This wheat, which is for the South Island, will be discharged at Timaru and Lyttelton.

The Lodestone, which is bringing 5500 tons of fowl wheat from Australia for discharge partly for Auckland and partly for Wellington, is expected in the former port next Tuesday. The Lodestone is also bringing 3000 tons oi blending flour for Auckland mills.
