The Rarawa yesterday brought 201 tons of general cargo, including 53 tons of sugar, 48 tons of cement, 25 tons of manure, and 10 tons of lime. THE CORINNA. * The Union Company has been advised that the Corinna will leave Dunedin tomorrow for New Plymouth via the usual ports. THE ARAHttRA. Gisborrc, Yesterday. The Arahura's cargo is being discharged into lighters. It is considerably damaged by water. It is hoped to get the steamer away cither to Auckland or Wellington for docking this aftcrnoon; The cause of the leak has not yet been ascertained. The vessel is making practically no water whilst stationary. The leak only was serious when the vessel was labouring in a heavy sea, NOTES.

A sensational occurrence happened at the Bluff recently (says the Southland Times) when the Warrimoo, which had just landed 2000 tons of cargo, as she had a heavy list to starboard. The reason was that the hoat was carrying a heavy top cargo, while the bunkers lacked 400 tons of coal, thus causing 'her to lose her equilibrium. Had the hoat been allowed to leave, she would have undoubtedly have met with disaster, and she was tied up to the wharf again. On i the following day the work of unloading part of her enrgo was carried on, but the luck of the company was in the ascendant, and the s.s. Knhika arrived with coal from Greyinouth, and 400 tons were transferred to the Warrimoo, which sailed yesterday for Auckland. Lyttelton Harbor provides an interesting illustration of how the increased tonnage of vessels and the change from sail to steam have reduced the demand for wharfage accommodation, said Mr J. C. Williams at the conference of civil engineers. He remembered tlje days when every bc"th at Lyttelton was occupied, and ships lay double-hanked at Gladstone Pier. Now, although the tonnage handled had increased from 370,000 tons to 2,250,000 tons in 1012, and des-pite-the fact that the wharfage accommodation had been increased by. only about a third, there was less difficulty than there was thirty-five years ago in providing berthage for vessels. The Japanese have inaugurated a direct cargo service between South African ports and Japan, which it is thought will remain a permanent one, and it looks as if japan intends to be a keen competitor for the United -. States for such trade as South Africa offers and which the Orientals can deal with. Three or four firms of high standing in the wholesale trade in South Africa have lately sent agents to Japan with a view of opening lip a connection with the manufacturing houses there. Japan will no doubt be entitled to the most favored treatment on account of her active part in the East us England's Ally. So far this trade, being in embryo, is very much of a cut trade, with a view to larger developments.
