EREIGIITS The Erpipht Of e
Co., New York. reports for the week ending May
q Tonnage for the transportation of case oil and
shippers, but free negotiations are held in check
by the continued scarcity of large vessels, both
spot and to arrive, and the generally full limits
insisted upon by owners. Ordinarily the recent
advance in rates would tend to influence tonnage
to this market from Europe but coal tonnage has
been IN active demand in England of late for the
Tar East and with tempting offers in the way of
rates, owners there have accepted the business in
preference of sending their vessels to this side in
ballast The market to-day is certainly strong in
tone, with owners possessing decided advantage
Barrel petroleum freights continue quiet, there
being few orders in market Rates continue low,
notwithstanding the light tonnage offerings. In
the line OF naval stores there is little doing. A
bark was closed this week with rosin to the River
Plate at the advanced rates of 50 cents per $50
lbs There has been considerable demand during
the week for lumber tonnage to the River Plate
and Brazil, and a number of fixtures have been
completed. For prompt early loading at the
Cult the full recent advance is sustained but for
late summer ioadn e vessels are offered rather
more literally, and at rates somewhat below the
quotation for an earlier period. There has been
an improved inquiry for general cargo tonnage to
the West Indies and Windward Islands, also South
America, but the advanced season acts as check
to free offerings of vessels and influences a some
| what stonger feeling as regards rates. HOmeward
| freight also offers more abundantly, with hard
| ening tendency TO rates, especially for sugar
| Coastwlse lumber tonnage has received only mod
crate attention during the week, though previous
| quotations are sustained upon generally steady
| basis, the same being regarded as low. Coal
| trelghts are dull, and rates have declined numer
ous vessels being obtanable upon the basis of sc
| cents from loading ports to Boston and vicinity
