Nrw YORK, June l0.-Calfornia freights
wa Cape Horn remain very quiet indeed.
The bottom appears to have fallen out of the
market. This is no doubt owing to natural
causes. The past season has been usually q
good one, and shipments hsye been nearly
equal TO former years; but the adoption Of
the new constitution and its consequent ef-
feet on business, together with the prospect |
of q heated political discussion during the |
next three months, has put damper on the |
trade by this route us well as by the shorter
routes. and the prospects are for very dull
Summer. Rates remain stedy, and it is not
likely there will be much change, if any.
Agents. Of course. will at all times get all
they can for freight. At present they are
not getting any more than they pay for their
ships. However, it remains to be seen what
action tie Pacific Mail will take, in case
they open active competition against the Pa
ci6c roads. should they enter the market for
certain.
