The schooner Hrninui. which arrived from Wellington on Friday, was berthed at the Central Wharf on Saturday morning to discharge her general cargo The Riverina completed carsjo operations on Saturday afternoon and sailed for Sydney in the evening. She did not take any ordinary passengers from Auckland. The barque Rn'.hsay Bay, which has been loaded and anchored in the stream for some days, sailed for Melbourne yesterday morning.

The Ar-vhura, Flora. Whang* arid Eakanoa aie still huns up indefinitely owing to the shortage of seamen through so many being ill with influenza. An effort wi'.l he made to despatch the Arahura for the East Coast to-dav, but. it is not certain whether the vessel will sail or not. The barquentine Senorita left San Francisco for Auckland with a cargo of case oil on September 28. She should arrive about the beginning of next mon;h.

Syren and Shipping reports tha.t arrangements have been made by the Cunard Company to take over the general passenger agency of the Japanese steamship company, Toyo Kisen Kaisna, whose large and modern passenger steamers trade serosa the Pacific between San Francisco, Japan, and China, calling en rente at Honolulu. This is only one direction in which the Cunard Company is perfecting its preparations for the extension of its business when things revert to the normal. The passenger agency of the Toyo Kiwn Kai«ha points to a very material strengthening of. the Cunard Company's American connections, a department of its enterprise which but for the war would doubtless have shown some remarkable developments. RM.S. MAKURA. The Royal Mail steamer Makura left Vancouver for Auckland via way ports on November 8, and is due here on November 26. R.ILS. NIAGARA. The Royal Mail steamer Niagara sailed for Vancouver on Saturday evening. Owing to the epidemio and other reasons the vessel was delayed longer at Auckland than was expected when she arrived from Sydney. A largo quantity of cargo was shut out of the vesssl owing to there being no labour avail, able on the day of the armistice, and also through the waterside workers stopping work at 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
