SHIPPING NOTES.

Cable advices from London of Wednesday "s date record the arrival from New Zealand of the liners Nerehana and Waimate. The latter vessel left Wellington on May 3rd. The steamer Clan Colquhoun has been chartered to load hardwood at Banbury for Wellington and Timaru. Included among the latest charters is the four-masted American schooner Eric, - which will load lumber at Columbia River for New Zealand. Discharging tiles is a very slow and ' tedious job, owing to the fact that every j tile has to be carefully passed out of the ship's hold from hand to hand. Under the j circumstances the Combermere's Port- Chal- 1 mers cargo is being put out at a fair rale ' of speed, and it is expected that the big ' ship.will be ready to come np to Dunedin next Wednesday for further discharge (says the "Otago Daily Times"). She has about 500,000 tiles to put. out at Dunedin, after '• which she will proceed to Lyttelton to com- . pfcte her discbarge. It ib quite probable ! that the Comber-mere ■ will be towed to; LytteHon direct by the tug Dunedin if the : present negotiations regarding towage prove I mutually satisfactory. ; The schooner Annie Hill left GieymouUi ' on Sunday last with a cargo of timber for Lyttelton. i Mr Grant, late chief engineer of the Wai- i temata, having signed off that vessel's arti- j cies, proceeds to Sydney by the Maheno from Wellington to join the Atna. .!
