TRAMP STEAMERS. Tho ocoan tramp steamer is faring badly al tho present time (says the New York "Maritime Register" of April 29). Tho prevailing low freights have made their employment unprofitable and tho uso of these cargo-carriers is being continually narrowed. The regular lines new control the larger part of the eceancarrviug trade, and Iho increasing absorption of this trade by these lines has progressed so far that in ceftain of tho seaports tho ocean shipments are entirely controlled bv thnn to the exclusion of the. independent cargo-carrier The tramp steamer as a convenience for supplementing the need at times of additional tonuago by the regular lines and for special purposes is' useful, but its uso gonerallv is becoming more and more limited. This class of Vessel is in fact a purely speculative pro position. The continued output of them lceens ivfloat 4 a large amount of unnecessary topnaro which tends to reduce freight rotes-to tho <iV advantage of investment in shipping Tl-, tramp steamer is too often heavily burdened by mortgages to the builders extending very long periods. The competition n>no]>-> ' shipbuilders to secure contracts is largely' r£ sponsible for this. But this method of fhnn cms thcs ? ™? cls 1? attended with much risk It is a handicap to the successful operation of the vessel, making tho question of p'ofitaWn earnings, if any, a matter of doubt, p&rticuar y as tho ocean-carrying trade is being con- 1 tralisod into regular lines, a process which ii < continually- narrowing tho field in which the tramp steamer may operate to the extent of its oummation very largely from tho trade in •the-future.

THE CORNWALL AT AUCKLAND. • A Press Association message reports that, tho steamer Cornwall arrived from England yes- ' terday with 133 immigrants—34 for Auckland, io tor' Welington, 21 for Lyttelton, and 20 for Dunedin. She is expected to leave Auckland on AJondny in continuation of her voyage to Wellington, and is accordingly duo hero on "Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. STAR OF JAPAN DISASTER. .Sydney oxchange Goys that the loss of too star of Japan, while bound with a valuable cargo from London to' Sydney, came as a heavy blow to 'tho London market, for practically the whole value of tho hull and cargo was covered there. The exact valuo of tho carjo cannot yet bo ascertained, but it is hardly likely to fall short of and, with interest on hall, machinery, and disbursements, the total loss is likelv to be over rather than under a quarter of a million of money. The steamer was tho best boat of the Star Line, built within the last two years, and probably got out of her course through tho current which sets in to the coast. As she struck at i a.m., there was no opportunity of seeing the rocks which lie off Gaiha Point and which in tho ordinary course would be passed at a distance of not less than twentv miles. ' '™ s . south, on the same coast, that the Port Douglas came to grief on a voyage from London to Sydney-in 1596. Tho Star of Japan appears to have struck comparaavely near to the rocks on which tho i'rench cruiser Jean Bart was wrecked in February last year. This is the first steamer loss which the owners have had since they entered the list of steamship owners with the Star of Victoria in ISB7. "In many ways the present loss is likely to linvo a salutary effect on underwriters, tho result of which may bo a stiffening of preSr" 1 ! I ?'.'.' J™ 3 , 1 * 6 tte "Shipping World.
