AUCKLAND'S BUSY PORT.

ALL BERTHS OCCUPIED. TWO VESSELS IN STREAM. The port of Auckland was exceptionally busy yesterday. All the berths at the wharves were occupied, and two steamersthe Waihora and Waitemata — were at anchor in the stream. The two vessels mentioned are both loaded with Nauru Island phosphates, which they are unable to discharge on account of the railway strike. In addition to the vessels occupying the berths at the Queen's ■ and King's Wharves, the Kaikorai was discharging Australian wheat at the Prince's Wharf, and at' the Western Wharf the Radnor and Truro City were discharging case oil and general cargo from New York. . The congestion will soon be relieved, as the Flora sailed for Portland last night, and to-day the Arahura will leave for East Coast ports, and the Kaiwarra for Wellington. Tomorrow the Port Wellington and «ne Port Caroline sail for Wellington and the Niagara departs for Sydney. The berths vacated will be taken later 'n the; week by the Rama from Nine Island, the -Ngakuta, from Rarotonga, the Mahana, from the south, the Tremorvah, from Texas, the • Trelyon, from New York, and the Navua and Canadian Pioneer, from Wellington,
