SHIPPING DELAYED.
Great waste of coal. By Telegraph.—}'rcss Assn.—'Jopyrlcht. London, .Tan. 8. The Germanic, which haa been delayed at Plymouth with a cargo of 115,000 narcases of Australian frozen meat on board, has been ordered to resume her voyage. It is hoped she may be berthed on Tuesday. The vessel lias been burning fifty tons of coal daily for over a month to keep the refrigerating plant going.
Congestion at Southampton is also acute. The port did excellently during ihe war, but th<j facilities for dealing with overseas cargoes are proving utterly inadequate. Ships are constantly arriving with food and wool, only to find that they must leave the cargoes rotting in sheds or seek another port. The Suevic and Runic, from Australia, have thus left to find a less congested port-Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
