CANADA AND NEW ZEALAND

LINE OF CARGO STEAMERS WITHDRAWN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Recently it was anonu.iiied that the Allcv linii of steamers had been withdrawn from the New Zealand-Canadian cargo service owing to the witlidraw.il of Government subsidies. The steamer lnd.ra.wlli. iiv-huli arrived at Auckland this morning, is' the la.-t vessel of the line to be engaged in the trade, w'''"-h censes with her departure from New Zealand, for she has been lixcd to load in this Dominion and Australia for London. The quantity of cargo shipped by the steamer at Vancouver was pretty considerable. For Auckland she has 250,000 feet of Oregon pine and a large quantity of general cargo. wWc -he has 200.000 feet of Oregon pine and general cargo to discharge at Wellington, Lyltelton and Duiicdin. Since the ervice was' inaugurated three years ago the Canadian shipments have always been satisfactory, "out the same can't be said of the exports from New Zealand. In fact, more often than not the steamers were sent, hawk to Vancouver with no cargo at all, although it is only fair to state of late a slight improvement was -noticeable.

The master of the vessel (Captain PiMicr) stated to-day that the antipathy to the service was all on the New Zealand side, and if the Canadians had their way the steamers would still be running. The people in the older Dominion regret that the service has been abandoned. The Canadians did not want to withdraw their subsidy. They were keen on having Pile line maintained, but as the New Zealand Government would not continue its subsidy Canada was reluctantly compelled to withdraw its subsidy also.
