PACIFIC TRADE
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS FASTER AND BETTER SERVICE A VANCOUVER PREDICTION (United Preßß Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY, This Day. ' The “Sun” correspondent at Vancouver cables that behind tho Wellington announcement that tho Canadian Pacific Railway is taking a leading interest in the Caiiadian-Austrulian line may come important developments during the next few years. Tho Empress liners in the trade, between Vancouver and the Orient are doing very satisfactory business in direct distinction to tho falling off of Irado and cutting of rates prevalent in the Atlantic trade. There may be no changes in tho service from Vancouver to Sydney for several months, but eventually the intention is to install greatly improved ships and double tho number of sailings to take full advantage of Hie improvement in trade under tho new treaty—in short, to build faster and bolter communications across tlie Pacific and perhaps circle tlie Pacific with special sailings from Vancouver to New Zealand, Australia, Manila, and tlie Orient.
