;;, .Shipping was quiet locally yesterday, no arrivals or departures being •reported. i 1 '. Yesterday afternoon the Irivercar- . gill went down to Castlecliff. where '.' she loads cheese for Wellington. ,* .Last night the Aupouri moved to the Imlay wharf, where the vessel ta&es on manure for Onehunga. Her departure for the Manakau port has tfgpn delayed and she may not Jeave until to-night. ( . • Messrs S. Holm and. Co, advise ''' JLSaat, owing to lack of„ shed accom-

modation for cargo, flic steamer '• .John was unable to commence ,dis^ ; charge yesterday. This means that Oik vessel will, have waited in this

port for. more than 36-hours before • her cargo is touched, and thus much y&uable time is being lost. It is

understood that the local agents in- , tefod moving further in the matter . and it is to be hoped that the Har- . bojfir Board and the Chamber of Commerce, by concerted action, can get at least a little satisfaction from jtfl4 Railway Department. Mean- • while' operations will be commenced j>n; the John this afternoon and the weasel will leave to-morrow for Wel-

lington and Dunedin, working south- . irn ports on her return trip to Wanganui. announcement was made on Thursday last that the well-known , uoastal trader Putiki, the property of Putiki, Ltd,, has been sold to Messrs Richardson and Co., of Napier.
