PETROL SUPPLIES

A GOOD OFFER.

[from our correspondent.^ • WELLINGTON, ,Aug. 4. The attention of the Government was called by Mr Wilford to-day to ;>is offer ruade by a private firm to supply 30,1)00 eases of benzine of good quality in America at 5 dollars 57 cents pei- ca&e, to be .shipped in two consignments. This firm could not handle benzine in New Zealand, and failed to get any other firm to do ■m. It would be a pity, said Mr Wil- * lord, .to allow this chance to be lost. Therefore the Government should take it up. Mr Massey replied that the firm <-uncerned agreed to put the- offer before the Board of Trade.
