THE NIAGARA’S CARGO
MEAT AND DAIRY PRODUCE SHIPMENTS FOR CANADA, HAWAII AND CHINA [ Per Press Association. I AUCKLAND, Nov. 22. Twenty-three thousands cases of butter are included in the cargo being taken by the Royal Al ail steamer Niagara, sailing from Auckland for Vancouver to-night. This is the biggest shipment of butter to be made to Vancouver within recent years. The greater portion of the Niagara’s butter is consigned to Honolulu, Victoria (British Columbia) and Vancouver, while several thousand cases are for transhipment to Shanghai. Some years ago the export of butter from Auckland to Vancouver was much heavier than it is to-day, the falling off in trade is chiefly due to the growth of dairy farming in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the present revival in some degree is> due to the dry season in Australia. In addition to the large butter shipment the Niagara is taking an unusually large quantity of frozen meat, chiefly beef and veal for Honolulu. It it is consigned to the military authorities.
