Although an official statement is lacking it has become known that' the Panama Canal will again be ready for traffic not later than January 1. Latest advices state, however, that Major-General Goethals. Governor of the Canal Zone, continues to maintain an attitude of reticence. declining to commit himself to any definite data for reopening the canal in view of the uncertainty of 6lide conditions in the Gaillard Cut. General Goet lials declares that it is still too early to make predictions, because a large movement of earth can happen at any time, although none now is actually in sight. The chartered steamer Ashburton left ■ Auckland at 7.20 p.m. .yesterday in continuation of her journey from Montreal. She is coming to the agency of the NewZealand Shipping Company, and should snow ui) huro nlther to-morrow evening or Saturday morning. -Some anxiety was occasioned by the bar-quen-tine Lihdstol's long' passage from Wancanui to Sydney, but advice has been received in Wellington that she.'has reached her destination after a- run of 39 days. . The sailer had been delayed by adverse 1 weather conditions. After having been laid up at Patea for • some months, the South Taranaki " ship Company's Mana will make her re- ■ appearance here to-morrow. She is in charge of Captain Johdnsen, late mate of > the Kapuni, and will be engaged in the 1 Wellington-Patea trade. 1 1 On arrival from Lytteltou this morning '■ the Moeraki will berth at No. 16 Jervois Quay. She will take her departure from ! that wharf for Sydney direct at 5 p.m. ■ Either to-day or to-morrow, the Scales ■ chartered steamer Hebburn will arrive , from Napier to fill up for London. Sho ' will berth at the Glasgow Wharf. 1 Up till an early hour this morning the ' coastal steamer John, which -was to have ' left for Timaru, was still in port. Sho ■was detained on account of being a- 6rcI man short. ■ i Froin Wanganui the Star of India has 1 gone on to Waitara. She will proceed 1 thence to Gisborne and Napier, and will return to Wellington early next month. > Departure will be taken for London oh 1 Januaiy 6. i The Union Company's Kauri is bein? cleaned and painted in Lyttclton dock preparatory to goini; on the wuol berth for America. She will be floated out tomorrow, and subsequently loads at Lyttel- | ton, Wellington, and Napier for San Francisco. 1 Cabled advice has been received stating that the F. and S. liner Dorset, which ' left Wellington on October 12, and which was reported as having put into Ha,\*o, has arrived Home. The A. and A. Line's chartered tieamer I Parattoh arrived at Lyttclton rromi New • York direct yesterday morning. She- left • the American port on October 16, and was • originally intended to come via the Canal, 6ut owing to the slip she was diverted ; to the Cape route. From Lyttclton the • Parattoh will proceed to Dunedin, and 1 thence to Australia to complete discharge. - Special interest attaches to the Parattah's arrival in these waters, inasmuch as she was formerly the Deutsche-Australische steamer Berlin, which was seized by the , British. 1 Due here from northern ports to-morrow tlie Paloona. will land 448 tons of Auckland I cargo before proceeding on to Lyttelton and Dunedin. With a big load, of dairy produce for transhipment to London, aDd othcT cargo, the Kini is expected to leave the Bluff at 9 a.m. to-day.

She will be dispatched from the last-mentioned port next week.
