fREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Rrcwn
x 90. New York, reports for the week end
ing March llth: There is no apprecj,tble IN
crease in the offerings of tonnage in 4ry of
the various departments, and the market in
consequence retains a firm tone. Large
vessels for long voyage trades continue IN
demand. but owners are Vet reserved in
their olteri g, being encouraged hv the
genera! outlook. The Colonial lines have
secured several additional vessels having
upon the basis of IFS Sd q 1Ss to sydney. and
they are prepared to consider further offers
at similar figures. Case oil SINNERS have
taken two vessels during the W eek, one at
advanced rate of 16 cents to Calcutta April

Philadelphia to Japan, October December
There is no demand for barrel petroleum
tonnage; rates. however. are regarded as
firm upon the present basis of 2s a Is as TO
size of vessel and port. Lumber tonnage to
the River Plate is inquired for, but as shin
~ IS experienced IN securing suitable ves-
sells. Bids are made of $3.50 IA from the
Gulf to Buenos Avres and Rosario, and
S9aS10 from the Provinces From Boston
$40 % was paid to Rosario, and 50 hence to
Buenos Ayres. Brazil and other South
American freights offer moderately, and
though shippers are prepared to meet fun
market rates, vessels are not readily obtain
able. good demand is experienced for
coal and lumber tonnage to the West Indies
but business is kept within narrow limits in
consequence of the small number of suitable
vessels at present available Coal rates to
Porto Rico are higher, $3.50 and p having
been secured from Philadelphia Vessels
for the coasting lumber trade are quite
actively inquired for, but tonnage is scarce
and an advance in rates is generally asked

wick to New York, though no actual bust
ness for this voyage has been done above
