BANANA SHIPMENT
A SPECIAL TRAIN LEAVING AUCKLAND TONIGHT (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. A special goods train will leave Auckland at 6 o'clock tonight with a consignment of bananas, part of the cargo brought from the Islands by the Matua. Uncertainty of discharge at Wellington owing to the waterfront dispute prompted cancellation of her call there. Under the direction of the Internal Marketing Department, cases of bananas are being removed by lorry to the station. The number of cases to go south depends upon the speed of discharge at the wharf, but it is believed that the train will be carrying a full quota of fruit. It is expected that some will be transhipped to the South Island. i
