The congestion of shipping space on ,veseMs.engaged in the direct service, to Can-, odn will, says an Auckland' exchange, be relieved to some- extent by-an arrange-' ment recently--made by Mri ~W. A. Beddoe, Canadian Trade Commissioner, with the Canadian War Trade Board. Goodß for which an importation license has been secured may now be forwarded on through. billb ot lading, vii 6cm Francisco. The list of commodities -which may not bo imported into Canada, except under license issued by the War Trade Board, ' has been further. extended. Previously it was nccesßary to,obtain import licenseß for meat, dairy produce,- fruit, and eggs. The amended list includes cocoa, cocoanut oil, copra, flax, .flaxseed, gypsum; hemp, hides, skins;' and leather,...jute, wheat flour,, wool, tallow, -honey, etc.-The conditional restrictions governing the importation of certain goods into Canada are precisely the Bamo: as those in operation in the United. State!), the two Govcriraents having acted conjointly to guard against the practice of goods, being Bent into one country and- then dispatched across th.3 border.

In regard to the rumours that tho shipping engaged in the coastal and intercolonial "trade is to be diverted to other trade, the headquarters of the Union Com- • panv on Friday, gave the roport an unqualified denial; So far as this company is concerned there iB no intention to interfero with existing arrangements aa regards either coastal or inter-colonial services.

A revolution in the msthods of transporting frcipht on the Pacific will be 'brougnt about by the installation of_a barge syßtem which is being projected by a syndicate of San Francißco shipping men who expect to solve tho problem of handling'freight at'a minimum of coat (reports an American exchange).'. Owing to tho invention of a towing device for the towing vcsscland each barge, it is planned, to'nave each unit consist of three 5000-ton dead weight barges, in addition to the steamer or tug which will furnish tho power. These barge units will operate from Ran Franoisco to the Atlantic, the west coaßt of Month America. Alaska, Hawaii, and also to the Orient, South Pacific, and Australia, New and powerful tugs otg to be constructed, with a big steaming radius which will.permit.tho various units to be sent to any off-shore port, whatever tho distance may be. The bargee will have double bottoms, which will, be used .to carry fuel oil. The project promises to become the- bigecest: nhijsing scheme on tho l'acifie, at least, and has been planned to meet what is ejected tn be unusual ard.kecn competition after tho war.
