The demand for tonnage from Japan to Australia continues, and every available steamer is being pressed into the fcrviee. Tho Nippon I'ubcii Kaielia- have decided to increase the fleet- employed on this scrvico. The advices to bond utate that, three mora big cargo steamers were drafted on tho Australian run, and they will-all arrive during this, month. With tho inclusion of the Yawata Maru, which arrived at Sydney last week, the N.Y.K. will have at ioast four, and poßsibly five, vessels in within the month- Messrs. Oibbs, Bright, and 00. also have .one Japanese steamer discharging. Several other steamers aro coming to their agency from the East. A cablegram' received in Sydney from London Btates that the- Anglo-Australian merchants havd fallen tip the question of demurrage charges due to .the alteration of steamer fixtures. They complain that after fixtures are made, and tonnage allotted and goods sent forward, tho-fix-tures are frroiiehtly cancelled, OMng to the diversion of the Bteamcr to more important duties. . Heavy demurragn is thus incurred- ou goods • awaiting shipment. Hitherto they have had 110 redress. A long trip has just been completed by tho American .barnue Hontauk, which is now. discharging inward freight from Amoricn at Svdwipv (reports «iii Australian cxchango).' The Monta'uU comincnced l'cr voyage as far back as January 6, and on account of one of the crew being taken ill. put into the Barbados to land him. After being cona'derably delayed, the Jfontauk continued her voyage, ultimately arrivinpr fit on June.l 3, thus icinp altogether JSB days on the run. Lcaviwr Melhourne'on -Tun"'2B, the Montauk arrived in Sydney 011 Sunday week, thus making a run of eight days round the coast. ~' \ '
