Ltd.. in referring to the conditions at Newcastle, state that the rush of vessels for coal loading still continues, and prospects for trade are particularly bright Unfortunately for the port, the appliances for dealing with the vast amount of shipping now coming this way are altogether inadequate, and considerable delay to vessels and loss of trade have been occasioned. I Tho work of installing additional wharfage accommodation and loading berths is necessarily slow, so tliat no relief can be afforded from this source for some time. It is the intention of the Government to pass a short Bill to do away with the present Neucastlc-Carringtou bridge, and this, with the resumption of tho Thorsby Creek foreshores, will be the first step towards the reclamation of the second basin. Freight ■ rates remain practically unaltered, and a fair amount of chartering is recorded. On September 1 • there were 52 deep-sea vessels, with an estimated carrying capacity of 200.CC0 tons, in port, loading aud to load for foreign destinations. For the month ended August 31, 33 sailers and 28 steamers, with 247,010 tons of coal, were sent forward to foreign ports, as against 28 sailers and 13 steamers, with 144,487 tons for the preceding month, and 15 sailers and 19 steamers, with 133,268 tons, for tho corresponding period of last year. All tho collieries are fully employed, and work is proceeding smoothly. Tho present ruling rates of freight, to foreign ports are as follow:—San Francisco 195., Honolulu 16s. 6d.. Acapulco 205.. Guaymas 20s.,'Callao 25;., Valparaiso 275. 6d„ West Coast Range 275. 6d„ Manila 125., Singapore 10s. 6d., and Java. Us.

The export of coal to foreign ports for the month ended August 5! totalled 247,016 tons, being an increase of 1D2.529 tons, as compared with the preceding month. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. F.
