SUGARWORKS RESUME.
; COAL SUPPLIES RECEIVED. FURTHER STOCKS EXPECTED. PRACTICALLY TWO DAYS LOST. The sugarworks a.t Chelsea, which were closed on Friday and Saturday, owing to being short of coal, resumed work at midnight last night. The company has secured approximately 1000 tons of coal— tons from the Albionstar and 400 from the Waitemata— a portion of which was delivered at the works on Friday and on Saturday. The steppage at Chelsea was due to some* misunderstanding between the Board of Trade and the Central Coal Control Committee in Wellington, over certain arrangements made by the former with the Sinister for Railways for the loan of 600 tons of coal to the Sugar Company, pending the arrival of supplies from Australia, The works were idle practically two days, the output of refined sugar for that time being between 400 tons'and 500 tons. The barquentine E. R. Sterling is due shortly from Newcastle, with a little over 3000 tons of coal, and the Omana is expected to reach port on Tuesday morning, with a similar quantity of Newcastle coal. It is expected that the .Sugar Company will be allotted a 'share of this coal.
