PORT OF BLUFF. There were no shipping movements at ‘ills port yesterday. It was reported recently that the jShaw, Savill and Albion Company s Steamer Rangatira was coming to New Eealand.

Advice received from London states that Holt's Blue Funnel Line lias ordered two 20,000-ton steamers, each GSOft long, for the Australian trade. These rvessels will be built by Messrs Workman. Clark and Co., of Belfast. When the big 20-000 tonners are completed, the Blue Funnel Line will have no lewer than seven immense passenger ■(earners in the Australian trade, and It Is very probable that a fortnightly service will be maintained in place of • the monthly one now In operation.
