DUE AT FRISCO. San Francisco, June Is.
There are not many ships due at this port.
The John Mcdonald is hourly looked for,
being 149 days ont from New York, but
either one of the three ships behind her from
the same port may come in ahead, though
now out only 1919, 122 and 10Y days. Next in
order from New York is the big ship Shen-
nandoah, now So days out, Capt. Murphy is
no doubt crowding her for all her sail will
carry, and we look for her arrival Il advance
of the n p. Grace, which left three weeks
before Capt Murphy took his ship from
this port to Havre last fall in 1O9 days The
Alameda is 1862 days from Philadelphia but
was detained nearly three weeks at Monte
video for repairs. The W. w. Grape is 121
days out from the same port, but has suffer-
ed two detentions on the way which cost
her loss of 80 days. so she will not be due
for some time.
FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
& Co., New York, reports for the week end
ing June %: For long voyage general cargo
tonnage the enquiry at the moment is very
light, the various lines being we'll supplied.
1t would be difficult TO obtain better than
is a lis per 40 cubic feet to Sydney and Mel
bourne, 500 per dead weight ton to San
Francisco and about 5Oa Is cents extra to
Oregon and Puget Sound. Deal and Timber
freights are holding their OWL HIS from the
Bay of FundN and 9js q zoos from Pensacola
to West Coast England still being current
quotations. South African freights are
sunably SLOW and about steady. For River
Plate ports there has been an increased
movement this week, but. as will be seen
by the subioined list Of fixtures, rates show
no Improvement. \ steamer from Pensacola
tu Brcnos Ayres accepted ~l4.5o for lumber
The Brazil and West Coast trades continue
dull and rates are Goninally steady Naval
store freghts from the south to Europe are
also quiet and unchanged Small vessels
suitable for the West India and other short
foreign voyages are not over plentiful, and
with very poor return business, they are
.irmly held. yellow pine frtights coastwise
are barely steady from the Atlantic ports,
but firm from the Gulf, with business re-
stricted by the scarcity of outward cargoes,
as we'll as by the depression of the um-
Der market, which is quite accurately re-
hected by current low freights during the
summer solstlce. Coal frtights eastward are
fairly brisk and steady, whilst the high tenn
perature is giving something of an impetus
to ice freights from Maine. Charters: Sch.
