The steamer Surat has been chartered to load sugar at Peruvian ports for Auckland. The Surat is a Weir Lino steamer of 3,819 tons. She was built at Glasgow in 1917, and was iormerly named Belwa. PANAMA CANAL TRAFFIC, According to official figures just published, 5,475 vessels, paying 6,658,807 dollars in tolls, passed through tho Panama Canal during tho fiscal year ended June 30. Of this number 55 per cent, were in ballast, whereas of the eastbound ships less than 2 per cent, were without useful cargoes. Tanker vessels represented the largest individual class of ship, no fewer than 1,324 vessels carrying 7,250,579 tons of oil and by-products having paid tolls. The total quantity of cargo carried through tho canal was 27,748,214 tons. NEW C. AND D. LINERS. The propelling machinery for the two 11,000-ton twin-screw insulated vessels for the Commonwealth and Dominion Line aro both to be fitted with the Doxford opposed piston .oil engines, which will' be built by William Doxford and Sons, Limited, at their Pallion works, ana are to be of the fourcylinder balanced type with bore of 600 mm. and combined stroke of 2,320 together giving 8,000 h.p. Messrs DOX-‘ ford have previously supplied the engines for tho C. and D. motor vessels Port Hobart, Port Dunedin, Port Fremantle, and Port Gisborne. THE DULLER BAR. Tho serious shoaling that has taken place on tho Duller bar may he gath-. ered from the that shipping has been limited to a loading of 17ft (says thi ‘Westport News’). This sents ISin short of what the Komaia is capable of loading to, or, roughly, i 350 tons. The Waipori, which can or-

dinarily load to 10ft Sin, and under restriction cannot load _ beyond 1711, will have to. shut out 550 tons. The Kaiapoi also will have to go short loaded. This represents a most serious loss of trade, which cannot iail to bo widely felt, and shows how necessary it is that tho marine authorities should be kept up to their responsibilities. Had they not adopted a penny wise pound foolish policy, this serious state of affairs would never, have existed. Tho Marine Department has not yet shown that it can handle the port of Westport as well as did a local board in the days of harbor board regime. NEW ORIENT LINER, -At Barrow-on-Fumess on September 27 there was launched Irom Vickers, 'Ltd.’s yard a new steamer ior the Orient,'Steam Navigation Company.

The deck space for recreation and exercise is unusually extensive, while tho needs of the third class passengers have received special consideration. The Orford has twin propellors, the machinery being of the single reduction geared turbine typo, three turbines on each shall. The boilers are oil-fired, 'and constructed for a working pressure of 2151 bto the square inch. ■ ■ NEW MOTOR SHIPS. It is reported in the -‘Motorship , that the New Zealand Shipping Com-pany-has decided to have ■ built threemotor cargo ships instead of two -passenger liners, as 1 originally .intended. The motor ships will he built by Messrs j. Brown and Co. They will be sbojt long, with a beam of 7011, and will carry about 10,000 tons. In each ship two five-cylinder Brown Sulzor engines of 5,000 s.h.p. are to be installed. The cylinders are 900 mm. in diameter, with a piston stroke or 1,600 ram., and the speed is- 95 r.p.m. The generating machinery will consist of two six-cylinder Sub.cr engines of 780 b.h.p. each, running at 170 r.p.m., and two Weir-Sulzer motors of 500 b.h.p., running at 500 r.p.m., all coupled direct to dynamos. Those will bo the highest powered motor cargo ships afloat. TR EMEADOW IN PORT. Tho A. and A.
