TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 20th November (from Messrs. Whee- lock & Co.'s report.)-Since our last issue on the 6th inst. rates by the Conference liners have remained steady, notwithstanding, the arrival of an outsider offering to take cargo to New York at twenty shillings per ton; this vessel received considerable attention and took her departure, after a stay of a few days, with a very large cargo. It is very evident that there is still a large quantity of "muck and truck”- yet to go forward to America, as the steamer now loading is fully engaged and space is now being booked in the vessel to follow, with the result that she has also received her full complement. For London there is still very little doing, and the out- look does not seem promising. Coasting. Is just as dull as it can be, and little or no prospect of improv- ing. Some of our Norwegian friends have begun to realize the fact that China at present is no use for them, as a good many of the small craft have taken their departure from Japan with coals to Singapore, there we suppose to load for the Continent at the very miserable rate of seven shillings per ton, perhaps lower. Rates of freight are:-London, by Confer- ence Lines, general cargo 35s.; waste silk 40s.; tea 35s.; Northern Continental ports, by Conference Lines, general cargo Sos.; waste silk 40s; tea 358.; New York, by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s.; tea 40s.; New York vid London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s; tea 42s. 6d. optional London; Boston vid New York, by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s.; tea 42s. 6d.; Philadelphia, by Conference Lines, general cargo 403.; tea 423. 6d. Above rates are subject to a deferred return, as per Conference circular. London, by German mail, Shell, and Rick- mers' Lines, general cargo 3's. 6d. net; Hamburg, by German mail, Shell, and Rickmers' Lines, general cargo 31s. 6d. net; New York, by German mail, Shell, and Rickmers' Lines, general cargo 40s. less 10 per cent.; Havre direct, general cargo 32s. 6d. net; Genoa, tallow 32s. 6d.; general cargo 32s. 6d. net; Marseilles, tallow 32s. 6d. ; general cargo 328. 6d. net. 42s. 6d. per ton of 20 cwt. for above three Co.ports.
