FREIGHTS-As far rates are concerned the
market has undergone little or no change, but we
do not look for further decline present prices
will barely pay expenses. There is not much in
qury for Coastwise vessels at this port but as some

large orders from New York for building material
improvement in this branch may be looked for Coal
