FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown &
Co, Ne" York, reports for the week ending March
| Z: The past week has been pr ductive of only
moderate business results, the volume being held
| IN check by the continued light offerings to
mage IN the leading departments. and the unsatis-
factory rates that prevail for the transportation
t of the various staples. Tonnage for ca oil to
| the far East is in demand but negotiations are
pursued rather cautiously, shippers being opposed
to the terms required by owners The latter, how
ever, appear to be favored in their POSITION as
suitable vessels spot and for early loading
tremely scarce. hence with this fact in view there
IS general disposition to insist firmly u3,on the
| III quotations of the market. Long voyage ton
mage Tor general cargo is also inquired for the
several lines being prepared TO engage berth
sells for is month loading; the offerings how
ever, are extremely limited, hence owners in
different to business at any concession from the
rates recently paid. Barrel petroleum freights
continue exceedingly dull. but suitable vessels
Tor the carrying do not increase in number, pre-
! vious rates are steadily adhered to. Tonnage for
| naval stores from primary mar cts is in moder-
ate denano, but there are few spot vessels avail
able. some business is said to be doing abroad
upon the basis of 2S. 4 l2tl.d2s Sd. tor rosin to
Cork f a., and s.. 1-2d.a Is. for spirits, as to
size and class of vessels Vessels are wanted in
the Brazil and River Plate lumber trade, Gulf
| loading, but shippers find it difficult to execute
their orders upon the basis of last fixtures. Ton
mage for the transportation is exceeding scarce,
and where such is available there is hestancy
/ to accept the freight unless at some Improvement
upon the carrying terms. There Is a steady mod
crate inquiry for general cargo tonnage to South
America, West Indies and Windward Islands, and
though vessels are being closed for these several
| destinations tonnage offerings ar by means
liberal owners being opposed to the acceptance
OF present unremunerative rates There is more
inquiry for cOastwiSe lumn tonnage, though no

continues extremely dull
