“Arrived the Ellibank Castle, brigantine, Captain Evant, from Omaru, .with oats, flour, and potatoes, consigned to Common Shelton and Co,” is the shipping notice in another column, and the tight-looking little cruft now lies alongside the wharf belonging to the above firm. Now’ what we want to know is this, why should this firm be permitted an advantage over all other trading firms in the place. Why should they be enabled to receive a cargo free of all wharf dues and thus be placed on a superior selling footing to any other business firm in the town. The thing is manifestly unjust to all trading people, and we can only hope that the present elections will have the effect of hastening the time when this unfair monopoly will be put an end to.
