| FREIGHrs. The Freight Circular of Brown &
| Co, New York, reports for the week ending July
| 20; The supply of long voyage tonnage does not
| increase to any appreciate extent, and with a
| continued good demand from shippers of case
petroleum and general cargo the tone of the mar
ket Is firm upon the basis of last paid in the
s s departments: Though no further advance
from current quotations is anticipated in the
future, owners are confident of their ability to
| MAINTAIN the situation in its present form, the
visible supply of tonnage for the next thirty or
sixty days encouraging this belief Vessels suit
| able tor the transportation of barrel petroleum
| continue scarce, hence Notwithstanding the limit
| ed demand there are no indications of an immedi-
| ate break IN rates Some inquiry is experienced
Tor naval store vessels to load at primary points
Tor Europe, but as shippers are yet reluctant to
raise their bids. the offerings of tonnage continue
very light Interest is quite literally extended to
| lumber tonnage to the River Plate, though ship
| pers requirements are almost wholly for Eastern
| loading Medium size vessels vet command SO
| and $40 from the Provinces to Buenos Avres and
| Rosario, but for tonnage of the larger class a
trfe less has been accepted. There is little doing
| momentarily from the Gulf; vessels, however are
| quite freely offered upon the basis of S1225 a
| $500 TO Buenos Ayres. Considerable inquiry is
yet experienced for case oil, lumber and general
cargo tonnage to Brazil, and though shippers are
prepared to negotiate upon the basis of last rates
| paid. vessels are not readily obtainable. Other
| South America and also West India freights con
tlnue very dull, this remark covering both out
ward and home cargoes. Rates are noDlnally I'M
changed. There is no improvement to note in
eoastwise lumber frelghts. Orders are very scarce
and with numerous vessels offering, rates are low
and unsatisfactory. In coal tonnage to the East
ward there is little doing at the moment regard
ing rates there is no special change to report. The
