Co.’s Squall was expected to leave Auckland last evening for Tologa Bay and Gisborne. Operations were busy on the scow Tramp yesterday in unloading the 100,000 ft of. timber which she brings for local builders. The U.S.S. Flora left Auckland last evening for Coast ports, Gsborne, Napier, and Wellington. The U.S.S. Co.'s Wanaka left Timaru early yesterday morning for Napier, Gisborne, and Auckland. She is due here to-morrow with a cargo of produce. The U.S.S. Co.’s Maheno, after an extensive overhaul, leaves Dunedin today and passes through Gisborne on Saturday next, in order to take up her Tunning in the Auckland to Sydney service, the Waikare in future being the connecting boat from Gisborne.. The Mokoia, which is due in Auckland on Sunday from Sydney, and is being replaced by the Maheno, leaves Auckland on Monday for Gisborne, a day ahead of time-table, arriving here on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Her passage down the coast is being expedited in order that she may take up the Manuka’s run to Melbourne, whilst the latter vessel lays up for overhaul. • Mr. J. Colley has been advised of tho arrival of the ketch Coronation at Tairua on Saturday night, after a rough trip. There was a delay of some two hours ou Tuesday last in getting the Aparima out of the Otago Dock (says the “Otago Daily Times”). The cause of the delay was a disarrangement in the caisson at the entrance, which caused it to heel over a little, and this necesitated the baling out of the surplus water from one of the bulkheads. The big steamer was ready to come out at 11 a.m., but did not get out until 1 p.m. After coming out of dock the Aparima went over to the George Street pier, and sailed for Newcastle on Wednesday, arriving at that port yesterday. A statement has appeared in print (says the “Dominion”) to the effect that the new 12,000-ton cargo steamer now building for the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company is to be called Waimana. On inquiry, this was found to he incorrect.

The barque Antiope, which put into Wellington over a week ago owing to the illness of her master, Captain P. J. Mathieson, has resumed her voyage to San Francisco and Eureka (California), under the command of Captain Cozens, who has been appointed temporarily. Captain Mathieson’s condition is still rather serious, and it is thought that he will not be fit to travel for some tme. As soon as his health will permit, Captain Mathieson will follow Els vessel to America by steamer. I hear that the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, Ltd., have contracted with Messrs Harland and Wolff, Belfast, for the construction of what will no doubt he the finest cargo steamer in tlie world, says a writer in “Fairplay.” 1 understand that she is to be 477 ft in length and about G3ft beam, with a gross tonnage of about 12,000 tons. She is to be employed in the company’s New Zealancf trade, and is to steam thirteen knots an hour, A great spurt in the shipment of Swedish iron ore to North America is expected to result from the reduction, under the new tariff, of the import duty upon iron ore in the United States. Even before the reduction the Grangesberg Company bad contracted to deliver 180.000 tons of ore to American ironfounders.
