I In view of the interest which was aroused I by the completion last month of the 22,000- ' ton motor liner Alcantara, which, with her I sister ship, Asturias, represent the largMt oilI engined vessels in tbe world, it may be noted I that equal progress is being made in the con- ' of motor cargo vessels, and that > Bume owners are entirely discarding steamers. ! An example of this policy is recorded in The. Motor Ship, which states that less than three ! years ago a well-known shipowner with a j fleet of steamers, took delivery of his first I motor vessel. Since that time he has built ' craft of this type, and now has eight oil-en-gined ships in service and four on order. All his steamers except one have been sold, and it can only be concluded that this course of • action is the result of the proved economy of I the motor ships in service, as compared with i uarresponding steamers on the same routes. The Commonwealth and Dominion Line -.earner Port Denison will arrive in the Wanganui roadstead from Napier on Sunday to, , 1 >ad for Home. Her cargo will consist of JC.500 freight carcases. 6000 boxes of butter, : ,j ;;<» Cl ates of cheese, 125 bales of hides, 200 casks of tallow, and about 250 bales of wool.
