carried before the present financial crisis.
The quantity of cotton shipped, how
ever, Is not as large as usual, though large
amounts xete received direct from SOUTH
ern ports and Immediately transferred
to Liverpool by vessels. The MANAGERS
of few lines, in order to complete their
cargOes, have taken grain at slight
reduction per bushel, but the general
rate for wheat is still 13Gl4c. A few
shippers who had engaged freight
room for to-day's steamers find It i'm
possible to pay the rates demanded, and
the manages Of the principal lines, it is
said, in view of the panic which has
taken place since the contracts were
made, have accommodated them to q
considerable extent. A visit TO the
steamship offices was made to-day, and
the managers were questioned regarding
the effects OF the money stringency on
freights. The following is sy-
nopsis of the information. The
Georgia, which sails for Glasgow
on Wednesday, will have full
cargo:of general merchandise, including
six carloads Of wheat. The ruling rate
charged is l3l@l4d. The officers of this
line say that no perceptibie effect has
been caused by the panic. The officers
of the Hamburg steamers say the mon
etary difficulty has not interfered with
their business; that their docks are full
of freight, and that the Columbia, which
leaves on the second of October, has her
cargo nearly completed. Most of these
contracts were made be'ore the panic,
but the prospect for future busi-
ness is encouraging. The steamer
Egypt sailed for Liverpool to-day with
a full cargo, including nine hundred
bales of cotton from southern ports.
One load Of grain, to fill up, was taken
at 104d. A first-rate cargo is already Sc
cured for the Denmark, which leaves
October lst, and they do not think the
amount of freight to be taken by
future steamers will be diminished.
The cargo Of the steamer Pembroke,
for Wales, which sails October 4th, is
about fully engaged, and will consist
principally of wheat engagements.
Some time ago an officer said that the
shippers might forfeit their engage
ments, but thought the prospect for
good cargoes was quite encouraging.
The Republic, which sailed to-day, car
ried a better cargo than any of the
steamers last week Three hundred
bales of cotton were taken, and the rest
Of the cargo consisted principally OF
provisions and wheat, the latter at four
teen pence per bushel.
WESTERN SHIPPERS.
The manager of the freight depart
ment said he thought western shippers,
rather than submit to loss through COM
mission men, will send grain directly
to Europe and await remiItances. The
Anglia sailed for Glasgow to-day with
a full cargo. One of the agents con-
nected with the freight department said
he thought whatever difficulty had ex-
listed among shippers was nearly over,
as bankers were buying bills of ex-
change. OF course, he said, they are
paying but low rates, yet he supposed
profit. The steamers of the North Ger
man line carry but little grain. A large
lot of tobacco and hardware leaves by
every steamer. Engagements have been
made for October and the company has
refused large quantity of tobacco.
The Weser sailed with full cargo, and
will be followed by the HaUsa and the
Main, each with a good cargo. A few
contracts for wheat to fill up were taken
by the Inman line at ten and a half
pence per bushel. The steamer City
of Montreal sailed to-day with a
full cargo, the greater part of
which was at the rates of last
week. No decrease in shipments of
grain is noticed. The engagements of
most shippers extend to October. The
City of Chester, to sail Saturday, is
nearly full, and the company has freight
ahead to load several vessels. The Gu
nard company has made no reduction
in freight rates, and the Abysinnia had
to day full cargo. Steamer Wyoming
left to-day with full cargo. No reduc-
ton in freight rates.
