Tho Transportation Division of tho P United States Department of Commerce , has issued a statement dealing with the world’s, shipping position, from which , tlie following'is extracted:— ? “Conditions throughout the world as ' at July Ist, compared with those a year i ago, were summarised as follows Idle 3 steam shipping was considerably loss, full cargo freights in general were somc- . what lower, shipping in existence was . slightly greater, overseas trade appeared to be about the same in volume, shipi building declined, and there was no ma* f terial change in the sale value of t ships. “The steam shipping laid up in tlx© , principal maritime countries of the world on July Ist, 1926, aggregated about 6 086,000 gross tons, an increase of 241,000 r tons over tho total on January Ist of \ this year. “In the United States tlicro was a reduction of 363,000 tons during the six \ months preceding Jul.v Ist, 1920, but this t fall was more than offset by the rise in tho United Kingdom, which amounted to i 613,000 tons, or more than UK) per cent. “An important development took place t m the employment of privately owned j American shipping during tho past fiscal | year in that nioro than a half-million gross tons of steamers and motor vessels t wore added to tho active sea-going flco.t. i General cargo carrier represented the bulk of the addition, with relatively small increase in pacsengcr ships nnd i tankers. “Tlicro was a decline, however, in the , employment of Government shipping, . which totalled somewhat less than 250,000 , gross tons. Thus tlie net increase in active American shipping on July Ist, , 1926, compared with a year earlier, was . around 250,000 gross tons. , “Full cargo freight rates in genernl declined sharply during tli© first half * of 1926, according to tho index numbers i compiled by the Transportation Division. The first and second quarters of this year witnessed recessions to 94 and * 89 per cent, respectively, of tli© 1911-1918 average, as against 103 and 96 per cent. , in tho corresponding periods of 1925, and against 98 and 99 per cent, ip the third and fourth quarters of that year.” OTAKI~I)UE FRIDAY. Arriving from Liverpool at Auckland i on Thursday evening, tho Now Zealand Shipping Company’s steamer Otaki rei ranined at anchor in the stream until i Friday morning, when sho berthed at tho Queen’s wharf. For her present voyage the vessel commenced loading at Avonmouth on September 6th, and from there went to Glasgow, and Liverpool, completing her cargo, at the last-named port. Departure was taken for New Zealand on September 26th, and, after a moderate weather passage across the Atlantic, the Otaki arrived at Newport News for bunkers. Owing to the 1 large number of steamers waiting to take the coal berth, tho vessel was ordered on to Norfolk, Virginia. Having replenished her bunkers, she resumes her voyage, arriving at Colon on October 17th. Transit through the Panama Canal was obtained on the same day, apd the voyage across the Pacific commenced. Generally fine weather prevailed on the run to Auckland, nothing of an eventful nature occurring. The last Thursday evening, tho New Zealand Otaki will leave Auckland to-day to southern ports to complete discharge and is due at Wellington on Friday. Captain R. L. H.
