SURREY'TO LOAD.' The Sydney ''Shipping List" states that tho• steamer Surrey, which is probably a new vessel, has been fixed to load at New York for Auckland, Wellington, Sydney,, and Melbourne. Amongst her cargo sho will carry 70,000 cases, of oil ..to be landed at the abovo .ports., , . ' '■•'lt is stated that by the end of this year tho Canadian Government will havo 20 ships, -with a total net tonnage 'of 100,000. tons, operating in tne North Atlantic and West. .Indian trade. The voyages made by tho seven steamers already in commission have been very profitable, and tho Government looks hopefully- tcjward October, Is2o, by Which time if iliero be any' abatement in the labour troubles cfinstantly holding up this important industry, it is hoped that it will have completed its .present objective of 300,000 tons. Then seriouB 1 attention will bo given fo another shipping programme of 300,000 tons for tho Pacific trado. ' Canadian builders havo practically abandoned all hope of obtaining orders for ships from Europo, as cost of llabour and other items of pro' duction put them out of competition with the Clyde, Belfast, and the North of Eng. It was etated. last month that the five wooden steamers built to tho. or<ier .of tn* Commonwealth Government had been sold to neutral buyers. The report wa» later confirmed. Tho vessels comprise the : Bollata, Bundarra, Bcthanga, Berringa, and Berriwa. • ' , ■ With a total of 14,300 peteons on board, more than ever cal'ried on any vessel before, tho liner Leviathan arrived at Hoboken (N.Y.) recently after breaking her record for the round trip to Breßt.

On'the two voyages aho carried a total of 28,412 troops. The Leyiathan. was formerly the Hambnrg-Amerika champion 'ship -Yaterland. Sho is tho biggest ship afloat, and is 907 ft. long and 100 ft. in beam, and has a tonnago of 54,282. She is also ono of tho fastest big ■ merchant ships in the world, for her speed is over 24 knots. : ...

Within range of Auckland:-Talune, Marori, Arahura, Koromiko, Loraine, Paloona, Within range of Awanui:—Port Melbourne, Paloona. Within Tango of Awarua,:Matatua.. Kaiapoi.

Captain William Cozens, who was commissioned to take the French barn.ue Colonel de Vilebois Mareuil from Wellington, to San Vrr-noisco in January last, owing to the death of the vessel's commander during the influenza, epidemic, aud at the request of tho owners and crew, continued the trip to Nantes, has reached that port after a passage from finn Francisco of four./aiad a half months, via Oape Horn. . ...

managers say that the. congestion of the ports is responsible for enormous and jncreasing waste of tonnago. As an example, tho time occupied' in the round-voyage from England to New Zealand is . nearly. double that before tho war, though the steaming speed of tho ships lias not declined. Bristol Channel ports aro choked with ships awaiting coal owing to the great decline of tho output in South Wales, where absenteeism alone is responsible for the loss of 4,504,000 tonß in twelve months.
