FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
< Co, New York, reports for the week end
ing July 80: There is a scarcity of orders for
long voyage tonnage, the requirements Of
case oil shippers to far Eastern destinations,
and the general cargo lines to the Colonies
being no longer of an urgent character. Yes
sells are offered more freely for prompt and
early loading, and tenders being made
by foreign owners of distant tonnage, which
facts influence an easier feeling in the mar
ket regarding rates During the week there
have been charters of wood ships to Cheefoo
with case oil at n cents, and to Shanghai
% IL cents Barrel petroleum rates are not
quotably lower, though in the face of few
orders the market is regarded as weak.
Lumber tonnage from the Provinces to the
River Plate is offered more freely, though
there have been no intimation of lower rates.
The last fixtures We're at SO 80 and Sll. ITO
Buenos Ayres and Rosario. From the Gulf
forward tonnage is quoted S14 q S14.25 to
Buenos Ayres, though it is gen
orally understood that trit1e less would be
accepted upon firm bid. There Is no i'm
provement in the demand for general cargo
tonnage to Brazil or other South American
countries, and with seeking vessels more
plentiful, the tendency of rates is in shippers
favor. West India and Windward freights
are dull. Some few orders are offered at linn
its slightly below last fixtures, but captains
and owners are not prompt to accept the
business, in the face of the weather risks
that are usually incurred at this season.
Coastwise lumber orders are very scarce, and
with considerable competition among own
ers, exceptionally low rates are quoted as
acceptable Golfers to the East have been
in somewhat better demand, though no inn
provement in rates has been secured.
