THE SHIPPING SHORTAGE.
The warning issued by the Acting Prime Minister to the effect that the shortage of shipping is likely to be more acute than ever during the next few months suggests many graV e possibilities to producers and holders of stocks. There are large supplies of butter and cheese on hand which are taxing all the available storage accommodation, and the withdrawal of four of the five steamers trading between the Dominion and the West Coast ports of America will con siderably aggravate the position. The sole crumb of comfort in the situation is tor the local consumer, who may through the congestion of stocks be able to obtain supplies at lower rates than he has lately been paying.
