The Zior and the Emma Sims were signalled vestarday ovaning. Tho VVhangape leaves to-day for Timaru, whence she goes to tho Bluff. From the Bluff she goes to Sydney and Newcastle, whoro she loads for Lyttelton. Tho ship Beacon Rock Has been chartered to take wheat and a general cargo from New Zealand to the United Kingdom or the Continent. : The barque Glenburn is expected from Wellington. She loads here grain, etc., for the United Kingdom. Mr Watts, purser of the Waikare, rejoins j that vessel on her arrival in Wellington this j week. Additions to shipping in the form of au_i!iai-y-powored vessels have not been so marked'this year as in the two previous years, but tho craft fitted with this power, have, tho Engineer-surveyor states, with one or two exceptions, done fairly good work. The tendency now is to put in oil engines of more power. In his report Mr Duncan also states that during the financial year ending 31st M.rch, 1900, a larger amount of work has bean accomplished than in previous years. Numbers of steamers have undergone a : very complete overhaul, including removal of lining .throughout the ship for a thorough examination of the .plates, angles, and stringers, and it is noteworthy that no accident has occurred -traceable to neglect at survey. • A Melbourne firm has arranged a' record charter for a, steamer well-known in tho Australian trade. The vessel, a steamer of about 4000 tons gross, has boe'n taken up to load produce for China, for tho sum of -12,000, the voyage to occupy not more than j three months. As the current rate for China is about 12s 6d, the price paid is significant of what may be expected in the future. By a recent mail Captain Post, of tho Government steamer Tutanekai, learned that the steamer Cnl"forniap» commanded by his uncle, Can tain __orrison, was then fourteen dnvs overdue from Honolulu to Manila. The California was one of tho six new steamers built expressiy for this trade. She is a magnificent type of the up-to-date passenger and cargo" steamer. Her gross tonnage is 8030 ton 3. "When she loft Honohilu sho bad on board a full cargo of .chairs and .provisions for the recently-annexed American port. Captain Post, served Tun apprenticeship at sea under Captain Morrison. It is thought her overduo voyapo mny bo 'attributable to a breakdown of tho machinery.
