June trading helps reduce deficit
Shipping New?
Lytteltons trade was 24.000 tonnes up flor June, compared with the month last year. The Lyttelton Barbour Board general manager (Mr J A. McPhail) said yesterday that this increase reduced the deficit tor the nine months since Octobei 1 to 10,200 tonnes. Since the loss of the Rangatira, coastal trade had been well down but increases in overseas imports and exports had helped balance the losses, he said. Mr McPhail said there had been substantial increases in petrol imports — he was pleased io see — significant increases in a wide range of primary produce exports, even though there had been a fall in wool due to stockpiling. : “This will right itself.” he said. The board's chairman (Mr J Brand) said all the port's losses in coastal cargo had gone to rail rather than to ships. “Apart from that, we should have been considerably up in tonnages on last year,” he said ARRIVALS Mishref (6.4 a m. l , Wellington iP. and 0.1.
