After discharging general cargo she loads a quantity for the north and sails this evening for her usual ports via Dunedin. The C. and D. Line steamer Port Campbell finished taking in the Southland portion of her Homeward loading early yesterday afternoon and sailed last night for New Plymouth in continuation. The Union Steam Ship Company advise through their local agents that the Poolta sailed from Napier at 11.30 a.m. yesterday for Gisborne, Wellington and then Bluff.

The Commonwealth and Dominion Line motor ship Port Fremantle arrived at Wellington on Thursday from New York and Savannah, via Auckland. During the voyage from Savannah to Panama the vessel crossed the edge of a hurricane and experienced stormy weather for 24 hours, the conditions necessitating her being hove to for a short period. In the Pacific the weather generally was good until the vessel was nearing New Zealand after which a boisterous north-east wind and frequent heavy rain saualls were experienced. The motor cargo tonnage under construction at the present time is, according to the July number of the Motor Ship, 75 pet cent, more than it ras a year ago. Steamer tonnage has also increased, but this represents only a small proportion of the total. The imnrovement since the commencement of the year has been considerable, for on January 1 the motor cargo ships being built were of about 100,000 tons gross, whereas the figure is now 325,000 tons gross. It should be added that this tonnage is very small compared with the amount of construction in normal times, but the increase during the last Iz. months is a hopeful sign for the future, especially as the world mercantile fleet is rapidly diminishing, on account of the large number of ships being scrapped. It is estimated that at the end of 1933 the world tonnage will be 1,500,000 tons gross less than it was at the beginning of the year. The Port Hardy, which has been discharging London cargo at Australian ports, will come to New Zealand to load and is due at Lyttelton to-day. The Wairuna reached Suva on August 19 from Auckland.
