UNLOADED AT AUCKLAND.
BANANAS FOR WELLINGTON. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, March 21. A special goods train leaves Auckland at 6 o’clock to-night with a consignment of bananas, part of the cargo brought from the islands by the Matua. The uncertainty of discharge at Wellington owing to the waterfront dispute prompted the cancellation of her call there. Under the direction of the Internal Marketing Department cases of bananas are being removed by lorry to the station. The number of cases to go south depends upon the speed of discharge at the wharf, but it is believed that the train will he carrying a full quota of fruit. It is expected that some will be transhipped to the South Island.
