CHANGED WATERFRONT.
BRISK ACTIVITY AT WELLINGTON, ESSENTIAL CARGOES FIRST. By Telegraph.—Preu Association. Wellington, Last Night. The position on the waterfront is described as eminently aatisfactoty. Rarely have the wharves presented' a more animated appearance, and almost every available foot of berthing accommodation is utilised. Large and valuable cargoes are now being unloaded, and they should have a material effect upon the shortages of various commodities reported in several parts of the Dominion. The action of the authorities in giving preference to vessels containing coal, sugar, wheat and other essentials will _ enable the«e decreasing supplies to be considerably augmented, while their distribution should relieve distress in many districts. It is estimated that nearly two thousand are employed on the waterfront, and all are working splendidly, cargo being discharged more expeditiously than usual. Calls for overtime are promptly responded to, and probably more j&rgo is now being discharged per day than has been the case for a long time.
