Wellington, June 23.
There has lately been a considerable shortage in the domestic coal supply. Wellington dealers assert that the principal cause of this is that large shipments are being sent away for the warships on the China station. During the last few weeks fifteen thousand tons have been shipped in this way. It is stated on the other hand that the scarcity is due to the recent bad weather having prevented steamers getting in and out of Westport expeditiously.
