LOST IN THE MANUKA.
The wreck of the Manuka did not cause J much inconvenience to importers, states the Christchurch "Press." Excepting for one line, canned fruits, most merchants were not much involved in the wreck. The steamer carried a fair parcel of tobacco for Lyttelton, but her chief cargo for the local houses was about 1250 cases of Australian canned fruits. This was badly needed for Christmas business. Most shippers on the other side sold their output and closed their order books some time ago. Most of the dried fruits have arrived, but there were about 400 cases of dates for Christchurch on the Manuka out of the steamer Caprera at Melbourne. A small quantity of Mildura currants and sultanas, with several parcels of macaroni and vermicelli, comprise the chief lines for Christchurch in addition to the lines named above.
