NEW P. AND 0. LINERS ELECTRIC DRIVE At the P. and O. Company’s recent meeting in Loudon, Lord Inehape, who presided, said that the branch line to Australia via the Cape had for some years past resulted in losses, owing to more tonnage being put into the trade than it could stand by the advent of the Commonwealth Government Line, so it was discontinued. The company had placed several of the ships on the Suez route, where it was hoped to do better, and was employing others elsewhere. Rationalisa tion generally between, the lines in the Australian trade was likely to help. There was a growing disposition on the part of people in Australia, he said, to visit the Old Country, and he anticipated that the lower passage rates on several mail steamers would enable the company to secure a considerable number of passengers homewards and outwards. The company was about to place an order for two 20,000-ton ships, with turboelectric drive, oil fuel, large saloon passenger accommodation, and comfortable third-class cabins. CUSTOMS REVENUE. , The Customs revenue collected at the port of Wellington yesterday totalled £26,460.
