SHANGHAI, 26th April.-(From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-Since writing on the 11th inst. we hear that the London "Conference" agents have de- cided to carry on the existing agreement between them- selves for a further period of twelve months commenc- ing on the 1st May, and the New York "Conference" has also been extended for a similar period from 1st June next. Rates for all **Conference" ports remain unaltered, and we do not anticipate any change for some time to come. For London there is little of in- terest to record, but for New York a much stronger feeling seems to exist, and the last departure obtained her full requirement, while for the next steamer pro- spects are very encouraging. From Hankow.-The Pingsvey is settled to load, but beyond this we can- not find that there is any certainty of another ship proceeding to Hankow for London, and nothing fur- ther is at present known of steamer movements in this direction. Coastwise.-Demand for tonnage from Chinkiang to Whampoa seems to have subsided for the present, and though several "outsiders" have been taken up at two mace, the market closes weak at this quotation. For somewhat distant loading nineteen candareens has been settled, and for Tientsin as much as three mace, net, has been obtained. For London vid Suez.-There has been no increase in en- quiry for tonnage in this direction, and the regular supply of steamers leaving this has proved quite sufficient for the existing demand. Rates of freight are: From Shanghai to London by Conference Lines, tieneral cargo, 40s., waste silk 458; to Northern Con- gnental ports, 42s. 6d., waste silk 458.; to New York
