PROJECTED DEPARTURES. Wimmera, for Melbourne, July 22. Victoria, for Svdney via Auckland, July 24. 1 Moeraki, for Sydney via Cook Strait. July 26. E. Hargreaves, mate of the ill-fated Aotea, was (says the “Post’) a brother of Captain Hargreaves, of the Union Company’s harbor launch Pilot. Hargreaves was for some time an officer in the service of the Union Company, and later was second mate of the Blackball steamer Pareora. He was a married man. The ‘New Zealand Times’ states that a break-down in the engine-room of the Mapourika on Tuesday afternon necessitated the postponement of her departure from Wellington for the West Coast till an early hour on Wednesday morning. A cable message has been received (says an Australian exchange) stating that the barque Gunvor. bound from New York to Melbourne with a cargo of case oil, consigned tp the Colonial Oil Company, has put into Algoa Bay with sickness on board. This passage of the Gunvor is proving very eventful, as she had to put into Bermuda about March 2,1 in a leaky condi.ion, and after being repaired, etc., resumed her voyage on April 25. The following steamers have been chartered by Messrs Howard Smith and Co. for the Australasian trade :■ —The Howick Hall, 3,712 tons, now bound from East London to Newcastle; the Gibraltar. 5.853 tons, now cn route from Japan to New Zealand, when she will go to Melbourne and load for South Africa; the Cape Breton, 5,872 tons; and the St. Helena, 4,205 tons. By the mail last week news was received stating that the steel four-masted barque, Arracan. 2.220 tons register, built in 1892 by Richardson. Duek, and Co. ; the sted ship Deccan, 1,836 tons register, built by Duncan and Co. at Glasgow in 1897; and the iron ship Mooltan, 1,616 tons register, built in 1880 by Messrs Richardson, Duck, and Go., at Stockton, have been sold by the British and Eastern Shipping Company (Mr J. M'Donald), Liverpool, to Messrs Lewis, Harron, and 00., London. The prices were not disclosed.

OVERSEA TRADE. An English shipping report states that '.he London mail steamers have been reserving better support than when last writing, cargoes approximating 6,000 tons having been reached in some instances. 'Hie Tyser Company had two despatches within a fortnight, the first one-—the hirer e—-having been delayed some while by repairs found necessary when dry docking, the damage thought to have been incurred in a New Zealand port. A substitution in the Now Zealand Shipping Company's itinerary became necessary bemuse of an overhaul to the Kaipara, and it was found in the Cape Corso, a boat chartered in New Zealand for the round voyage. The West Coast service is still the cvnosure of those who have an inside knowledge, and although no overt acts of warfare outwards are yet apparent, hostilities may break out at any time. We understand they have already commenced in the homeward trade. Meanwhile, the old shipowners, comprising the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company. Limited, the New Zealand Shipping Company, Limited, and the Tyser Line, Limited, have notified their intentions of keeping the West Coast berths supplied with tonnage, altogether apart and distinct from tlic service of the Federal Steam Navigation Company. Strange to relate, although relations are strained here, at New York a more conciliatory spirit is evinced, two of the groups there concerned", being also leading shipowners in the trade here, and it is on the cards that June and July steamers will be in .accord as to rates, upon a basis of about 30s per ton for weight. The out-ports, which in the olden days were served from London bv direct sailers, are dill occasionally visited by steamers, the latest fixture being the Kumara, to leave for Timaru at the end of July, after first discharging at Auckland and Wellington. The Liverpool sailers still keep inundated with cargo, the Australia, at present loading for Wellington, having to curtail her receiving date by several days, it being calculated that she will refuse some hm> .Ireds of tons, which should enable her successor, when fixed, lo pet away slightly earlier than she would otherwise do. A Nelson sailer fixture from London is 'to be found in the Westland for early July despatch, she having just arrived Home in the very excellent time of ninety-one days. AN AMERICAN-NEW ZEALAND SERVICE. *re*H Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 20. The ‘Daily Telegraph’s’ New York correspondent says that owing to a desire to accommodate exporters the' AmericanAnstralian Line will despatch a steamer from New York in August for New Zealand direct. 'This is attributed to Six Joseph Ward’s recent visit. THE OVERSEA STEAMERS. .The Star of Australia left Sydney for New Zealand ports yesterday. ' SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
