The passenger steamer Mausia,| an`addition to the fleat of the) British India Navigation Com [Ltd., will arrive at Hongkong an her maiden voyage carly on Fri- day morning from London, in the service of the P. & O. it was |stated this morning.

The Maosla is one of the vary commodious and useful group of twelve 8,000 tons ships, all of similar type, especially construct- edforthe British India Company's Bombay-London. trade..

The second dining saloon, at the after end of the bridge deck, is com- fortably and conveniently ap pointed, and above it are tha se cond music and smoking saloons. The stowards' depart ment possesses, among other up- to-date equipment, an enclosed passage between pantries and gallery connecting the two, thus excluding the odours of cooking from the passenger accommoda- tion. The Manela is, of course, fitted with wireless telegraphy.

Freight to Europe Improves.

A decided improvement in the amount of freight offering on the outward berth at Hongkong and ather Chinese and Japanese poris for Europe has been noticed during the last month, & DIO- minent shipping man informed itbe Telegraph this morning. Whether this brighter state of affairs will last for any length of cirme is a questionable point, but fair business in the coming months is generally expected.

One factor that has done mach to create bigger cargoes for the regularlines to the United Kingdom and the Continent is the shortage of tramp too- naze. In normal times this class of bottom is a big competitor with established lines and very often is able to undercut the Conference rates of freight. Just now the tramp steamers are badly hit by the general scarcity of cargoes and the high overhead expenses of operation and many of them have found it to be more profit able to tie up and await the com ing of better times.
