CONGESTED PORTS.
THE CERAMIC MOVES'IfN.
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. Received January 10, -0,-0 i.m. LONDoN, Jan.B, The Ceramic has been ordered to resume her voyage. It k, hoped she may Ire berthed in London on Tuesday. The vessel has been burning fifty tons of coal daily for over a month to keep her refrigerating plant going. The congestion at Southampton is acute. The port did excellently during the war, but the facilities for dealing with overseas cargoes are proving utterly inadequate. Ships are constantly arriving with food and wool, only to find they must leave their cargoes rotting in the sheds or seek anothetl>ort. The Suevic and Runic from Australia were thus left to find less congested ports.
