On Sunday the Hawkes Bay is due from Gisborne and Napier. She takes in 920 tons bunker coal, and sails on tho following day for London. Tho Indramnyo is due in Wellington about 15th October to land 500 tons cargo, and sails hence to Wanganui, Bluff, Gisbovne, and Napier iv turn, finally taking her departure for London from Wellington about the n'rst week in November. The rates of freight on wool from New Zealand by steamers to catch the nexfc January London wool sales, though higher than last year, are the same as tho rates ruling from Sydney. Tho demand for transport in connection with the recent war in Manila and Cuba has created a scarcity of tonnage, and consequent hardening of freights throughout Austrnlabia.
