Owing to the congestion of tr.i - f,c on the railway lines in tho States dnc to the demands of the Government for war purposes; difficulty is experienced in eettinir goods delivered to sea ports, even whe o veTels are available, and now that everything will have to come by sailing vessels it necessarily means still further delay in getting suppliCb to New Zealand. Another cause of .delay is tha mnnufacturers in the UmM Stales And it diHcult to get timber delivered by tho railwars and are thus at a ios to provide cnßcs in which lo dispatch, poods A similar difficulty exists in ll'ose trades requiring tins for their manufactures to lie .dispatched in.
