Wool-laden Steamers DEPART FROM DUNEDIN Dominion Special Service. Dunedin, January 14. Considerable interest has been aroused by a “wool race” from Port Chalmers to England by the Shaw, Savill steamer Tairoa and the Federal steamer which completed loading operations to-day and sailed this evening for London', via Panama Canal. Both vessels are carrying large consignments of wool for the London market as well.- as other products. The Tairoa will replenish her bunkers at Kingston, Jamaica, and the Cumberland will take in oil-fuel at Curacao.
