SHANGHAI, 13th Merch (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-We reported in our last that the Conference rate to New York had returned to 40s., and now we have to record the appearance of an opposition steamer Queen Olga, circulated to load at 253. per ton of 40 cubic feet. It seems hardly prob able that she will meet with any support from here, now that the Conference year is drawing to a close, and shippers have more at stake, in the shape of 10 per cent, return on past shipments than the difler- ence of 158. to a ton would compensate them for, in the event of their availing themselves of the lower rate. Should she, however, be supported, Conference shippers will of course receive that consideration which they have always understood would be ex- tended to them in the event of opposition appearing. Coast wise.-The steamers have left for the north, most of them on the 5th instant, and some are ex pected back to-day with what cargo was awaiting shipment For London rử Suez.-We have no in- provement to report, and at the moment the amount of tonnage offering is more than sufficient, viz.: Tan- tahus to sail to-morrow the 14th, Bombay 16th. Rates of freight are:-From Shanghai to London by Con- ference Lines, general cargo 40s.; waste silk 45s; tea 508.; Northern Continental ports, general cargo 42s. 6d.; waste silk 45s.; tea 5k.; New York, general cargo 40s; tea 40s.; New York vi London, general cargo 50s; tea 50s.; Boston, general cargo 42s. 6d.; Philadelphia, general cargo 50s. Above rates are subject to a deferred return, as per Confer ence circular. London by Shell Line, general cargo 40s. less 10 per cent.; Hamburg, general cargo D5.. net; New York, general cargo 50 less 10 per cent. Havre direct, general cargo 37s. 6d. net; Genoa, tallow 35s general cargo 40s, net; Marseilles, tallow 358; general cargo 37s. 6d. net. 45s, per ton of M ewt. for above three ports.
