Later in the day there appeared to lie a shortage of coal trucks, and some doubts we;e expressed as to whether the vessel could get away for Greymouth last night. At that pert she loads timber for Melbourne. THE KARU. Up to S pu». last evening thero was no- appearance of the small steamer Kara, duo from Wellington yesterday, and it is thought she may be sheltering from the northerly breeze 3 prevailing, and may have arrived during last night. THE KIA OHA. This' Homo liner, probably the largest, to visit this' port, is due to-morrow, having left Lyttelton for New Plymouth direct yesterday. Whilst here the Kla Ora will lift a good deal of frozen meat and other produce. THE BAKANOA. A wireless received yesterday sthted that the Rakanoa had left Onehunga for New Plymouth, and should arrive early this morning. Her cargo is principally fertilisers carried on the Navua, owing to the latter vessel being unable to berth here on account of congestion of shipping. THE BARAWA. The Northern Steamship Company's Rnrawa left Onehunga yesterday afternoon, and is due at the usual hour this morning, leaving again for Onehunga after the arrival of the mall train from Wellington to-night. THE WHAKATANE The Whakatane left Lyttelton on Thursday last for Dunedin to put out the reman'der of her cargo from New York. The vessel will then proceed to load for London at New Plymouth, Picton, Nelson and Wellington.

REDUCTIONS IN FREIGHTS. In explanation of recent reductions in freight rates on cargo from India for Australia, it has been reported that tho concessions made were attributable to a gradual release of tonnage for purely civil commercial purposes, and tho lessened strain of the war. At the same time there did hot appear in England or In India ,nny suggestion of imminent finality to the downwards' movement in freight chaTges, although It was reported from Calcutta that in the Eastern and Australian trades the schedule as amended was to hold good for six months. That, It was hoped, would induce shippers to enter Into engagements to fill exports from India without any deterrent on account of prospective further fluctuations in freights. That hope (says the Melbourne Age) was rather dashed by a later intimation from the President of Ihe British Board of Trade that a considerable Blump In shipping rates was a not unlikely event, that expectation being based upon a belief that in the summer months of this year there would be at least as much world tonnage afloat as there was before the war. A not unnatural sequel to this official forecast Is stated to be a disposition on the part of shippers to await further concessions in freight rates for goods for Australia.
