Messrs Richardson and Co.’s Fanny left for Napier yesterday with 250 hales of wool for‘the Napier sales. The auxiliary schooner AVaiapu will probably get away for Auckland to-day. The U.S.S. Co.’s AVanaka left Napier at 10.30 last evening for Gisborne, with On completion of discharge she proceeds to Auckland. The U.S.S. Co.’s Squall passed the East Cape at 8 a.m. yesterday, but did not leave Tologa Bay till 8 o’clock last night owing to easterly weather. She will arrive early this morning, or at noon to-day. The U.S.S. Co.’s Monowai arrives from South to-morrow morning, and .leaves later for Auckland. The Tuatea goes out at 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. The U.S.S. Co.’ s Mokoia returns from Auckland to-morrow afternoon, and leaves for South during the evenfug. , ' . Long detention at the Plate is again •causing serious disappointment to tramp owners. One steamer recently spent two months there in cutting out a general cargo and apparently there is little prospect of an improvement taking place, judging from .the heavy cargoes now being constantly despatched from England and the Continent to the Argentine. Another instance of the hard lot of the tramp is furnished by the fixture of steamers of 3600 d.w. for the Cape berth at 16s' with three .ports of loading, and three of discharge. The Brazilian coasting trade has been brought to such a wretched condition by the Lloyd Brazileiro that the Government has now decided upon its thorough reorganisation. The concern is to be turned into a joint-stock company, upon conditions imposed by the ‘Government, which, however, have not yet been fully disclosed. It is certain that the Government, probably by representation on the directorate, will ensure for itself a controlling influence in the management of the company’s affairs. At present the Brazilian Government pays 4,229,000d01. annually in subventions to shipping, of which the Lloyd-Brazileiro receives 2,995,990d01. In 1902 the total annual subsidies amounted to 7,752,00d01., and of subsequent increases the Lloyd Brazileiro has always had the lion’s chare. lIY TELEGRAPH.
