At the present time no less than 25 vessels are loading or on their way to Australian and New Zealand ports with cargoes of case oil for the Vacuum Oil Company Proprietary. Ltd. The fleet comprises 12 large steamers and 13 sailing ships, and a rough estimate places their aggregate cargoes at something like 3,000,000 cases of oil ami spirits. Five cargoes are for New Zealand ports in the steamers Hyndford (sailed May 20). Capo Breton (sailed Juno 17), Walk-arts (sailed July 1). Lord Lonsdale (sailed July), and Falls of Orchy (to load August). Of tho sailing ships only one. the Queen Elizabeth, is for New Zealand, she having been ( bartered to load at New York for "Auckland and Wellington. The Hyndford, Cape Breton, Walkure, and Lord Lonsdale will discharge at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin, but the Falls of Orchy will discharge at Napier and Timaru in addition to the above ports. The total quantity of oil and spirits coming by the six vessels named will fco roughly 950.000 cases. Kamona, s.s., which has put into -Sydney for repairs to her boiler tubes, is expected to go up to Newcastle early nextweek and load for New Zealand. The dispute betreen tho Merchant Service Guild and shipowners, in which improved conditions of employment, payment for overtime, a new scale of wages, the eight-hour day system, and preference to unionists are asked for, will come before the Conciliation Council on August 14. Eighteen shipping owners or companies and .about 300 employees are concerned. •It is rumored, says ‘ Fairplay,’ that the Canard Steamship Company contemplate entering the Australian trade. At last month’s meeting of the Lyttelton

Harbor Board the late Mr T. E. Taylor gave notice of motion to the effect that the commercial aspect of the proposed Sumner-lleathcotq canal bo investigated and reported on by two. or more competent New Zealand harbor authorities. At yesterday's meeting of the boa id, “out of respect to Mr Taylor and as a matter of policy,” it was decided to consider the question of appointing a commission to investigate and report on the matter. In order to avoid entering into competition with the new Norwegian-Austrahan lino, tho German-Australian Steamship Company have arranged that its boats shall in future only call at Norwegian ports once every six weeks, instead Oi monthly, as hitherto.
