STORES TO BE CLEARED.
STATEMENT BY SIB JOSEPH WARD. Sir Joseph Ward, in the course of his reply to a deputation at Christchurch last week, stated that within the next month or two the whole of the produce at present in the (Dominion's cool stores would be cleared away. The statement elicited hearty applause. Mr. John CHalloran said that he: would like to have the statement repeated, as it appeared to give much satisfaction. Sir Joseph said that he was not in a position to moke public the number of ships that were available, but he coukt say that before the next three months were over everything held in the freezing works would be cleared away by ships to the Old Country. A number of' the 9teaniers coming to do this were already filled with ordinary cargo in Australia, but the freezing chambers were being kept for New Zealand produce. "We are going to have relief to this extent," Sir Joseph added, "Quit we will commence the new season right throughout the Dominion by the clearance of these accumulations which it has been beyond the power of the Government or of the shipowners to overcome."
