CHRISTCHURCH, November 24
In search of scrap metal, the Japanese tramp steamer Shinnoh Maru is due to arrive at Lyttelton on December 17, .to begin loading the mixed gleanings or the engineering and blacksmiths’ shops and the railway yards. All the metal that is being shipped is suitable for re-smelting and ,i-e-rolltng. Old train rails will probably be used for the construction of light railways in Manchuria, , as the Japanese have long made a practice of rolling heavy rails into light ones. The shipment will be of good quality metal, and the agent for the buyers ,is exercising care in the selection of the right metal. After loading at Lyttelton, the Shinnoh Maru will proceed to Auckland to complete her cargo. It is expected that she will carry something -like 40CX) tons.of scrap, nearly half of which will come from Auckland. A second steamer will call at ‘Wellington for another 4000 tons of metal. The Japanese demand comes at an opportune time, for it will mean that scrap which is taking up valuable space in yards will be turned into money, and work will be provided for carriers -and , watersiders.
