The Invercargill, which sailed last meht for Wanganui, will probably proceed from there direct to Lyttelton. •Tho Blenheim is due back from tlio Sounds on F.riday and will aail the same day for Wariganul. Work on the Lyttelton waterfront was brisk last week, especially on Wednesday, when seven vessels were dispatched, carrying away between, them about 2oOOHinsot cargo, thus relieving the congestion in the railway, yard and souio of the sheds, lor the most part tho tonnage, wlnoli consisted of produce and eh a IT, destiued for Auckland..' , News from New York 6tates_ that drastic measures adopted by the Britißh Government havo produced improvement in tho Trans-Atlantic shipping situation. Great Britain has practically concentrated all ocean-going Shipping for service in carrying supplies from the United states to tho British, French, and Italian port". This 1b the uffcct of an agreement with tho. United States, which will save 30 per cent, of tho food products. American railroads havo not been able to deliver enough supplies at Atlantic ports to nil cargo spaces of British vessels othcrwiso ready to sail. Grain is beicg rushed east to load vessels. A vessel drawing 331't. and carrying a cargo of 10,000 tons ■ vccc-uuy inado the transit of the Panama Canal. This draugh in 3ft. greater than the maximum advertised as a guide to sluppiug companies, and is aIBO that much in cxcesa of any provious record for tho (ililiara cut. The dredging activities in the canal have been diminished, and do not ueea to interfere with traflic. Two of the largest suction dredges havo been converted into cargo boat*, and others are owng used in tho reclamation of swamp lan" required for special purposes. This reclamation work has created much valuable land adjacent to Panama and Colon. Tho Eccord for tiino required for transit of tho Panama Canal was lowered from the previous time of shr. 45mm. to 4hi. 13min. on December 1, 1?17>, by a ship making tho transit northbound, and rn the following day .vas aganr lowered to 4hr. lOmin. by a vessel going south. • It is stated that a record never before .equalled has hce;i established by' 11,0 Moore Shipbuilding Company, who »»»»ched within 20 minutes of each other three 9400-ton ocean freighters at an American port last, month. ' ... , The King has conferred tho . Albert Medal on Mr. Alfred W. Newman, mate, U.K., for his prompt and gallant action in saving the after one of lI.M. ships aud tho loss of many lives. An alarm of lire was given, autt Mr. Newman, who w.is on Inc nr'^ 1 ' 1 ' l^.^' • at once went to . Illat ' iu f ""'„.,n',n l i,„ smoke comiiiK from a box of y" opened the lid and passedl the on to the upper :lcck, where they. « thrown overboard. One carlndsie in tho middle of the box was very hot, aud smoke w;»fl issuing from tho end. ■ For eomc weeks a number of .Aineric/in,/ schooner? have been held up in Australian ports, owing to Viteh in the arrangements for.outward l'.adinc. In eA-erj case (says the "Shippim: List 1 Iho trouble has arise;, through the Commonwealth Government refusing to allow the vessels to tako anything but wheat. This is objected to primarily on the ground that certain contracts were entered into for the carriage of copra. Somo of thn vobsolb have been in port two mouths. One vessel has been in Auslraliai. porls sinco last December, mid en far no finality Ims been reached. At Ihe presont time negotiations aro proceeding between tho Imperial, American, and Commonwealth Governments to 'determine what oarga shall
be takan. The owners ire indijuMit at the delay, which iu costing thousands of pounds. If the authorities sny definitely that wheal, must he taken, the mutter will end, but until audi time ub agreement is reached between the Governments concerned, much valuablo tonnage will remain idle. According to a messago from Melbourne, Itear-Admiral Sir William Clarkson, tlio Controller of Shipping, states that, instructions have been received that permits are to he granted only to those vessels suitable for r.at'rying wheat. All tlm vessels held up iii Sydney wero suitable for that purpose, but tho owners would not oonsent to carry wheat. Tlicy wanted to carry copra, which was less vital to tlio Allies than wheat, and the ships would be held up iu Sydney until their owners consented to take wheat.
