FREIGHT RATES TO EUROPE.

New York, April S.-A cutting on
through rates of freight from the West to
ports in the United Kingdom and continent
il going on almost uninterruptedly, and
This is owing principally to a large increase
in the number OF freight steamers plying
between this and other portions Of this
country and Europe, and to severe COMPETE
ton between them for cargoes. Provisions
by steam are quoted from this port at Goa to
22s per ton to the United Kingdom, and at
2Ss to sos to the continent. On Tuesday
100. 900 bushels of wheat for Liverpool were
taken at SID per bushel. Through rates on
from the west to Europe are as low -
q to 3s per barrel, and 1Ss Cd to 22s Cd per
ION for flour in sacks. Much eagerness is
displayed to secure cargoes at these prices.
