DTHTEDIN, October & . It is announced that in future the Saras will not carry passenger* on 'the coast, bat will be ran solely oe a cargo eteainer between Dunedin, East Coast ports, and' Auckland. He Union Company decided on this move owing to the fact that the present-day pas< venger .trade on the Bast Coast was not e paying- proposition. Thero will now bo no paaßenger boats n the £ast Coast, with the exception, of oonree, of the ferry steamers, ami of the Arahnra, which in Awkland-Gisboroe-Ns|>ier run. This is tho ftrsl time since 18G6 that there ha» been no vygaiar passenger eoorrioe between Auckland and Dunedin. That eervioe was inaugurated in that year by the old Now Zealand Steam- Navigation Company, the steamers at Srst ew*gei tjeinir. the Ladybird, Wellington, Queen Phoebe, and XManaiu. • _ The company waa later merged into <ho Union Cottrpaay, whioh commenced tie ferry service in 3896. An official of the Union Company stated yesterday that the company hae been compelled to abandon tho service on account of lack of support by the travelling public, who, since the opening' of tiro U&in Trunk Kne, have preferred to go overland from Wellington to A tick! and. Another factor is tho 'ncreaaed time taken to work cargo at the different'porta. The vessels are said to take nearly twice aa long to mako the trip as formerly; and the oompany has to maintain the paesengers several extra <3aya for practically the para® faro. It ie not. yet known whether the Mohoia will carry paseengcrp when she tranefeiß bsok from the Isla&de serrice.
