The success that has followed the la-1 troduction of the 18,400-ton White Star liner Ceramic in the United Kingdom-South-African-Australian trade, has induced the owners to place orders for two more large vessels to join her in the service. So far but the most meagre news regarding the decision has reached Sydney, but it is stated that the new steamers will be constructed en similar lilies to the Ceramic, but they will be somewhat larger and greater cargo-car-riers. The importance of such a decision as this cannot be over-estimated | (says the Sydney Shipping List), for it clearly shows that, great as the development in the size of vessels trading to Australia during the past few years ' has been, a continuance can he looked for in the future, and very likely even greater strides will be made. So far no news has been received regarding the time of delivery by the builders, but it' is anticipated that at least one of the vessels will be ready about the end of' the year."
