fkEGHrs J he Freight Circular of Brown <
60, New York, reports for the week ending March
20th: Further considerable inquiry has been ex-
per1enced Tor large tonnage i'll long voyage trades
with several additional fixtures reported for Aus
tralla. New Zealand etc. The requirements of
these lines Tor some time are now said to be fairly
we'll covered by recent contracts, hence it is prot
able that falling off in interest will be observed.
Case oil shippers to far Eastern destinations how.
ever, are III need OF additional tonnage Of a SINH
lar class, and with such offered sparingly both
for early and forward loading difficulty has
been experienced i'll sustaining the market upon
the basis OF full recent rates. in fact an advance
has been paid during the interval for a ship to
Japan from Philadelphia July loading. The mar
ket at the close certainly strong in tone
though the stability of the situation depends.
wholly upon the probable requirements of the re-
liners, and the disposition of foreign owners re-
gardlng the acceptance of present rates. Barrel
OIL tonnage continues in limited request, though
quotations of the market show no special varia-
ton. No new features have developed in the line
OF naval store frelghts from the South. For lum-
Der tonnage to the River Plate there continues
dull market. One or two orders are here for Pro
vincial loading, but the bids of $3.50 to Buenos
Ayres or Rosario do not appear attractive to own
ers Shippers limits from the Gulf are $1l .501
$1,000, but tonnage is not readily obtanable at
this range to Montevideo and Bueros Ayres. Ton
mage to Brazil meets with very little attention,
and other South American trades are quiet There
has been an increased demand for tonnage to
West Indies and Windward, and return business
IN the shape of sugar has offered more literally.
Rates, however, do not improve hence the supply
OF available vessels continues of rather limited
character. The coasting lumber trade remains
quiet, due partly to the reluctance of owners to
accept business upon the basis of recent rates
paid. Golfers to Eastern ports in rather
United demand, but vessels are not plentiful, and
this fact serves to sustain the market upon firm
basis.
