The following are the arrivals for Uio year:— '

"From the United Kingdom direct, 4 steamers with a net tonnage of 21,165; via Nc)v. Zealand coastal pons, 24 steamers with a, net tonnage of 143,930. From intercolonial direct, 127 steamers with a not tonnago of 339,044, and' 5 sailimr vessels with a not tonnage of 1455; via New Zealand coastal ports, 39 steamers with a net tonnage of 136,187.

"Transports, Admiralty vessels, etc., not ' included in the above (being free vessels) from the "United Kingdom direct. 2 steamers with a net tonnage of 4788; via New Zealand coastal ports. 3 cleaniers with a net tonnage of 9672, and 4 hospital ships with a net tonnage of 14,540; Irom British possessions (other than Australian colonies) direct, 1 steamer with a net tonnage of 2634. From New Zealand coastal portr-, 6 steamer with a net tonnage of 21,169; Admiralty. 12 steamers with a net tonnage of (410; from foreign ports via Now Zealand coastal portE, 1 hospital ship- with a net tonnago of 5952. Government vessels from New Zealand coastal ports, 27 with a net tonnago of 9182; sundry vessels, 12 with a net tonnage of 5873, and 1 warship with a displacement of 5040.

These are tho deepest .draughts that have over left a New Zealand port. All the above steamers loaded at tho King's Wharf, that being tho only berthage that could take such a deep draught. "Now that the great war seems to bo drawing to a close I think that the board should prepare for the after-war trade of the port and push on with the construction of the Pipitea Wharf (which will give two good deep-water berths) and the To Aro Wharf and Jervois Quay breast-work-which will also give good berthage. "The services of the board's- pilots were engaged by 42 vessels with a net tonnage of 145,326 from sea to anchorage, and by 25 vessels, with a net tonnage of 107,835 from anchorage .to sea. Five hundred and thirty vessels with a not tonnage of 1921,754 were removed to and from the wharves.
