NEW YEAR-PROSPECTS.
THE CHINA MAIL,
[From Our Own Correspondent.] Just before and during the Chinese New Year the local freight market has been exceedingly dull, to which the number of British, Norwegian and Chinese steamers already laid up in the harbour will testify.
The rates from Saigon to this port and from Bangkok to Hong Kong are far below normal, mont of the ship owners having tried in vain to hold out for 40 cents per picul from Bangkok, or 80 cents from Koh Sih Chang to this port and about 30 cents from Saigon to Hong Kong.
A local ship owner' succeeded in losing two stoamers from Saigon to Hong Kong for approximately 30 cents per picul at the beginning of the month but as a Japanese steamer was closed Immediately afterwards for 21 cents per picul the rice merchants at onca drow back and endeavoured to get all the other steamers to go for the same ridiculously low rate, in which they have not, up to the time of writing succeeded.
What the Chinese new year will bring it a very hard to foretell. There will naturally be a lot of movement in the market, but on account of the large rice crop In Kwangtung and other provinces in South China during the last year, the internal strife in these parts, and also because of Singapore hav ing been a very heavy buyer of rice for the last three months, it can readily be understood that these various factors do not tend to make the prospects of good freight rates coastwise any too promising for the local ship owners, at least for the immediate future.
This is all we can say about the const trade at present, except that no rice has lately been shipped!
