FREIGHTs The Freight circular of Brown &
Co., New York, reports for the week ending Jan
3: There has been no important action in this
department shce the opening of the year, annual
affairs yet engaging the attention of many mer
chants, ard restricting the volume of chartering
operations. The position of the general market,
however, is viewed as quite favorable, there be
ing but few points OF weakness noticeable to- day
in most instances owners counting upon an i'm
provement in gong rates when the season has
further advanced, and interest again revives
Long voyage tonnage. suitable for case oil and
general cargo, continues III limited supply, and
this fact serves to aid in the maintenance of gen
orally steady rates Vessels for spring and sum
mer loading however appear to be offered with
considerable freedom, and upon easy basis
though shippers are seemingly in no haste to
cover the probable requirements of the future, as
few important trades have been completed dur
ing the interval. To South Africa a vessel of
about l 100 tons accepted 23s for grain and gen
eral cargo to Port Natal but for tonnage of med
iun size it is doubtful if less than 24a24s cd
would be accepted Tonnage for barrel petroleum
continues in limited demand here, though several
trades have been completed abroad during the
interval upon the basis If about previous rates.
Naval store freights upon the surface are very
quiet, though we learn that a fair business is be-
ing regularly accomplished through direct nego-
tiationS. There is no improvement in the River
Pate lumber trade, orders being rather scarce at
the moment. Owners, however, not urging
tonnage, the majority yet holding out for $11 SO
(aSl2 from the Gulf to Montevideo and Buenos
Ayres, and $3.50 from the East and Provinces to
Buenos Ayres and Rosario. There is little no
inquiry for tonnage to Brazil and other South
American trades are quiet. Inquiry is noticed
for coal and lumber vessels in the West Indian
trade, and some few are wanted for the return
voyage with sugar. Several charters have been
made during the week for sugar from San Do
mingo to New York at 81 80 and port charges.
The coastwse lumber trade continues slow and
unsatisfactory, with current rates yielding very
poor returns. There is no special action in the
line of coal freights to the East but tonnage does
not offer at any concession from previous rates
