At the latter place freights of nitrates are .to bo so-

cured, and tho steamers will then complete their homo run either to New York or .Baltimore.

Considerable interest has been taken in tho Luckenbnch Lino in New Zealand on account of tho allegations made respecting tho nationality of tho owners of the lino.
