It is understood that the offer has been referred to the Trades and Labor Council at Dunedin. In reference to tbe recent importation of American flour to Auckland, it is stated by importers that another shipment will arrive by tho Sonoma, which is due about the 22nd of this month, but this is likely to be the last shipment, owing to the American market having advanced so much during the last two months. Later shipments are in execution oi orders booked before tho advance in the American and London markets.
