It is reported from Liverpool that tho White Star R.M.S. Baltic, which arrived from New York on Monday morning, October 22nd, sailed again for New York on Thursday afternoon, and that during the Short period she was in the port she disembarked American passengers at the Liverpool landing stage, entered dock, discharged and loaded nearly 11,600 tons «f general cargo and bunkers in 54 working hours, afterwards undocking and embarking a full complement of passengers before sailing on her return journey.
