Phosphates from Nauru.
A shipment of 9850 tons of highgrade phosphate from Nauru, the first to reach New Zealand since early in the war, is carried by the Bank line steamer Moraybank, which was due at Auckland at 10 o’clock this morning. The Moraybank’s cargo represents part of 35,000 tons of phosphate shipped out of Nauru since the island was retaken from the Japanese nearly a year ago, and is the forerunner of shipments which will become more frequent as the repair of plant damaged by the Germans and Japanese progresses.— (P.A.)
