FREIGHTs. The freight Circular Of Brown &
Co., New York, reports for the week ending
Nov 16: During the past week no action of con-
sequence has developed in any of the several de-
partments, and owners therefore have been given
no opportunity to force an improvement in going
rates, this too in the face of the generally low
prevailing quotations for the transportation Of
the various staples. Interest in Case Oil ton
mage appears to have subsided for the time, the
leading shippers seemingly having covered their
necessities by the liberal fixtures Of the recent
past. Owners of suitable tonnage are awaiting
the progress Of events, and quote the market
steady upon the basis of last operations. For
Barrel Oil tonnage there continues quiet mar
ket, though with vessels of desirable character
scarce, no special effort is making to urge busi-
ness at the expense of concessions. Some inquiry
IS noticed for vessels of medium size to load gen
eral cargo to distant ports, but the supply Of
such is rather meagre at the moment, those in
control are standing out for full previous quota
tions of the market. Large vessels on the other
hand are offered with some freedom, coupled
with intimations of slightly easier views upon
firm bid; the demand, however, is chiefly for the
former class of tonnage Several Naval Store trades
are said to have been completed recently upon the
basis Of 2sM2s l I'D for Rosin from primary
points to Cork f. bnt owners are now endeavorng
obtain IS Sd for large carries. Rather more in
terest is shown in lumber tonnage to the River
Plate though going rates do not improve. The
quotation hence TO Buenos Ayrcs is So a 6 so,
from the Gulf Sl1, and from Provincial ports
So. so q CTS. Outward freight to South Ameri
ca and West India ports has offered more literally
during the week, but vessel owners are seemingly
unable to exact any Improvement upon the pre-
vailng low rates Backward freights too are
scarce, while rates are low and unsatisfactory.
Coastwise Lumber tonnage has been in limited
request, though quotations Of the market indicate
no special variation. Golfers are in demand and
rates under the influence hardening; vessels
however, appear rather scarce at the moment.
