SUPPLY OF SHIPPING.
PRODUCTS ACCUMULATING,
The shipping available for the commerce of this country has been rather better Ilian was generally expected during Iho past two months, and indications are that the 'supply of ships will continue to be for at least a month longer. There are six steamers now loading for Britain, and seven more are due to arrive before the end of February. The difficulty now is that there is* an accumulation of products which are not so urgently required as meat and wool and choose by the Imperial authorities. These include tallow, frozen'rabbits, butler, and shortly there will be applies. It is hoped that it will be possible to export some of the apples, of which, there will be a big surplus this year, to England. -There are 40,000 boxes of butter in store in the country now. Some of this will be getting away soon. All of it has been taken by the British Government, and in view of the difficulty of getting it out of the country the price of 157 s paid for it must now be considered to have been satisfactory.
