FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
" Co., New York, reports for the week end
ing Jan. 18th: Vessels for the various trades
are IN very limited supply, hence the tone of
the general market is strong and huOyant.
Long voyage tonnage continues in demand,
but the offerings do not increase to any ap-
preaclable extent. The Australian lines are
in need of additional vessels, and to obtain
the necessary tonnage the managers are
willing to meet lis Sd to Sydney, and 1Ss 81
Melbourne. These rates, however, are not
generally regarded as attractive therefore
foreign owners continue to exhibit feeling
OF reserve. Case oil shippers are in market
1Or tonnage to tar Eastern destinations, and
indicate a Willingness to meet full current
quotations for either early or forward load
ing. There lS, however, Il general hesitancy
manifested by owners in negotiating upon
the present basis the belief being cOntipent-
lN entertained III more remuneratlve rates as
season advances. There IL no change in the
position OF barrel petroleum treights. The
demand for tonnage is very limited, at the
same time su table vessels are scarce. Sew
eral vessels are wanted To load llmher at
Provincial ports for the River Plate and
though a material Improvement upon last
rates cond he obtained owners hesltated at
this period of the season, to consider the
business offered. Tonnage IS also wanted
from the Gulf to the same destination, with
shippers bidding $3.50 to Montevideo f. o ;
vessels, however, are not readily obtainabe
at this rate. Some few Brazil orders are ia
market. Slippers are prepared to meet full
recent rates, but owners seek to secure some
Improvement. Considerable inquiry is vet
noticed for tonnage hence to West Indies
and WlndWard with general cargo and coal,
but vessels seemingly are difficult to secure.
Tonnage is offered quite freely for lumber
from Gulf ports to West Indies, with init.
nations of slightly easier rates of freight,
but orders there scarce. Tonnage is
wanted tor the home voyage with sugar
salt, logwood, etc, but vessels are offered
reservedly at the rates bid by shippers.
Coastwlse lumber freights remain quiet,
out there are no indications of break in
rates, the market being regarded as firm
upon the basis of 1915 from Brunswick to
New York. There is very little doing in the
coal trade to the East, Tonnage, however,
continues scarce, and full recent rates are
maintained.
