SHUTTING OUT CARGO. According to London, advices great difflcu iy is being experienced in obt dining tgpm for weight ill' the steamers for Now Zealand, this being particularly marked in the cuse of the cargo steamer V/aiwera, which, tluoiigh unforeseen circumstancps, had to take the direct Launceston (Tasmania) berth, as well as the ordinary itinerarj, *to Auckland, Wellington, and Bluff. Hundreds of -tons of stuff \me refused a week b'efovc she sailed. The White Star j and Shaw-Savill steamers for New Zealand, via Hobart, have Had more goods sent to them ihan could be dealt with. "By both the mail nnd caigo steumeis fiosn London short shipments were much in evidence. Vrom present indications shippers are 'in for ail exceedingly busy time during the latter half of the year, for wherever one looks room iB being booked up month's ahead. As regards west Coast ports, weight engagements ale being cut down by the ship-ottneis, owing, it is said, to a deal of the room having been requisitioned by the New Zealand authorities for 'twpen deck passengers — which, indeed, is one of the contributory factors in the London posi-tion-^and this, too, on top of the May bo*t having been withdrawn at Bristol, Fortunately all the companicb are building new tonnage, some of which will be put iti the trade towards the fall of the year. Customs revenue to the amount of £21,343 12s, and beer duty totalling £190 18s, were collected at Wellington during this week. For the corresponding week of last year" the figures were : Customs revenue, £20,361 17s 3d; beef duty, £2i9 3s. The Raitangata is expected to get away for Greymouth to-night. The Rosamond ia timed to leave New Plymoutn at S p.m. to-day for Wellington.
