Tyser and Company's steamers (reports the Commercial' News) are beginning to run very close to some of the smart steaming records yet made to the Commonwealth from oversea ports. Nearly every one of the- fleet that hae put in an appearance lately has arrived before time-table dote. The last steamer that ncoomplished ' a performance of this kind was the Indralema., now at Sydney, which made the trip from New York to Melbourne in "48 days. The Hnwkes Bay, which was one of the first of the line tolvielfc Australia, hae a similar record to her credMt, nnd while on previous trip she made thn journey to Fremantlo from New York in 41 days. The Niwaru, whioh arrived at London on the. 24th ult., made the, passage from Wellington in 39 days, and the Marere, now at Melbourne, from London, after a 42 days' run, made the same vovige during--1906 under 39 days. The Star of NeV Zealand also made the voyage to Melbourne, from London Inst year in 48 clays, while other smart passages could be quoted if space permitted. NEW ZEALAND TIMBER TRADE. I It seldom happens that 'the New Zealand fleet in port at Sydney is increased by four vessels in. the one. morning, hut suoh was 1 the esse on tho 4th inst., for that number (cnmmntis the Shipping LW) arrived all laden vritb timber, which will be discharged here. The first to put in an appearance was the barquentine Pendie Hill, at 7.5 a.m., from Wnng?nul, after a passage of >11 d(ivs, with 208 218 ft of pine, consigned to tho Utfion Box nnd Parking- Case Co., and ehe was followed 1 at 8 o'clobk by the barquentine Hclga, 13 day* out from Kaipara, wth 966J)16ffc of kauri for H. M'Krnsio "Ltd. At 8.40 a.m. the barque Munurewa entered port, after a 14 days' trip from Kaipara with 292,743 ft of kauri cons'srned to Messrs. R. S. Lnmb and Co., and at 9.35 the barouentine lima, from the Thames, with 300,000 ft of pine, also for Messrs. R. S. Lamb and Co., was towed into port. ,

Captain Carmieliael. late *>f tlie barqueniinea -Mary Isabel and St. Kilda. has been appointed master of the barquent'ne lima, now in port at Sydney discharging timber from the Thames. The Penfruin broueht dnwn from New Plvmnuth this morning 980 eases of cheeee for transhipment 'to the Kaikoura. Last week's shipping operations at the Bluff are reported to have been very bn«k, and in one respect at all events they must have been exceptionally remunerative. Stevedores made an averngp wage of £7: as much as £9 for the week beinjr quoted. Three of the crafts handled were Home 3teameirs, each of which was despatched with great rap'ditv. 'Work went on 'cxy night as well as by day, and it is easy j to understand that it was persistent as well as laborious. | The Shaw-Savill steamer Aotea. is loading general prnduce and wool at Port Chalmers, nnd w : ll commence to load 1 frozen moat on the 2Otn Febmnrv. On completion she will probp.bly call at Oamam for further loading before proceeding to northern ports. Sir. Walter Henrler, late second officer of the Union Stramsiiip Company's steamer Tnkapnna, passed l} ; s examination la«fc week before Captnin Blaclcburne for a certiorate qf comrn»teTiov fls extra master. ' Mr. Render enjoys the distinction (acrording to the Lyttelton Times) of ! beinjr the first in New Zealand to obtain th : s certifion-te under the< new regulations requiring a knowledge of naval architecture. The V n'nn Company's etjamer Wamlta is ship- ! ping 12,000 sacks of outs in tho south for Auokland. The New Zealand Shipping Company ha* chartered the eteome. Ayrshire to load in New Zealand.
