SHORTAGE OF KEROSENE.
A FAMINE IN AUCKLAND. By Telegraph.—Pres3 Association. Auckland, Last Night. The shortage of kerosene supplies in Auckland at present is so acute as to practically constitute a famine. Some shopkeepers are absolutely without 6tocks, and others are rationing it by the pint. The position is being keenly felt in the country districts, where farmers largely depend on kerosene for lighting. There is a heavy demand for candles as one result, and supplies of candles also are very limited. Importers of kerosene anticipate the shortage will continue throughout the winter months.
