Harrison's circular says: Since the sailing
OF the steamship Ventura, December 10; there
have been the following arrivals OF coal from
Australia viz. ladas. 200 tons: kenslnstoh
2721 tons: Thistle. 364O tons; Ztnita. $40 tons
under engagement TO carry coal from the colo
nes the way and to load. with carrying
capacity OF about 5000 tons; OF these tnere
are nine cargoes already anOat and a portion
of these TO load will not leave for several
months yet. The quantity OF Australian coal
now here is very light the major portion or
same being Richmond coal which is being re
served for domestic uses only. The deliveries
of colonial Goals at this port for the present
year will be over so 600 tons In excess OF 1902

a portion OF the coal trade here they will be
forced to reduce their T. o. b. price at New
castle about one shilling per ton. This will
be a necessity to meet the competition that
will exist between the British Columbia and
Australian Goals IN 1904.
