During the past few months, observes the writer, several of the Union Company’s steamers, which had been placed on the lay-up berth owing to the falling off in trade, have been recommissioned. This is regarded in. shipping circles as a very hopeful sign and the opinion is freely expressed that shipping will be back to normal in a few months time There are still over twenty of the Union Company’s steamers laid up at various New Zealand end Australian ports. Some of these will probably not be recommissioned for some time, but it is . eI " nected that the serviceable cargo-earners will be placed in the various trades as things improve. , - The latest Union steamer to he put ”} f o active service is the Waikouaitl. wli’ch. left Lyttelton on Wednesday evening for Sviiney nnd Newcastle. The Wa'konaitl will in future, trade between Sydney. Bluff, Dunedin, and Lyttelton. She is a most suitable vessel for the service, and has taken the nlaee of the Wanaka.
