The Sydney Trade

The St Kilda has now been handed ewer to her new owners Messrs Walker and: Hatrick, of Wanganui, who will run her in the inter-colonial trade. On a draft of 10ft 6in she will carry 230 tons measurement and weight cargo, and on her first trip from Wanganui will take a full cargo of flour, sharps, bran, chaff, pollard and potatoes. We learn from the Herald that she has had to shut out a lot of cargo, and has freights promised for two or three trips. We congratulate Messrs Walker and Hatrick on their enterprise, and have every confidence that their venture will be a grand success. The day when the St. Kilda sails over the Wanganui bar with a fuJl cargo of produce, should be marked with a red letter in every township from Hawera to Feilding. .
