CARTAGE REPORT.
May 28,1864. Messrs E. De Carle and Co., carriers and general forwarding agents, report as under :— Only a week has elapsed since we liad to report a revolution in the sentiments of a large number of the mining population of Otago, causing them to leave its shores. It is gratifying now to state that a decided reaction has taken place, and our up-country friends will see many old faces, looking far more satisfied with the old diggings, now that the new have been tried and found wanting. Upon the whole, there is every reason to believe in a good time coming, and already a visible change for the better is evident in the rates of cartage, which are as under to day.
The above rates are for flour, ironmongery, and heavy groceries, in not less than tons. Timber and drapery are proportionately higher.
