The Port Hunter brought to New Zealand a large shipment from Sweden of white pine for butter boxes. Many people at Auckland watching a portion of the sltooks (parcels of the tops, bottoms and ends for (ho boxes) being removed from Queen's Wharf shed and stacked on n punt for transportation to Te Arolia, must have thought that the business was another example of “carrying coals to Newcastle.” New Zealand grows white pine, and it Is satisfactory to know that the foreign timber article has met a serious rival in a factory now operating in Auckland. Tenders are invited for Public Works Department supplies anil for renovations to Government House, YVellington.
