It is doubtful (says the Sydney Morning j Herald) if at any previous period in the hisJ tory of Newcastle so many large sailing ships . were heading towards the port of Newcastle. 1 at one time as is the case at present. The ; Newcastle-bound fleet at this moment comprises ships of the greatest size, and the . aggregate lifting capacity of this splendid . fleet is estimated at 200,000 tons. Busy times . are assuredly ahead for the coal port. . Several causes have contributed to this excepi tional supply of tonnage. The war troubles at Rio Janeiro have materially assisted in - diverting tonnage towards Australian ports, but the chief reason will probably be found in . the inducements offered by California, i There rates have hardened, anefoi big hat vest is close at hand. Last month's San i rancisco ' reports give the following as the position of . the tonnage market there with regard to . ships expected from oversea ports To the 10th February last the total tonnage on the [ way to San Francisco was 191,000 • tons ; in ; February, 1893, it was 248,000; February, 1 1892, it was 244.000; in February,. 1891, the I total was 310,000. The totals of on-the-way i shipping to other Californian ports than San Francisco on the 10th of February of the pre- , sent year wore {inclusive of British Columbia) , 48,000, as against 74,000 in February, 1893, i and 75,000 the year before. So that, taking 1 the whole of the West Coast North American reports together, the to-arrive tonnage was - 82,000 short compared with the year 1893, * and 79,000 less than in 1892.
