It will bo August 12 before the New Zealand Shipping Co.o steamer Whakatano arrives at Auckland from Montreal, via way ports.

Quite recently a vessel was fixed on timo charter for nine years 'at three shillings and nincpenco per ton dead weight, which is somewhat of a record period of time charter.
