Auckland Market Supplies.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Rarotonga, April 24.
THE Union Company’s steamer “Wai kawa” called at Rarotonga on April 20 and lifted about 4,000 crates of oranges for the Auckland market. The “Hauraki” is expected about the middle of May and will probably call at other islands of the Group besides Rarotonga.
The “Waihemo” is expected in June, and will introduce the arrangement that was in force last season, whereby the cargo vessels called at the Group on their way back to Auckland from the
American coast. This arrangement pro vides a one-way traffic from these is lands to Auckland, which, in many re spects, is not so convenient to the outer islands as the former service of a fruit boat coming down from Auckland mid way between mailboat calls.
