The London correspondent of The- Post, ■writing .under date 16th ApHl, • states that "the Shaw, Savill, aud Albion Company's steamer* Tairoa, built for - the New Zealand service* at Newcastle-on-Tyne by the Armstrong Whitworth Company, will be; handed over., in about -a month's time, and will be - put into commission immediately. The Maitnoa, being built by Messrs. Palmer's Shipbuilding add Iron Company, Ltd., at Hebbum-on-Tynj;, was launched on the 2Srd March. The Glasgow arm of Messrs. Alexander Stephen and Sons, Ltd., are proceeding with the Maiakana, but de- . livery is not expected for several' months. These'are all cargo vessels." '■■■•■ ', . PERSONA!., . , .. ;" .' ' Captain H. S. Weston, who is in command of the- liner Somerset, at present at Auckland, was on board the Hurunui when that vessel was torpedoed oft! Cape Ushant while bound, from Wellington to London with a valuable cargo of foodstuffs. > MOANA AT SAN FRANCISCO. Advice lias been received by the Union Company to the effect that the E.M.B. Moana, from Wellington, Rarotonga; and Papeete, ar- ' /ived at San Francisco at 5 p.m. on Monday. The Burns-Philp steamer Induna, which was , reported a few days ago as having been sold to the Patrick Steamship Company of Syd- . Bey, was for many years employed in the Island trade, but as this expanded she naturally became too small, and was ■ for some • time laid up* in Sydney, where she ,waa principallj used as a storeship. With the accumulation ■of cargo at Kabaul, however, she was once snore j pressed- into service, and has made' one or two trips in order to relieve, the congestion. The Induna is a steel screw steamer of 699 tons grdss and 428 net. She was built at Aberdeen by Hall, Russell, and Company, and .. is 190 ft 6in.long, 28ft sin. beam, and lift 21n deep. . . . . ■ The quantity of coal chipped ftt Newcastleduring the week ending 15th May for places beyond the State Was D 1.695 tons, of which 60,492 tons represented shipments for Com- ' monwealth and New Zealand ports, the balance being for foreign ports. For tho correspondiug period Jast year the total was 61,165 tons. Mr. Ballantyne, the Canadian Minister of Marine, reviewing in the House of Commons the progress of the Canadian mercantile ma- , Jine, said, that, it,, was not often that Qov-er'nment-owned services showed a profit, but| although only 10 vessels we're operated last year, their earnings yielded interest of. 5J per cent, upon the investment, after providing for new organisation, insurance, and opening. new routes. The Government had contracted for 63 vessels, representing a tonnage of 380,000 tons.' The average cost of the ships would 'be 190 dollars per ton. Since the armistice was signed the Government had been able to secure a price of 167 dollars per ton. In the United States the same vessels cost over 200 dollars per" ton. The Mapourika, which has been relieving the Arahura on the East Coa3t run, was ,to leave Whangarei to-day for Napier and Wellington * -with a cargo of cement. Due at Wellington early next week the vessel will, on comple■tlon of discharge, load general cargo for New \ Plymouth. The intercolonial steamer Maheno wfil now leave Auckland for Sydney 'at 3 p.m* to-mor-row. '■ ''■■.' The Schwarzenfels, now discharging basic nhoVphates from Snfaga (Eed. Sea) at Auckland, is due at Wellington to-morrow week. , The Union Company's steamer Waitemata arri+ed at Auckland .this week from San Franci3co with 60,000 cases of benzine, for. discharge at New Zealand ports. ■ , ■

Ths'Marama came out of dock at Port Chalmers on-. -Monday afternoon. The Dunetltn Star states "that" the vessel's overhaul will be compTeted. in. "a" iveek or" two. The steamer Opihi Is duo at Auckland tomorrow with a load of coal^ from Newcaßtle. The Blenjieim will leave . here on Monday next for Westhaven to load timber for Wellington. The Corinna lefts Wellington last evening for New Plymouth with a cargo mainly comprising . transhipments. The vessel will return to Wellington, - and , will load here early next week for Duhedin, Oamaru, and Timaru. ' ■
