There is likely to be fewer facilities for tile transport of Australian and New Zealand produce in the ensuing season than in 1917 (says the "Australasian"). The rapidly-increasing American forces beius trained for Franco demand the diversion of a largo amount of shipping tonnage to meet America's requirements. It is now several months since tlio wellknown barque Antiopo left Port Chalmers on a long oversea trip, and since that time the old vessel lias covered a wide expanse of ocean.' She arrived at Auckland on April 15 Inst from San Francisco, after a very siiiart passage of 51 days. After discharging her inward freight, the Antiopo loaded a full shipment of flax, tallow, etc., and cleared Auckland on May 22 for San Francis:o. She is therefore 55 days out to-i!ay, and news of her arrival at the Canlil'ornian port should come to hand shortly. The Antiopo, lias been chartered to load again at Sail Francisco for a New Zealand port. ■ Sir. E. Eva, manager of the Commonwealth Line of steamers, stated, recently that the lierriwa, the . third unit of the fleet of ten wooden steamers built for the Commonwealth in tlie United States, was launched on June 27. On' June 15 the Cethana, one of tlio four .wooden motor craft, made her first, trial run. The Eerriwa will leave the Pacific Co.nst shortly with a cargo for Australian ports, and will be followed at the end of the mouth by the second motor shin, Culburni, and the steamer Ballata, the first of the steamers to. bo launched.
