SLACK SHIPPING TRADE,
Mr. Seayill, chairman of the Farmers' Auctioneering Co., Hamilton, in his address to shareholders, referred to the trying time for shipowners trading regularly in New Zealand. In many instances they had to be content with one-way cargoes, as restricted importations from the United. Kingdom and American points necessitated their* sending ships out in ballast to lift refrigerated and general cargo offering at New Zealand ports. Meat shipments showed a marked increase, but there was a diminishing tendency, at present. General cargo had come forward more regularly, and with the improvement in the tone of the wool martet a large quantity, of Jast season's -wool had been cleared for shipment and steamers now loading are taking fairly heavy consignments for the next series of sales in London, opening on 22nd November.
