Captain Haskell loaded with 2,125 tons of

FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
& Co., New York. reports for the week end
ing August 10: The position OF the market
for long voyage vessels does not change in
any important particular. Tonnage is want
ed both for case oil to far Eastern destna-
tions, and general cargo to the Colonies, and
though shippers are prepared to meet what
are regarded as full market rates, owners are
not prompt in the acceptance, hoping to OBJ
tain more remunerative terms later on.
Barrel petroleum tonnage is yet scarce, and
with moderate demand experienced the
market retains a firm tone. Considerable
interest is yet manifested for lumber tonnage
to the River Plate, but vessels are yet offer
ed sparingly. Shippers would pay S13 80 q
S14 from Gulf ports to Buenos Ayres SO so q
$40 80 as to size Of vessel and loading port
from the Provinces, 50 from Boston, and
$3.50 from Portland. Brazil and other South
American freights remain quiet though
rates are we'll sustained in the face of the
limited offerings of tonnage for business in
| that direction. Some few West India and
Windward orders are in market but ship
pers requirements are not readily filled
owing to the hesitancy of owners to accept
tropical freights Coastwise lumber rates
are firm under a fair demand for tonnage
and limited offerings. Golfers to the Ea st
are in good demand, and rates indicate a
hardening tenden Cyl notwithstanding the
tonnage offerings are fair
