As with the old charge there will still be the addition of 10 per cent, primage. The information is received with satisfaction. The reduction is taken to be due to the fall in the prices of war risks, together with the fact that more shipping has been immediately released to resume routine trade.

This means that the Atua will sail direct for Fiji, and will not call at Auckand. Apart from the

trouble passengers are experiencing, the epidemic is playing havoc with the mail service.
