SHIPPING NOTES. The brigantine Aratapu was (owed into the stream on -Saturday morning: to adjust her compasses. A private cablegram ha« been received in Wellington from Seattle (Washington, U/S.A.), stating that the American, schooner C. S. Holmes has been delayed in her loading thore, and will not be ready to leavo for Wellington until to-day. She was originally fixed to clear from. Seattle at the beginning of this month, in which case she would h»T© arrived »bou,t Christmas time. Ou account of the delay, however, she will not reach Wellington until aiter tho ue* Year. ' Tlie Blackball Coal Company's steamer Ngakuta, which arrived at Lyttelton on Friday night from Greymouth, is expected to leave on her return to-day. . The Karamu was to have left Greymouth on Saturday for Lyttelton. En route she will make a call at Wellington. From London, via ports, the Shaw, Savill and Albion liner Athenic is expected to arrive at Auckland on Thursday next. An exceptionally long passage is being made by the American schooner Andy Mahoipy, which was 90 days out from San Francisco to Auckland yesterday, and it is quite time she showed up at the northern port. The barque Louisa Craig took 54 days from San Francisco to Lyttelton, a considerably longer voyage, so th« non-appearance of the. Andy ilahony i s giving rise to some little anxiety. Mr L. V. Sutton has joined a special service ship as radio operator in place of Mr J. A. Heavey. Messrs D. J". Young and C. McVicar have signed on a special service steamer as third and fourth engineers, vice Messrs Douglas and Calvert. Mr Whitefield, second officer of the Wailiora, has come ashore, and Mr Carlson has joined the vessel in his place. Mr H. K. Swain, acting purser of the Waihora, has left that vessel. Captain Perriam is now in command of the Kiritona in place of Captain Haxaldson, who has taken command of the Fanny. ' Confirmation has been received of the departure of 14 steamers to load wheat in Australian porta to the order of the British Government, and some of the vessels aro stated to have already' left the Mediterranean («aya the Melbourne "Argus"). It is understood that something like 90,000 tons should be lifted by this means, and no doubt further arrangements of the like nature will Ixj made shortly. The Imperial authorities should have nothing to gain by keeping the wheat in Australia if the means can be found for transporting it to Europe. Meanwhile. the Wheat Marketing Act has been reenacted. with some amendments, the chief of which is that the agents' commission has been reduced Jd per bushel to' 3Jd on the new croa v For the continued custody of old wheat an allowance of Jd per busliol at the seaboard and of jd per bushel at the coi - ntry stations would bo made, while all agents who carried responsibility of condition must make a .payment of 3 per cent, over the whole of their stacks toward® the cost of rebagging, etc. Tba life of the "pool" is extended to December 31st. 1317. by which date it is hoped that finality will have been reachcd.
