FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown,
McGilvery 4 Co., New York, reports for the
week ending Jan. 16: Business in promi-
nent departments has betrayed degree
more of animation this week, and as the
supply of spot tonnage for distant voyages
continues moderate, a somewhat stronger
tone perNades the market. The enquiry for
general cargo and lunber for the River Plate
and Brazil ports, and also for petroleum for
the United Kingdom Continent, Spain etc,
has shown some Improvement, and although
there has been no appreciable improvement
in rates, it can be said that owners and
agents, as a rule, have been nabled to make
slightly better terms than possible
during the two preceding weeks. Case oil
freights for China, Japan and East Indies
remain quiet, but in consideration of the
comparatively small number of suitable in
ward bound vessels, and the general indispo-
Sltlon on the part of owners to accept the
low rates that have recently prevailed, a
stronger feeling obtains, indicated by the
fact that an iron snip was paid the advanced
figure Of n cents hence to Japan, March
loading. For long voyage general cargo ton
mage the enquiry at the moment is light and
rates are therefore largely nominal. There
is d rather better demand for timber ships
from the Gulf and about zoos is obtanable
for sawn and Sos for hewn to the United
Kingdom. Naval store vessels are also want
ed from the South to Cork for orders and to
! the Baltic, at 2s sd a 2s 10 I'D for rosin and
Is a IS I'D for spirits. West India freights
are on the increase, and the outlook for YES
Sci owners is somewhat more encouraging.
With improved condit ons it is reasonably
'tIb'til tiltIF w III Hllltli more 1tlSl-
ness in that department this year than last
with the pr pbability of somewhat better
rates, both outward and homeward. The
coaStwise trades have been subject to little
or no change this week. Southern lumber
freights are firm, on the basis of 10 from the
deep water Atlantic ports. Coal freights
eastward are still inactive at about % n 10
cents to Boston, and as IA good many vessels
are laid up any increase OF orders could
hardly fail to bring an Improvement in rates,
which are extremely low for tins period of
the year. Charters: Ship Robert l.. Bel1-
