A striking illustration of fortunes being made in tho shipping world of America was afforded at San Francisco, when tho American steamer Macinaw was sold there by Goorgo and James Flood, of San Francisco, to a Japancso firm for 300,000 dollars. The Flood Bros, purchased the steamer fronr the Robert Dollar Company, of Vancouver, eight months ago, for 100.000 dollars. They made a profit of 200,000 dollars on the sale of tho vessel, liesides another 50,000 dollars which they cleared on voyages to Australia and Vladivostock.

THE BARQUE ANTIOPE. To )v\ dismantled and dismasted to servo in tho humble capacity of a coal hulk, and then to be suddenly renovated, fitted -ip, and rejuvenated for tho purpose of cargo carrying, has boon tho unique experience of the iron barque Antiopc. which is now loading timber at Kaipara for an Australian port No other vessel in New Zealand, probably in the world, has passed through such a motamorphosis, says an Australian exchange. Sho arrivod in Now Zealand about nine months ago, and tho intention was that sho should end her days as a hulk. Her masts were torn out, and all her gear was cleared away. When tho want of shipping space became bo acute, sho was bought by tho Otago Roller Mills Company, and was entirely refitted. Her hull is auito sound, and it is expected that sho will retain her seaworthiness for many years yet.
