WOOL CARGOES SCARCE.
STEAMERS WAITING FOR CARGO. Py Telegraph.—Press Association.! WELLINGTON, this day. The fall in the price of wool is having an effect on the loading of home tra<te steamers. The New Zealand Company's steamer Kaiparn is to go out into the stream to wait for orders. It is stated that it" the price of wool had remained up there would have been a rush of wool for the steamers, but, as the result of the drop in price, growers are not anxious to get their wool on the Home market at once, and, consequently, a considerable quantity is being diverted to sailing ships, while steamers which have been provided with accommodation to carry wool will now have to lay up until cargo accumulates.
