FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of
Brown Il Co, New York, reports for the
week ending May 9th There is seemingly
less demand for large tonnage in long voy-
age trades Case Oil shippers have Indicated
Willingness to take up few vessels for
Java, Japan and outside China ports, and
Tor such have met previous rates, but to
Shanghai, Hong Kong and Calcutta they
submit lower bids when tonnage is offered
for their consideration. To the latter port
l6 cents has been accepted. The Colonial
lines have considerable tonnage under en-
gagement, therefore there is a lull at present
in that department There has been no
special revival of interest in barrel petroleum
tonnage. Orders said to be very scarce,
but as suitable vessels are not plentiful,
previous rates are maintained. Shippers of
lumber from Gulf ports to the River Plate
commune IN quest of tonnage, and though
indicating Willingness to meet some adj
vance upon previous figures are unable TO
promptly cover their requirements. To
would probably be paid, Provincial ton
mage is also wanted, and somewhat higher
rates are obtainable. Two vessels to load at
Bridgewater and one at Dorchester, secured
$40 SOC Sl1 80 to Buenos Avres and Rosario,
and from St. John 50 509S so 50 was paid.
Brazil freights are quiet, the full rates gen
orally required by owners operating to re-
strict business. Tonnage for the West
Indies, out and home, is quite actively in
quired for, and notwithstanding the good
rates generally bid, vessels offered
sparingy. For lumber tonnage coastwise
there is fair inquiry, and owners are hold
ing out for full recent rates say IS 40G IS 80
from Brunswick to New York. Some that
easier figures are quoted for tie tonnage
from Southern ports, in one instance AZ low
as 10 cents from Brunswick to New York
being accepted; this rate, however, is re-
garded below the actual market. There
IS no Improvement i'll Coal freights to the
East. Tonnage is quite plentiful, and with
orders rather scarce, shippers yet possess the
advantage as to rates.
