Bast India freights homewards are lower, bat there is •
better demand outwards, more espeeislly fur conveyance of
coal. The present inquiry is at 4/. 10r., Calcutta (without
limit as to cargo); 31.75. 6d., Manilla ; 61 65., Moulmein ;
41. 55., Akyab , 31. 65., Bombay ; 41., Madras ; 41. 10s.,
Shanghai (for small clippers). Outwards we quote for
coals from Birkenhead—Singapore, 265.; Gate, 245.;

Hong Kong or Shanghai, 30s. ; Aden, 325.. ; Suez, 66,.
Penang, 245. ; end from the Tyne the rates quoted below.
The West India trade is flat, sod charters are effected
with dignity. The current quotations are—Hsvaanah,
home only, 625. 6d., or 76e. for the round, taking coals free
from Wales; Jamaica, 80s. for the round; Porto Rico,
home only, 671. Bd. to 60s. Cool freights out to the West
Indies improve with the decline in homeward rate*. The
mime remarks apply to Bruit freights, the demand home-
wards being very dull, and the rates outwards advancing in

ormsequenii.
The North American timber trade is exceedingly de-
pressed, presenting • striking contract to last season, when
the rata of freight appeared to be of secondary importance.
The nominal quotations (32.. ed. per load to London from
Quebec) are Ws. per load below these of last seams' and
there is no disposition to charter. The Mediterranean coal
freights furniah employment for many of the timber ships.
There is still active demand for tonnage for coals to the
Meditnr poets, Adriatic, and the seat of war—the
rite, of freight being well maintained, notwithstanding •
liberal supply of shipping, especially Amer ems. We quote
from Wales to Malta, 3244 Rhodes, Mylo, or Syre, 38e. ;
Algien or Tunis, 380.; Constantinople, 40.; TrieeM, 365.,
Hr.
Homeward freights are confined to a few charters from
Alexandria for small vessels, at 6s. to 61. 34. hew ; and
from the Danube at 17s. per qr. wheat, with option of can-
celerities the event of costinaanco ct blockade, or other
political Intelligence.
