Water Borne Wool
In spite of the special reductions #aid to have been made by the Welliugtoa and Maaawatu Railway Company in. order to tap the wool trade of this port, we find on enquiry that wool can b» sent cheaper to Wellington via Wanganui from any station this side of Halcombe, then by the company's line from Longburn. The saving amounts to at least 15 per cent in favor of this port, to say nothing of the strong inducement existing to send wool by steamer, owing to the fact that wool so sent is immediately, on arrival at Wellington, transhipped direct to the Home vessels, and thus ensured quick despatch. Wool arriving in Wellington overland is often delayed for weeks through being thus shut out by water-borne wool, which is always taken as it arrives. Those who have wool to ship will do well to bear these facts in mind, and n«t be induced by the pretended low rates offered them to risk their wool being shut out in Wellington and left in the sheds until the best sales are past and the market glutted. — Wauganui Herald.
