In consequence of tho late arrifM i».i uT l n' 0y WGe ' c of the Manuka from Wellington, the vessel is running about one day later than schedule time. Bft'e ieft Jlobart on Monday for , she was due' on Wednesday. Biic \ ortpmally timed to leave the New ffthioil Wales port on Thursday, but her £«*«?* ture has been postponed .yjilil noon Tlio Manuka will not, therefore, be due here .until Tuesday next—a day late. M.ONOWAI TAKES NO CARGO. j The Uniou Company advise that the , Monowai. whioh arrived here y/sterday from Lyttelton, and whose departu/o was postponed from, yesterday until 4 o'clock this afternoon owing to her late arrival ; here and the large of cargo to be worked, will take no cargo for luO | northern ports. | OVERSEA FREIGHTS. The reason why oversea freights are high is forcibly illustrated in a letter received by Messrs. Lane and ol Sydney, by the last mall, in connection 1 with the charter and subsequent sale of j the Norwegian steamer Titania. This res- I sel, a cargo-carrier pure and simple, well | known in the Australian trade, was se- 1 cured by Mr. Madrigal, on American, for a long time charter, and he was fortunate to have the option of purohase jai- , £25,000. This option he exercised, arid I resold the .steamer to Norway for £200,000. I In the meantime, he made a very hand- | some profit on the charter* roughly estl- I mated at £100,000. The charterer origin- j ally ' secured the vessel at the rate of 3s. 6d. per ton. lie lost on the first year, but made an enormous turnover , following the outbreak of war. It is inter- , esting to note that while the Titania van originally chartered at 55. 6d. per ton, tho rate for old Japanese boats' delivery in Japan -was reoently 425. fid. per ton, the charterer paying war insurauce.
