The CoAsTw1sE TRADE.-The New York Herald
ofFriday, in the course of some general remarks
upon the shipping interests of that place says:
The Southern trade is generally dull. Some
little Is doing with Washington, but tue Charles
ton, Savannah and New Orleans lines are not doing
much indeed it is suspected that none OF them
are paying, OF if so not much beyond that. Great
competition exists in this coastlng trade, the
steamers sold by the government Immediately
upon the close of the war having been purchased
by various companies, and put on the several lines
running South in anticipation of q speedy settle
ment of the political issues which had distracted
the country and a consequent great demand Tor
Northern products and manufactures. In this
they were disappointed, and now many OF these
7essels lie rotting in dock without employment.
The West India trade, although somewhat hveher,
is not very promising, and nothing like what it has
been. At this season of tie year carSoes OF sugar
are being shipped here, but the importations
there are greater from The United Kingdom than
from the States, such articles as they require being
obtained cheaper from there, notwithstanding the
g. eater distan:e they have to be brought, IN con-
sequence of the reduced cost of their manufacture
in The first place; secondly, the greater cheapness
of fitting out vessels and, thirdly, the lower rate
Of seamen's wages. A sight demand exists for
vessels for Cuba, but it is not equal to last wear.
They were than chartering at from sixty to sixty
i've cents, while this year not more than from nifty
10 ffty-ive cents is being paid. The failure, re-
Gently, of a large sugar house in this city has in
duced great caution in purchasing cargoes. The
trade with Rio Janeiro is also very slack, but little
being shipped there. Freights are about 81 per
bal but very little offers, scarcely any flour
being shipped. The best trade being done with
these ports is in agricultural implements, which
are in moderately lively demand at present, Lum
Der, kerosine oil, lard, rosin and turpentine are
