ing is a brief summing of the charter
market. While the wheat market has
been gaining strength. freights have

the fact that number of vessels are
practically laid up. the limit placed
on them by owners; being from two shil-
linRs and sixpence to five shillings
above tho ruling rates. Besides the
firmn0Ss shown in wheat, free arrivals
have operated against sustaining values.
Since the last report the dissngaged list
has increased from 81 ,344 tons to 1888
tons, although some haf-dOzen vessels
have been taken out and added to the
list loading wheat. That list continues
to decrease and now foots up by 1896
tons against 4O,8l4 tons at the date Of
last review. There has been NO trouble
in securing wheat for vessels under en-
& s2ement, and the bulk of tonnage list
cd at present is provided for, while it is
claimed exporters have reserves beyond
that amount. Charters include the
ship Claumfarlane. 1,4OO tons of wheat
