carry about 1000 tons The vessel is now
anchored in President Roads waiting for

Gently made is that of the sch. Lizzie Carr,

FRE1GHTs The Freight Circular of Brown
& Co., New York, reports for the week end
partment has been about at a stand during
the interval. Inquiries are made by case oil
shippers for neutral tonnage to enter upon
long voyage trades, and though full recent
rates are bid, few vessels of d suitable class
are rendered for either early or forward load
ing. Barrel oil tonnage is in better demand,
and with vessels scarce rather higher rates
are bid. No American owners can be pre-
vailed upon to accept the risk of voyage to
South American or West India ports, and
neutral bottoms are held by the oM ners at
rates far in excess of those previously &C
cepted. Shippers claim inability to meet the
views entertained, hence for the time there
is "stand-off.' Unless concessions are made
by opposing parties soon, the tide OF snip
ments, it is believed, will be turned toward
the despatch by steam. Since our last, ~
cents has been paid for case oil hence to
Buenos Ayres. Lumber tonnage from the
Southern coast ports is in active demand,
but vessels are very difficult to secure, own
ers refusing to go out in ballast for the busl,
ness offered. An occasional vessel bound
home is submitted, and where such is the
case, competition forces the payment OF
materially higher rates, the latest instance
being SIS from Fernandina to New York, and
ST. from Jacksonville. There has been an
active call for GOLFERS to the East and
Provinces, and with only moderate tonnage
offerings, rates have shown steady APP
probation. The President has been en-
powered by Congress to prohibit the ship
ment Of coal to all foreign ports, and in
there has developed an active demand.
from Provincial dealers. Pro-
vincial freights to the States have improved
considerably of late, hence owners East are
rather Indifferent to the business that now
offers for short foreign voyages.
