TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 2nd May (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)We have no particular improvement to report in the quantity of cargo going homewards from here. London steamers seem to have fared slightly beter, while for New York shippers appar- eatly satisfied their demand for tonnage by the recent departure, very little freight being obtainable for the next vessel. The supply of "Sil" tonnage usual at this time of year has been conspicuous by its absence, there being little or no enquiry for same. Constwise:-Steamers seem to be satisfactorily fixed for some time forward and consequently little de- mand exists. From Hongkong to Japan rates are weak, though a better feeling is anticipated at an early date. From Japan coal rates are strong, $2.25 from Nagasaki having been paid and this we quote from Moji also. For Lond in vid Suez.-Rates have been incre used 5. all round, but in our quotations given below we have only corrected that on tea, other changes not coming int force until the 21st May, For New York rid Pacific.-Rates have again been raised, though there is not much freight offering.
