JAPANESE SHIPS
LAST FOR NEW ZEALAND j"BT TELEOEAPH —PRKSS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Monday According to the agents of one large Japanese company, a ship at present en route to Now Zealand will probably be the last of the line, to this country, as there is not much cargo offering, and the new Japanese tonnage control regulations imposed as the result of a shortage of ships in Japan will probably require ships to be used on more essential routes. New Zealand cargo will probably be transhipped in Australia if the service is discontinued. In the past about six Japanese ships have called at New Zealand ports every year.
No word of the suspension of the services of the two Japanese lines calling at New Zealand—the Yamashita Kisen Kaisha and the Osaka Syosen Kaisya—lias been received by the Auckland agents, Russell and Somers, Limited, and the Farmers' Co-operative Auctioneering Company, Limited. The Yamashita Kisen Kaisha motor-vessel Yamagiku Maru is expected at Auckland on July 23 from Kobe. Advice of her departure from Kobe has not yet been received in Auckland.
