The shipping Trade.
NEw YORK, September 6th-Although
| there is no perceptible increase in shipments
via Cape Horn, there is much better feeling,
and the prospects are that the long. looked for
improvement is near at hand. That there
will be any great increase in shipments 1t is
not believed, but it is expected that a good,
healthy trade will be done throughout the
fall, in face Of the opposition of the railroads,
who are making every effort to capture the
large shipping, especially of agricultural
goods. The rates of freight are firmer at the
late advance, which is about dollar per ton.
The rates will no doubt be higher, as ton
mage remains very scarce, and the fact that
a ship was chartered to-day would seem to
indicate that higher rates will rule. Suitable
tonnage is in short supply. The ship c. s.

load here. The bark I. Jeffie Southland,
$50 tons, will load at Boston. under the
