The Union Company and Black Diamond Line steamer Koranui leaves Dunedin for West Coast ports (calling at Oamaru, Timaru, Lyttelton, Wellington, and Nelson), on Friday, 30th inst. The Hokitika Star has at times an in- . genious way of putting things. It says : — " Shipping on the Coast appears to be at a standstill. -The Waipara is bar-bound at Greymouth and is not expected to get away till Thursday. The Grey bar appears tQ.be, in as. bad a state as our own." As the Koranui, Timaru, Pelham, and Ohau have all gone since the Waipara has been detained here, we should be inclined to Attribute her detention to something else the state of the Grey bar— for instance, to something a little nearer home. Our contemporary will doubtless be glad to learn that the Grey bar is in splendid condition, a fact that may be verified by reference to the arrivals and departures since last Saturday, when the Waipara arrived. The s s. Pelham was taken out at an early hour yesterday morning with a cargo of coal for Wellington. Commander Edwin wired at 5 p.m. yesterday that there were indications the glass would fall, with strong winds from any direction between north-east and north and west. -The s.s. St. Kildawas brought in yesterday evening from Wellington. •The B.S. Ohau left yesterday evening for 1^ unedin with 500 tons of coal— tolerably good evidence as to the state of the bar. j
