SHIPPING MERGER.
CHANGES IN FUTURE. SYDNEY, Aug. 5. The Sun’s correspondent at Vancouver cables that behind the Wellington announcement that the Canadian Pacific Railway is taking a leading interest in the Canadian-Australian line 'may come important developments during the next few years. The Empress liners in the trade between Vancouver and the Orient aro doing very satisfactory business in direct distinction to the falling-off of trade and the cutting of rates prevalent on the Atlantic. There may bo no changes in the service from Vancouver to Sydney for several months, but eventually the intention is to install greatly improved ships and a double number of sailings, to take full advantage of the improvement in trade under the new treaty. The plan is to build faster, better communications across the Pacific, and, perhaps, to circle the Pacific with special sailings from Vancouver to New Zealand, Australia, Manila, and the Orient.
