia, and she carried lc«s 'than a million feet. Tho railways are mostly engaged in handling timber for Christchurch, Dunedin, and AVellingtnn. There is little market in tho Dominion for white pine, and the millers rely on tho Australian markets. The bulk of the timber waiting for shipment from here is white pine, but it is not possible to ship it, owing to the strike. The millers «isk the ■Minister to supply a statement showing the tim'ber carried on the local railways for Dominion use and export to Australia.
