SHIPS IN BALLAST. Now that the export season in coining into full swing, large overseas vessels aro again beginning to leave England in ballast for New Zealand to load Homewards, says the "Dominion." The Federal steamer Huntingdon, which arrived at Wellington on November 29th, was the first of these, and was making her fourth consecutive trip to New Zealand in ballast, while a further six, the Northumberland, Port Sydney, Waimana, Tairoa, Cumberland, and Maimoa, aro at present en route to New Zealand, Altogether over fifty vessels are duo in New Zealand between now and next April to load Homewards, while many more will discharge English cargo in Australia, and then come to New Zealand »o load. For many years past a number of vessels have arrived in New Zealand in ballast during the flush of the export season. For the last two seasons they have greatly increased in number owing to the huge falling-off in imports) and last year between fifty and sixty ships arrived in ballast, about treble the number of those arriving (the previous year, when the figures also were considerably in excess of those of earlier years.
