Freights are improving, and tonnage in better
demand for India, particularly to Calcutta for
Salt, for which 42s is freely paid without consign-
ment. For China the rates are firm, and several
vessels have been chartered this week at our
quotations. Homewards from the Rice ports
there is a good inquiry for ships at an advance of
5s per ton on former rates ; and 82s 6d is offering
for Teak from Moulmain. From Calcutta and
Bombay the freights are unchanged, and merchants
here are not desirous of taking ships. Timber
freights from Quebec have improved, and ships
are much wanted. To U. S. ports rates this
week have barely been maintained, and rather
lower rates to New York have been accepsed ;
but from the very moderate supply of tonnage on
the way we look for advanced rates to be paid
shortly.

request. Oats without change in s aloe : arrivals to-day
