The Margaret W. leaves Auckland this evening for Coast bays and Gisborne, arriving here on Thursday. The Tiroa leaves Auckland to-mor-row for Gisborne.. “I think the trade'conditions in the shipping world are just as bad as ever, and there is no real evidence of their getting better just at present,” said Mr. O. Thompson, one of the Sydney managers of the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Shipping Lane, who arrived at Wellington by the lonic irom Southampton. Mr. Thompson told a Post representative that that was the impres- , siou he gained while he was in England, and it was not likely that a change had taken place in six weeks. The trade ■ between England and America, he said, j. had dwindled away almost to nothing., ’ During the tourist season in normal 1 times the large passenger liners might 1 carry 800 to 900 passengers in one class,. but now the companies were lucky if their ships carried 200 or 300. “These ships carry very little cargo, and I don’t know how the companies , carry on. Some of the big liners make cruises in the holiday seasons to bring in a little extra revenue. ” SHIPPING TELEGRAMS 1 Suva. —Sept. 26: Arrived, Monterey. j from Auckland. _ j Melbourne. —'September 23: Arrived, : Wainui, from Bluff; Hula, from Auckland.
