IMPORTATION OF WHEAT.
Kairanga to Load Cargo at Melbourne. (Special to the " Star.”) AUCKLAND, June 30. After lying idle in the stream tor a long period the Union Company's cargo steamer Kaitoke was docked yesterday for cleaning and painting, and it was thought that she would be recommissioned to load wheat in Australia for Xew Zealand. It is now understood that she will not be required for the work, but she may be recommissioned in the coal trade. The Kairanga. which was recently recommissioned, left Auckland for Melbourne on Thursday to load a cargo of wheat, but no other vessel is reported to have left New Zealand to bring back wheat from Australia. The announcement that 330,000 bushels of wheat would be imported from Australia, has given rise to hopes that several steamers will be required for the work, and that employment would be given to a number of idle seamen.
