What is claimed to be the highest rate of freight ever paid for a sailing vessel to carry lumber from Puget Sound to Australia is being paid to the owners of tho American four-masted schooner Commerce, now on her way to Adelaide with 900,000 ft of lumber from Tacoma. The charter was arranged at 735, and that rato is, of course, due to tho scarcity of tonnage for tho business.

NEW ORIENT LINER, An important announcement in regard to the mail service to Australia from tho United Kingdom was made in Sydney recently. Brieily, it is that tho Orient S.N. Company has decided to provide another new vessel of similar design to tho Orama in the service, and tenders for her construction have been invited from five firms, Messrs J. Brown and Co., of Clydebank, who built the Orsova .and Orama; tho Fairfield Shipbuilding Company, which built the Otway; Messrs Workman, Clark, and Co., Ltd., who built the Otranto and Orvieto; Messrs Connell, Laird, and Co., Ltd., Birkenhead; and the Palmor Company, of Jarrow and Heb-burn-on-Tyne, being the five. The now vessel will, it is understood, be practically a sister ship to tho Orama, which was launched only within the last two years. This vessel, it may bo recalled, .is 550 ft by 64ft by 42ft, and 13,003 tons gross register, and has accommodation for 450 first and second class pa£6engcrs and over 630 third class, whilst three of the holds and one ofi the 'tween deck spaces aro insulated. Her propelling machinery consists of a combination of two 6ots of four cylinders, tripleexpansion engines and a low-pressure Parsons turbine, tho latter driving the centre one of her three propellers. Tho Orama is also regarded as one of tho most palatial vessels coming south of the Line, and no doubt her eietor ship is being constructed to replace the Orontes.

SHIP FUEL AT PANAMA. Fuel for vessels using the Panama Canal will (says The Times correspondent at Panama) be supplied both by; the United States Government and by private parties. No private company will be granted or leased land on the water front at the terminals, and therefore none will have a monopoly due to land possession. The Government will go so extensively into the coal and fuel oil business that no private company or combination of companies will be able to control the coal and oil situation on the isthmus. The Government will maintain great coal depots and oil stores at both entrances to tho canal with elaborate machinery for loading and unloading. Tho plant is so designed that private coal and oil supplies may bo handled by tho Government plant at so low a cost that it would be poor economy for private companies to erect plants of their own.

On the loading and unloading wharves the Government pumps and pipes will bo used, a low price for service being charged uniformly to all oil companies. It is planned to have the permanent coal and oil plants on the isthmus in operation by January 1, 1915, and temporary plants will be installed to handle tho first year's navigation.
