Busy Wharves.

The South Brisbane reach had one of its busiest days yesterday, when every inch of wharfage accommodation was occupied by shipping. At the Short-street wharf the Cornwall is engaged in discharging about 1000 tons of cargo from the United Kingdom. The Dundula, which arrived from Sydney on Monday, is at the Adelaide wharf, where the Canadian Constructor is loading about 3000 bales of wool for New York, Boston, and Halifax.

At the Musgrave Wharf the Himalaya Maru is loading 1000 tons of cargo for Japan, the Limerick is loading 5000 bales of wool, and a quantity of butter and general merchandise for Continental and United Kingdom ports, and the Opawa is discharging 2000 tons of cargo from the United Kingdom. The motor ship Eknaren, which arrived at the Brisbane Milling Company’s wharf from Gothenburg yesterday, will discharge 750 tons of cargo before proceeding south.
