Messrs Neill and Co.. Ltd., the local agents of the Oceanic Steam Ship Company, have received advice that the management have decided to establish a more frequent service between San Francisco and Sydney by the despatch of steamers every three weeks instead of four weeks, as has hitherto been done. The s.s. Sierra will enter the trade to overtake the increased traffic, and the improved service will commence with the s.s. Sonoma leaving San Francisco on November 16, and will be followed by the Sierra on December 9 and the Ventura- on December 28. This development secures to the public an improved' mail and passensrer connection, and is marked evidence of the increasing commercial relations be- j tween the Australasian colonies and the United States of America.
