TONNAGE.
HONGKONG, 27th March.--During the past fort night our freight market has again continued active and a very fair number of settlements is on record, principally, as in last report, from Saigon to Hong. kong.. :
For this voyage there is a fairly strong demand and rates may be quoted as 19 cents for large carriers and 22/23 cents for small boats. From Saigon to Amoy two fixtures are reported at good rates and there is a further demand at 28 cents. To Sourabaya 28 cents is the best offer obtainable at present.
From Bangkok to Hongkong 22 cents has been paid for loading, all outside the bar, but the demand has fallen off and rates close weak at 20/25 cents.
