ABUNDANT CARGO OFFERING. ) London files report that great difficulty [ is being experienced in obtaining room for cargo in the steamers for New Zealand, this being particularly marked in I the case of the cargo steamer Waiwera, which, through unforeseen circumstances, had to take the direct Launceston (Tasmania) berth, as well as the ordinary itinerary, to Auckland, Wellington and Bluff. Hundreds of tons of stuff were refused a week before she sailed, and but for this an actual shut-out of over 1000 tons would have taken place, instead of some 200 tons, which really happened. The Shaw-Savill steamers for New Zealand; via'Hobart, have had more goods sent to them than could be dealt with. By both the mail and cargo .steamers from London short shipments were much in evidence, the Tongariro, of May 15, and the Corinthic, of May 25, having been full to overflowing, although the latter had an exceedingly fine cargo of nearly 9000 tons. From present indications shippers are in for an exceedingly busy time during the latter half of the year, for wherever one looks room is being booked up months ahead.

A VETERAN SKIPPER. Captain B. E. Smith, of the U.S.S. Co.'s steamer Mokoia, is to retire from the service, having reached the age limit. The directors of the Union Company have decided to make Captain Smith a liberal retiring allowance, and also to present him with a timepiece. Captain Smith went to sea. in 1862, trading to the Mediterranean and West Indies. He came to New Zealand in the Queen Bee in 18GD, and after a visit to England returned to the Domcnion. He joined the Union Co.'s service as second officer of the Taiaroa in 1877. He has now 27 years' service as a master to his credit.
