TURUA’S TRADE.
INADEQUATE FACILITIES.
Though Turua has a fji-weekly steamer service, and .an extra boat on Wednesdays, they have only one cargo day per week. The outward freight each cargo day, which is Wednesday, totals about 30 tons. There is also a large amount of produce sent away, including from 2£io «to 300 cr.ates of cheese and a number of boxes pf but,ter each week. This suiely warrants an extra cargo day each week. The indescribable litter pf miscellaneous cargo, from lengths of timber and sheets of iron to small boxes .of household goods, on the wharf after each freight day is certainly no credit to Turua. Yesterday morning,, after the visit of the two steamers; the night before, there were stacks of timber, piles of bricks, and crates of galvanised iron distributed over the wharf, and the shed was packed to i,ts utmost with, sundry-articles. The new wharf will not! be erected before it is z required, ,and even then the Turua businessmen will not be satisfied until there isi more than one cargo day per week.
