SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.

WESTPORT, This Day.—To sail at 11 p.m., Mapourika for Greymouth. WELLINGTO N,This Day.—Arrived at 10.30 a.m., Pareora from Greymouth. A COMBINE ARRANGED. [by telegraph—special to the star 1 DUNEDIN, This Day. . It is generally believed in local shipping circles That the competition between the American and Australian line and the United States and Australian Steamship Company, both trading from New York to New Zealand and Australian ports, is now at an end. For some time past both lines have boon losing heavily, occasionally as much as £2OOO to £3OOO on a dingle charter. When advices come to hand it will probablv be found that the shinning business run by the New York combine are tired out of tho competition, and run up the white flag. At all events some arrangements between the two shipping companies has evidently been arrived at.

WEST OF ENGLAND SERVICE

DUNEDIN, This Day.

The Federal Holder Shire line, some times known a,s the contract line of steamers, have decided to run a direct regular monthly service to West of England ports via Cape Horn. One advantage conferred by the new arrangements will be that local exporters will be able to nlace their goods on the West of England market within forty-five days instead of 80 or 90 days, as was the ease when steamers had to call at South African and other ports. The new service will commence with the steamer Devon in November and she will be followed at regular monthly intervals by the other first-class steamers of the three federated lines. Advices confirming this new arrangement werj received by Turnbull, Martin and Co. today. WRECK OF THE MOANA. NEW PLYMOUTH, September 26. Another body has been recovered from the wreck of the Moana. A rough sea is impeding the search. The heavy sea on Tuesday night damaged the hull of the Moana. The search party found tho second body an the beach about a mile from the scene of the wreck. It was the body of a young man, over 6ft, light hair and moustache. The body was fully clothed, excepl'the boots, and had two coats on. Tho presumption is that he was on watch. The search will be resumed to-morrow. A heavy wind is now blowing in from the sea, and there is a considerabfc break on.
