FREIGHTs- remarked in our last re- k
ort that the market was steadier and =
rmer. To-day nearly all the room in ships D
4 the berth for Liverpool and Havre having
cen filed up, and the number of Unen- P
aged vessels in port having been very
luch reduced by clearances in ballast for
'ensacOla and Cuba, for timber and sugar
argOes, masters raised their pretensions,
nd refused to lay on for Liverpool for
ess than led. We have heard, however, of
o engagement at that rate, except small P
hipment by steamer. It is reported that
fers of SD, and even 7-l6d have been re- ~
used. We noticed some further shipments =
, HaVre at &c, but masters are now asking =
lore. The advance having been caused
y scant supply of tonnage, for even our ~
resent limited offerings of cotton and pro- =
uce will probably require a general re-
isiOn of our quotation, which for the | h
resent, we accordingly omit. d
