From Bengkok to Hongkong there is no enquiry. From Java to this propt tonnage is wanted and a realy steamer could obtain 15 cents per picul. From New- chwang to Canton there have feen several settle- ments at from 19 to 21 cents, the last fixture having Leen made at the latter ligne, and requirements for immediate tommage appear to be satisfied. Japan coal freights show a decline. Moji to Hongkong, ion- nage has been fixed at $1.3 1, at which figure steiners are now oicted. From Kuchinotzu to Singapore one settlement is reported at $1.75, but further ton- nage is not wanted. Sailing tonnage.-For New York some lainess has been elected during the period under review, but rates at present are with- held.
