An understanding has been arrived at between the Swedish-South Africa Line, She - East Asiatic Steamship Company (Copenhagen), and the firms of Fearnsley »nd Eger (Christiania) and W. Wilhelm3en (Tonsberg) for the maintenance of a joint service from Scandinavian poTts to South Africa and Australia. On the South African route 6ix Danish, six Swedish, ind two Norwegian steamers are to be jmployed, and from Durban to Australia four Swedish and three Norwegian vessels. The Cunard Line have decided to call the 50,000-ton steamer, which is being built by Messrs John Brown, Ltd., of Clydebank, the Aquitania. It is stated that the vessel will cost £2,000,000. P. AND 0. LINE AND HOB ART. A rather important announcement in connection with the P. and 0. Royal Mai] • service and the Australian trade has been made, and unless the unexpected happens the steamer Morea, timed to leave Sydney on the 20th prox., will be the last of the company's mail steamers to visit the Tasmaruan port. The reason for this is said to be the extended servico to New Zealand .during the summer months making it inconvenient to call at Hobart owing to the short time the vessels are in Australian waters, combined with the fact that the contract existing between the company md the'principal Tasmanian shippers for »he carriage ot goods to London will expire shortly. Some twenty years have passed linca the first steamer of the line visited Tasmania,, and naturally the decision now irrived at has caused some surprise. However, although the P. and 0. mail steamers will not call there, it is quite likely that the flag will not become unknown, for if arrangements now in hand are completed the engagements that have hitherto fallen on mail steamers will be taken up by the cargo boats, such as the Pera, Palermo, Palma, Poona, etc., all of jbout 8,000 tons, and admirably equipped, is experience has already proved, for the jarriage of fruit.—' Commercial News.'
