NOTICE TO MARINERS, The Auckland Harbour Board lias received a notification from the Marine Department stating that it has been decided io move the Shc:u'cr Rook buoy from its presont position off Tiri Tiri Island owing to tho existence of a newly-discovered shoal to the eastward of Shearer liock. The buoy would bo one mile and a quar : ter east of the south extreme of Tiri Tiri Island, and would have only 25ft. of water under it. In its ne-w position the buoy would mark both danger positions.

Advice received in "Wellington yesterday stated that the old E.. and A. steamer Aldenharo, sold to English buyers, has been renamed iLarnc. In their latest report from New York, Messrs. Mailler and Quercau state:— "There arc no material changes since our last report. The different lines have been chartering some further tonnage, but have had to pay full rates for same. The fall season is approaching, "when there is a much greater demand for tonnage or the transportation of grain, and,. as large supplies will no doubt bo required by Europe, this will mean paying high rates again this season. It will also make it more difficult to securo tonnage to load for Australia and New Zealand, as owneTS will much prefer the shorter and quicker turnabout of their steamers. None of the lines have made any change. l } in their freight quotations, and -we cannot learn that reductions of any kind have been made. Some of them are already discussing tho question of higher rates in tho near future." Overhaul to the Hawera » expected to bo completed in time for the 'Vessel to leave, Wellington for Patca at noon tomorrow. Duo in port this morning from tho north, the Tarawera will land 537 tons of cargo before proceeding, on to Lyttelton and Dunedin this evening.
