The volume- of business in shipping circles still maintains good proportions, and the next month, owing to the expected arrivals of large steamers, will go far to keep up the average of tonnage. The coastal vessels are all fairly, well employed, but, owing to the large amount of coal being imported from Newcastle, the vessels employed in the coastal coal trade meet with much delay in the discharge of their cargoes. The bars in the. Bay of Plenty ports have been very bad for some time part, owing to the absence of a sufficiency of water to enable the steamers to get in and put, and, in

consequence, the shipments of Produce have been much reW ded. 1 heftm ne hey Cduld in the matter by having tenders t'OpSand Whakatane, to bring out to the larger steamers as much produce as pos"bio, but there is still a large, amount of maize in store at both places.
