THE COAL INDUSTRY
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, .September 3. The importation of Newcastle coal into New Zealand threatens to have, according to local mine owners, a somewhat serious effect upon mines in the Auckland Province. Mr Holeate director of the Northern Coal Company, stated that there was a likelihood of a reduction of hands in the local pits unless matters improved. The market was being flooded with Newcastle coal, the importation of which had last year exceeded previous years' by over, a million tons in the first five months of the year alone. Wharfage was paid in Auckland on 32,000 tons of coastal coal, and in that were not included the supplies taken by steamers, or put into hulks here.
