The decision ■ of the New Zealand Shipping Company to make Auckland the first port of call for its next six steamers leaving London was the subject of further inquiry from the Auckland manager of the company.. Mr. C. V. Houghton (states the "Herald") He stated that the new policy has been partly brought about by tho shortage of tonnage. It is a matter of economising time and tonnage on the coastal r : un, and with the view of turning the ships round as quickly as possible. Unider the new arrangement .shippers will get the benefit of time-tablo boats. There was no doubt also, Mr. Houghton said, that Auckland's trade had expanded, and this was being realised in London. No advice has been received at the local office of the Slvaw, Savill, and Albion Company of any similar deoision on the part of that company. . . R.M.S. Makura., which is en route from Vancouver to Auckland and Sydney, was due at Suva to-day. Sho is expected to arrive at the northern port on Sunday.
