| FREIGHTS. The Freight Circular of Brown
Il Co, New York, reports for the week end
| ing Jan. ID: The Australian lines appear to
| nave Gnelr l1nu6uldte anu early tonnage re-
| qulrements covered, hence the demand from
that source has in some measure subsidized
Rates, however, are not quotably easier,
| owners in most instances asking the basis of
1Ss 6d919s to Sydney. Case oil shippers
continue in the market for tonnage to far
Eastern destinations, but their wants are
not readily filed owing to the full views
| generally entertained by owners. During
| the week charters have been made to Shang-
hal at q cents, and to Hong Kong "a cents.
There is no change in the condition of the
market for barrel petroleum tonnage. The
demand is limited, but with suitable vessels
| scarce previous rates, say % cd d3s 81 as to
size of vessel and port, are sustained. Ton
mage with lumber for the River Plate con-
tinues in good request, but shippers expert
ence considerable difficulty in covering their
necessities owing to the scarcity of prompt
vessels. The market appears firm upon the
basis of $13 from Gulf to Buenos Ayres.
| S11a II from outside ports in the Provinces,
, $40 Portland, and 50 50 Boston. Brazil and
other south American freights dull.
| West Indian orders submitted quite
| literally and with no increase in the ton
mage offerings, previous rates are firmly sus-
tanned. Coastwise lumber orders are yet
offered sparlngly but there appears no spec
iai urgency upon the part of owners relative
to the placing of tonnage, therefore recent
rates are yet quoted az representing the
market. There has been considerable action
| in Tie frieghrs, with rates ranging 22a25
cents from Brunswick to New York, the in
side representing contracts for continuous
| trips. Coal freights East remain quiet. and
with considerable tonnage seeking business,
| the market is regarded as easy to say at 10
cents New York to Sound ports, and 81 50 to
Boston.
