FREIGHTS. The Freight Circular of Brown & Co.,
New York, for the week ending Dec. l2th reports
as follows: There has been no special activity in
this department during the week under review.
The demand for long voyage tonnage has in CON
siderable measure subsidized, with the result of an
easier tendency to rates, though noticed more
particularly upon distant vessels, say for early
spring loading. Owners of prompt and nearby
vessels holding out for full recent rates, and
as the lines may require tonnage to "till in" an
endeavor is being made to sustain the market
upon its present basis though it is generally
coded that the strength is only temporary in
character. Since our last a steel bark with 40
600 refined petroleum has been closed for
Calcutta, June loading, at the reduced rate of 5
cents iron ship or 100000 cases to Hong
Kong was taken for January-tebruary at 8 cents,
and two ships of 10000 and 80 900 cases to
Shanghai accepted 2l 2-1d22 cents for wood and
iron respectively. Tonnage appears wanted i'll
the South African trade, with charters making
upon the basis of 25s to POS Cd to Port Natal
Prompt tonnage for barrel petroleum Is inquired
for but vessels scarce and business is restrict
ed i'll consequence. Rates, however, do not ap-
preciaby charge. Shippers of Naval Stores from
the South in need Of tonnage, but they appear
unwilling to meet advance in rates Bids
submitted of rs Cd to Is Sd upon rosin to Cork
f. o. prompt loading, and Is A I'd to rs %
distant. The tonnage offerings are limited at
these figures. There is no Improvement i'll the
demand for tonnage to the River Plate, but yes
sells not offered for lumber from the Provinces
