WEST COAST TRADE. The service to West Coast ports was the. subject of a letter road last evening from the council of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce from the Dunedin branch of the Union Steam Ship Company. It arose over protests of the inadequacy of the service. The present arrangement, it, was said, was to provide two sailings each month, but owing to bad weather it was not always possible to provide sailings at regular intervals. He (the writer) had. however, been authorised where intervals between sailings became too lengthy, to accent urgent cargo for' transhipment, at Wellington at direct steamer rates. There were not so many steamers going from Dunedin to the Coast ns in former years, hot they would give shippers the, opportunity of taking advantage of any steamers that might be proceeding there.
