[Advertisement.] A FEW months ago at a public meeting Mr Martin Kennedy called attention to the rapid increase that had taken place in the export of coal from this port during the past twelve months. No one was in a better position to speak with authority on such a point than Mr Kennedy. Since that statement was made we have had the satisfaction of noting that the products of the port — coal, coke, and firebricks — have been steadily exported in greater quantities as fresh markets have been found; and the more consumers become acquainted with the full value of our products the more these come into demand. The latest acquired market is the island of New Caledonia. Messrs Kennedy Bros have just concluded a contract to supply the Noumea Nickel Company with 250 tons of coke and 100 tons of coal monthly. A few months ago the Noumea people probably had never heard of New Zealand coal. All their coal and coke came from Newcastle, N.S.W. But it happened that a sample of the Brunner coal and coke was brought under the notice of the directors of the Nickel-Company. As the sample was of sufficient extent to enable a practical test to be made, the directors were not long in entering into arrangements with Messrs Kennedy Bros, for twelve months' supply, according to the terms already mentioned. Hithorto the Brunner mine coal ovens have been turning out only about 100 tons of coke per month, though oddly enough the necessary material to manufacture 300 tons monthly has been thrown into the river. This compulsory waste of valuable material, it is needless to say, will henceforth cease. Instead of , only six coke ovens at present, the number may be doubled or trebled. Already new ovens are in course of erection, a cargo of bricks per Eliza Firth having a few days ago been sent up to the Brunner for that purpose. The first cargo of coke and coal for Noumea is to be despatched from hero some time next month. In the meantime Mr Kennedy has purchased from Messrs Glenn Bros, the wellknown iron barque Pelham, 340 tons register, hitherto mostly engaged in trading between Melbourne and East ports. She will be loaded with 250 tons coke and 100 tons coal whioh, according to ordinary measurement is equivalent to 600 tons of space. The Becond vessel will be provided by Messrs Stone Bros, Auckland, and may be expected to arrive here in about five or six weeks. As there are several mining companies in New Caledonia which consume large quantities of coke and coal, it is confidently anticipated that, as the merits of the Brunner products become more generally known, so will the demand for them increase ; So that instead of supplying 250 tons of coke and 100 tons of coal monthly, the quantities will very likely be doubled. Already the demand for tho Brunner fire bricks exceeds the supply, so that it is rather a hard matter to moot the orders which come pouring in. This has necessitated a complete change of plant. The old appliances, good of their kind and amply sufficient for the time when orected, will be quietly put on one side as so much lumber, and entire new plant, quadruple the powerof tho old, will be laid down in its place. The energy and foresight of Mr Kennedy in pushing the products of the mine into foreign markets deserve to be rewarded, as they doubtless will in due course. It is only in dim perspective that we can foresee the possibilities of future trade between this colony and farther east, but there is good reason to believe that such a trade is gradually in process of development, and that it will eventually be of the vastest importance to this colony. We shall await with a good deal of interest the result of the first shipment of Grey coal sent not long ago from Wellington to Hong Kong, as we fully expect that to be the precursor of many future cargoes, and eventually a permanent trade. — Grey River Argus, 28th April 1883 "OIDELITY COMPANY S £2000 J- ON THE MELBOURNE GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE, ETC.
