The Haupiri is due from Onehunga tomorrow to load general cargo for Wellington. JAPANESE MARINE. Owing to the activity in shipping circles in Europe last year many foreign vessels which were formerly engaged in the Eastern trade have been recalled, and the result is that Japanese-owned vessels, representing a tonnage of 150,000, were chartered by foreigners in August last year. In consequence, however, of | complications arising out of tlxcsc char- ' ters, the shipowners were put to considerable expense, and in addition many members of the crews suffered considerably from disease in- the semi-tropical countries. Japanese shipowners have now decided not to charter their vessels any more to foreigners. Vessels now under charter to foreign firms do not exceed a tonnage of 260,000.

The United States Consul-General at Sydney reports as follows:—Recently transhipments of merchandise from Sydney to San Francisco have been made in the steamers of the Nippon Yusen Ivaisha, via Yokohama, with transhipments at that port to trans-Pacific connecting Japanese vessels. This is a significant indication of the vigor with which the Japanese are pushing their merchant shipping enterprise in the Pacific. Shippers save approximately sdol. a ton in freight by this mean, although there are direct steamers leaving. Sydney for San Francisco at stated intervals
