TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 31st January (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report. Since our last issue there has been no change to record in freights homewards, and the same remark applies to the quantity of cargo offering for shipment, a fair demand existing for steam ton- nage to New York, while for London, matters remain as dull as they possibly can. Coal freights from Japan have reached bed-rock, and it has become a question with available steamers whether they can accept charters now offering without incurring a loss by so doing. Rates of freight are:-From Shanghai to London by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s.; waste silk 458.; tea 50k.; Northern Continental ports, general cargo 42s. 6d.; waste silk 45s; ten 50s; New York, general cargo 30s ; tea 30s.; New York * riá Landon, general cargo 50s; tea 50; Boston. | general cargo 32s. 6d. ; Philadelphia, general cargo 40s.
