AUSTRALIA'S PREDICAMENT. Advice received from Australia by the last mail states that the Board of Trade has recommended to the Acting-Prime Minister that a cable message be despatched to the Prime Minister in London urging him to take action to relieve tho difficulty in maintaining Australia's tiade wilii British South Africa. In Melbourne there are 26,000 tons of cargo awaiting shipment to Africa, and there are no ships to take it. The Board of Trade consider.the position so serious, according to Mr Jensen, that no stone should be left unturned in the endeavour to relievo the , position. From Admiral Clarkson's report, it appears impracticable for the Commonwealth to put on a boat for South Africa.
