TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 10th May.-(From Messrs Wheelook & Co.'s report!)- We are now able to confirm what we reported in our last issue about the renewal of the Conterence agreement for both London and New York for another year, and we have also to note a rise in the rates for tea, viz., ten per cent. higher than that of the past season for both the above direc- tions; otherwise rates remain the same. kow.-The tea market opened on the 6th inst., but From Han-
we have not yet learned what rate of freight is to be paid for shipment per Pingsney and as she is the only steamer loading thero for London, she is sure to re- ceive a large cargo. Coastwise.-Rates from Japan to this are again abnormally high, owing to scarcity of tonnage, and as much as $2.60 has been paid, steamers demanding at present $2.75 from Moji to Shanghai, while a proportionately high figure is asked from Nagasaki. Advices from Newchwang report that there is not much export cargo there, owing to produce not being allowed to come forward from the interior, but as soon as-peace is settled there should be a lively demand for steamers Rates of freight are:-From Shanghai to London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s.; waste silk 45s.; teas 55s.; Northern Continental ports, general cargo 42s. 6d. ; waste silk 45s.: New York, general cargo 508.; tea; 558.; Boston, general cargo 52s. 6d.; Philadelphia, general cargo 60s. Above rates are subject to a de ferred return, as por Conference circular, London, by Shell Line, general cargo 40s. less 10 per cent. tea 55s. less 10 per cent.; Hamburg, general cargo 35s. net.; New York, general cargo 4is, net; Phila- delphia, general cargo 50s. net. Havre dircot, general cargo 378. 6d. net; Genoa, tallow 35s., general cargo 40s. net, Marseilles, tallow 35s., general cargo 378. 6dg net. 45s. per ton of 20-cwt., for above three ports. For New York by sail 25s. Coast rates are:-Chinr kiang to Whampoa, 22 candareens regular lines, 16. candaroons for outsiders; Moji to Shanghai, $2.75 pe tou coal; Nagasaki to Shanghai, $2.60 per ton coal.
