An American three-master wooden schooner, the Esther Buhne.is at present on her way from tho Pacific Slope to Now Zealand. This vessel is one of 290 tons and Is one of the smallest that has ever visited theso shoresfrom America. To see such a small Teasel as this travelling such a distance is some indiwtion of how short shipping space la in tie world. Prior to the war to bring suoh a small cargo from America would not havei been a profitable undertaking at all, but this also indicates how t3ie frmght charges have risen on account ol tne war. The' auxiliary schooner Huia was not able to get into port yesterday, but, is expected, to-day. ■ 1.-U—HUlW"""™'
