TONNAGE.
HONGKONG, 18th November.-During the past fortnight there has not been very much demand for tonnage and the position of our freight market has not materially altered. From Saigon to this there is nothing doing and charterers do not appear to ex- pect a revival of business for some time. In Bang- kok also the shipment of rice in this direction is very small and not nearly enough for the regular liners, some of which are laid up there. From Iloilo to this a little business has been transacted, but at very low rates and further tonnage is not wanted at present. From Newchwang to Canton three settle- ments are reported at about 15 cents, and as the port usually closes about the 25th November the season may now be considered finished. Japan coal freights, as anticipated in last report, have advanced and may now be quoted at $1.20 per ton to Hongkong, and $2.10 per ton Singapore. At these figures owners do not show much anxiety to charter and a further advance is not unlikely. In sail freights one settle- ment is reported, but ships do not seem to be much wanted either for New York or San Francisco. For the latter port space can be engaged at a very low rate.
There are two vessels disengaged in port, register- ing 3,623 tons.
The following are the settlements:- Collingrove-British barque, 861 tons, Shanghai and Hongkong to New York, private terms.
