SHOPPING IN WANGANUI.
FOLLOWERS OF RATANA.
EMBARGO NOW LIFTED.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
WANGANUI, this day. Some months ago Ratana appeared before a magistrate at the Wanganui Police Court and subsequently an instruction was issued to those in the pa and visitors to a big gathering that no goods were to be purchased in Wanganui, much to the disgust of Wanganui tradesmen, and particularly large firms who in years past had done a rattling trade through the mushroom growth of the Ratana movement. The embargo has now been lifted, and Ratana's followers are at liberty to shop where they choose. "Apostles" and others of lower rank are only too glad to avail themselves of the opportunity to visit Wanganui and renew former acquaintances. The ranks at Ratana pa are, however, becoming depleted, so that spending power from this out will not be nearly so great
