ENGLISH SUGAR FOR N.Z.
CORALSTONE DUE TOMORROW (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, August 27. The Coralstone is due at Wellington on Wednesday with 9500 tons of English refined sugar, supplies of which the Government arranged during the waterfront strike. This was announced to-day by the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr J. T. Watts). Two thousand tons is for Wellington, and the rest will go to the South Island, enabling the Chelsea refinery
to concentrate on deliveries to the North Island.
The price of the sugar will be the same as usual. Mr Watts said that this represented about five weeks’ normal consumption for the whole of New Zealand, and would help to build up stocks, which had been low since the strike.
