HONGKONG, 18th January-During the past fort- night there has been á good demand for steam ̋ton- nage, a large number of fixtures having teen made and rates in all directions continuing firm. From Saigon to Hongkong several fixtures are reported at 11 cents. From Saigon in other directions the demand seems to have fallen off and there is not much enquiry at present. Bangkok to Hongkong, steamers of regular lines at 10/11 cents per picul are getting fair support, but there does not at present teem to be more cargo than they can carry and out- side tonnage is not enquired for. From Java to this there is nothing doing. From the Philippines to Hongkong there is a little demand and tonnage might be fixed at rates in advance of last quotations. Japan coal freights remain about as last quoted. From: Moji to Singapore the rate is now about $2.15 and to Hongkong $120 per ton. Several steamers ve been tákên up on monthly terms, the rates paid generally being low Sailing tonnage. No settleinents are reported. |
