NO CAUSE FOR UNEASINESS;
; [bt telegraph.—own v CORRESPONDENT.} I WELLINGTON. Mona«.y. t! ■: : There ' appears to be. a. little' anxiety as to the quantity of tonnage that will be available to lift dairy produce for the United Kingdom in October next owing to the delay in shipping as a result of : the dockers' strike in London and other British ports. ' , . 1- ■ : So far as can be ascertained locally there' would seem to be no cause for uneasiness'. Advices have been received of vessels for New Zealand being " turned round "with little or no unusual delay and there is at present in the Dominion a sufficient qiian■'; tity of tonnage for immediate needs. The strike seems to be weakening, judging from information received here of the loading of ships for New Zealand and Aus-' tralia. " --■ :'■•'■■- ", •'•'.•';' .' ■ • ,In any case, unless something quite unforeseen happens, there should be ample tonnage available in October for the loading of dairy produce for London and for the early shipments of lambs and other refrigerated cargo in November.
