The brokers in London are payEOs per ton register for vessels against 30s per ton a month ago, and there is talk of farther rise. Many vessels are now chartered at high rates to take coal to the West Coast for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and it is evident that the shipping of sailing vessels is not equal to the present demand. The building yards are, however, fully employed, and in time m alteration in the position must come about.—" Guide , " The European Mail is responsible for a statement to the effect that Messrs Tyser, who are practically the Colonial Union Steamship Company ply ing to New Zealand, have been entrusted with the management of the New Zealand Shipping Cotnpanv. It is said they will be responsible for the loading of the ships, while all matters connected with the passengers will remain as heretofore in Mr Strickland's charge.
