A recent edition of ‘'Syren mid Shipping” states that it has been decided to increase the freight rates by conference vessels sailing from Canada to tho United Kingdom by 15 per cent. This is due not only to the high prico of coal, but also to the fact that these vesselowing to the coal trouble at Home new bunker in Canada for the round voyage, and consequently cannot carry so much cargo. It is understood that tho conference ships sailing from United States ports will make a similar increase, but it is not yet known whethev the Canadian Government Merchant Marino boats will come into line and augment their rates.

The Ka rale ara is the third vehicular boat built for the ferries in English yards, the other two being the Koondooloo and KaJang. She is a sister ship to the latter vessel, and' after an overhaul will run in conjunction with tho fleet on the Fort Macquarie-Mileon’s Point service. Tho Karakara came out via tho Suez Canal, Singapore and Torres Strait, and at different stages of tho voyage, was severely tested in heavy weather. She waited 17 days at Aden for the monsoon season to end. and on resuming her voyage was compelled 1o seek shelter under Cape Guardifui. Terrific heat was experienced down the Red Sea, and some excitement was occasioned when u Maltese fireman ■wont mad and j jumped overboard. The Karakara put j back, and picked the man up in an exI hausted condition. He was landed at Aden.
