FARMERS’ WINDFALL
THROUGH STEAMER’S LOADING DELAY. A delay, of a day in the Waiwera’s loading at Gisborne resulted in a handsome windfall for East Coast farmers. Buyers for export last week offered prices conditional upon the meat being shipped by the Waiwera and the postponement of the vessel’s departure from Saturday until Monday enabled Friday’s killings to be shipped. When the new week’s buying schedule was announced on Monday the price of lambs for export had been reduced by id a pound. In the aggregate this represented a substantial sum to farmers whose lambs were killed on Friday and would have been lost had the vessel’s schedule been maintained.
