PORT TOWNSEND, June LII Special r.
Owners of wheat tonnage are not inclined
to accept current offers, believing there
will be large demand at better rates when
the new crop commences to move. Iron
ships could obtain f2 Is Sd a f2 Is Cd
orders, as to size, June loading The list
of tonnage bound here is steadily increas-
ing, and by fall an ample supply should
be on the spot. Rumors of extensive
forward chartering are current, but from
such facts as are obtainable, these reports
are exaggerated, both as to number of
ships taken and rates paid, although
beyond question full rates have been
paid up to January cancelling for
large number of ships, and some have
been taken as far ahead as March cancell-
ing. Few vessels are now offering for
foreign lumber business, as rates are not
attractive to owners, nor is there, on the
other hand, any extensive inquiry at the
recently reduced rates. Coast coal ships
are in light request, at unchanged figures.
Following are the latest charters:
Bark Harvester ZIG tons. now at Port Blake
