TONNAGE.
HONGKONG, 22nd April.-The volume of business transacted during the past fortnight has been about equal to that during the preceding one, but at the close the demand has some- what weakened.
Saigon to Hongkong there is very little enquiry and not more than 9 cents is obtainable for large boats and 10 cents for small carriers. From Saigon to Amoy there has been some enquiry at about 19 to 20 cents. Bangkok to Hongkong, one small car- rier has been fixed at 114 and 161 cents, but there is little demand.
Newchwang to Canton, one fixture only is reported, at 21 cents, but in consequence of more favourable advices from the north regarding the quantity of produce likely to be available for shipment rates show some sign of hardening. Coal freights.- Japan to Hongkong remain at $1.50; to Singapore about $2 might be obtained. For sailing tonnage hence to New York there is not much enquiry.
