SHORTAGE OF MANURES.
— PROSPECTS OF RELIEF. The prospects of early shipments of I manure an-iving in the Dominion are j very remote according to an authority interviewed this morning. He said that I the shipments from the Old Country and the. Continent were, on a very small scale I compared with those of pre-war days. Superphosphates used to be imported from Australia, but through the Commonwealth requiring all its output the Government would not allow it to be exported from the country. A few conesignments of basic slag would be arriving from home, but the price this end would be high. The shipping difficulty was very serious, and the coal pceition was also being felt'in the shortage. Our (informant sugegsted that with the opening of re-,v works the position might be alleviated by the end of the year. In accordance \-'.t"i arrangements, a. regular | shipment of Ocean le'and phosphates , would arrive this evening, arid this would |be followed, as in the past, by regular ! shipments at intervals..
