SHORTAGE OF COAL
WELLINGTON’S COMPLAINT.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, last night. There has lately been a considerable shortage of the domestio ooal supply. Wellington dealers assert that the principal cause of this is that large shipments are being sent away for the warships on the China station. During the last few weeks fifteen thousand tons have been shipped in this way. It is stated, on the other hand, that the present scarcity is due to the recent bad weather having prevented Btoamers getting in and out of Westport expeditiously.
