Some, mailing .-, veseels from American Atlantic -waters to .'Now Zealand are tanint' the long route around the Cape' of Good Hope. The Panama. Canal-route is inucli Bhorter, but it is being avoided on account, apparentlyj of the additional expense it entails. ■ Calms often prevail in tho Gulf of Mexico,-..before,.the. canal is entered from New- York;' and- sailing vees&a then require a good deal Of towing, whicn adds to the- expense. ■'•''' ' ' _ ' "■ - No information ias been received as to the number of vessels that .will couio to New Zealand among- the.,lai'c*' ileet on its-way to Australian waters. An opinion is expressed:that the Dominion's shipping conditions will become normal slowly but' surely, and that with the vessels that- are being provided-the conditions ultimately will be better than those of .pre-war days;
