Bark Evanell, which arrived at Brisbane
from New York prior to June Is, reports
that she shipped heavy sea on February II,
seven days after leaving port, which stove
in the after companion hatch and flooded the
cabin.
Capt. Benjamin F. Pillsbury, Gray. Irelan
& Co. and others, of Baltimore, yesterday
purchased from Samuel HI. Walker, of Taun-
ton, Mass, the three-masted schooner A. 3.
Sherman. The vessel arrived Thursday
from Boston, and was Immediately locked
at Woodall's for examination. She was
found sound in every way. The A. B. Sher-
man was built in Boston in 1888 and was
rated Al for thirteen years. She registers
j61 tons net and will carry 600 tons dead
weight. The new purchasers will use the
Sherman in the general coastng trade. Cap
tain Pilsbury will command the vessel. Bal

FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
4 Co., New York, reports for the week end
ing Aug. s: Petroleum freights to Europe
have displayed increased tirmness during
the week, with slightly fuller rates obtained,
rather III consequence of a continued small
supply of handy tonnage than because of a
brisk demand, although the volume of bust
ness shows some little gain. The arrivals
have been a trifle freer, but as part of the in
coming tonnage had been previously COM
mitted, seeking vessels in this and neigllbor
ing ports, not only for Petroleum, but for
other cargo, are comparatively few. The in
ward bound fleet is likewise a small one,
but, unfortunately for owners and agents,
the requirements of shippers are not suttici-
entity urgent to promote such an advance in
rates as would seem to BE- warranted by the
| tonnage situation. Case Oil frei ghtS remain
eNctedl glN quiet and quotations are largely
nominal-an mon ship, to arrive, accepted 10
cents hence to Bombay OF Colombo. Long

dull, and the few fixtures during the week
| for Australia South Africa, ETC., show no
| improvement oNerrecent engagements. Deal
| fret gifts from the provinces to Europe axe
/ scarcely so firm as in the recent past, avail
| able spo1 and nearby tonnage being quite
| equal to the requirements of shippers,
| whilst steamers, owing to the death of other
| business, are sharply competing. Timber
/ treightS from the South to Europe are about
steady, but not active. River Plate and
/ Brazil freights are holding their own, but
| the demand for tonnage is moderate, both
| for general cargo and Lumber, Naval Store
| and Tobacco freights quiet and unchang-
ed. For the West Indies moderate demand
| prevails, and Very full rates are obtanable
4 for handy size vessels, with business re-
stricted by the reluctance of captains to ac-
| cept charters in that direction during the
/ hurricane season, and at period when it is
| difficult to obtain paying homew freghtS.
AS usual during the hot weather captains
! show Il decided preference for Ice, Coal and
other Northern Coast freights, even at the
low rates current in these trades. yellow
