FREiGHrs. We learn from the freight circular of
Snow Il Burgess, New York, for the week ending
Aug |, that in shipping circles but little has
red to change the appearance of the general
1relghtlng business. Upon a somewhat lower basis
several vessels have been chartered with Lumber
10 the River Plate, say SO from Portland and SO
from the South. For the latter even a lower rate
has been accepted, say $l4 but upon investigation
we learn that the charters made ut this figure have
been of poor and undesirable vessels, and that
months will elapse before they available for
loading Rates current to West India and other
nearby foreign ports not sufficiently remunel-
alive to induce free acceptance at this season. thus
the business i'll this department is rather limited
there is however,, a hardening tendency. AZ shown
by the occasional improvement which is obtained.
Coastwise Lumber freights firmer, with in in
stances a slight advance secured, vessels appear
less plentiful. Coal and other freights remain quiet
