NEW YORK-AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING; Messrs. Mailler and Quereau, in their New York circular letter of October 21, referring to shipping matters, say;—'"TheSo are certain' to be troublesome during our winter season. Conditions at present are more diflieult to overcome than at «ny time since the beginning of the war. The withdrawal of all Greek tonnage from the carrying of merchandise ha.s called for more steamers for the Mcditerannean in the coal trade, and these have been diverted from other lines. Owners are very confident as to the future, certainly for tho coming six or nine months, and are unwilling to fix their steamers unless at extreme rates. Charterers hesitate to take tonnage at on the basis of time charters.and on round-sum charters owncra demand very full rates. Under these condition!;, the agents of tho various lines have -under consideration an advance in the freight rites on general merchandise. Many of

these lines arc being carried on lower than charter cost, and they aro not. disposed to - continue on a losing basis. Wo hope when the advance does take place that it will not be a' large one, but feci almost sure that we aro certain to have a change soon. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Captain Anton 0.
