Of wheat freights during the past week has
been downward, this being due TO decline
In the English wheat market That staple

vile. which arrived Friday afternoon. loads
for Europe or the United Kingdom. The
amount of disengsged tonnage on the way
TO the Sound Is not ~ large - it has been
for some time, while the loading list Is
above the average at this season of the
year. An advance in wheat abroad viii
put the market bacl: In its old position,
but IN the meanwhile. rather than be dis
engaged, owners are accepting the low rates
offered. Iron vessels have OF course the
preference for this class Of cargo. Advices

are steady at rates previously quoted,
and perhaps a trife more frmness IL
shown, owing chiefly to the light offerings
OF suitable tonnage. The strike In Aus
fraiia is still In progress and Is liable 70
cornplicate matters, not only so far a. coal
charters from there are concerned. but also
wheat charters for the same ships after ar
