FREIGHTs The Freight Circular of Brown

quiet market for large tonnage in long
voyage trades. The Colonial lines yet lndl
cate disposition to consider offers of suita
bic vessels, but as requirements are not ur
gent, their bids are usually drawn at the
limit of It's Sd to Sydney, a figure that owners
are not free to entertain. There is only
moderate inquiry for case oil vessels to fal
Eastern destinations. Shippers, however
indicate a Willingness to negotiate upon the
basis of previous fixtures, but tonnage is
rather sparingly submitted. During the
week 24o24 3 cents has been paid fol-
prompt ships (wood) to Hong Kong Barre

There is considerable inquiry for lumber

prOvements, the steam lines monopolizlnl
the bulk of the shipments. There is mod
crate demand from West India sources, me

coal and general cargo hence, and lumber
from the South. Vessels, however, appear

market upon steady basis. There has
been no improvement in the line of coast

ing upon the market, but in the face of this
condition vessels not urged below the
previous rate of So 50 from Brunswick to

somewhat, owing to the subsistence of the
