Rut in this notice there was mention of a rato of £lB per ton ior hour for certain places, 'inis quote of £lB per ton is cancelled. The rate is now fixed at £l(3 10s per ton, and in the case of the i)orta distant from tlio wheat ports of tho South Island tjio rate is to be £l6 10s with the addition of the costs of bringing the flour to those places.
