Catye; advice been received stating that’.the Xew Zealand Shipping Company’* Rakaia. hound from Montreal to Welllpgton. ■ via way ’ ports, passed Cape Town on May 11. She is due at We.lUngidn about June- 22. What is probably one of the most unnsudl charters reported for some conrttjbrabla time is the engagement just •fringed for the steamer Joint Craig. The Mtt|e vessel has almost exclusively been engaged in the 1 Xew Zealand-Aus-trallan timber trade, but under the pre-. sent arrangement she is to make a trip to' Suva, carrying hardwood from Port Stephcqs. Such a cargo going forward to Fiji Is in itself most remarkable, for It Is probably the first occasion on which a full cargo lias been sent from New South Wales, or Australia, for that matter: and it is doubly so by the fact of the John Craig being engaged to transport it at a time when the demand for Xew Zealand pine is so great as U is at present. The rate secured by the John Qraig. h*» not transpired, but it can be taken for granted it..is a good one. , The local office of the Union Company has been advised that the steamer Walmkte left Rio de Janeiro for London on May 4. Thfr vessel cleared Wellington on April 1. and i£. due at her destination' on May 29.
