TONNAGE. SHANGHAI, 17th April (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report. Another uninteresting fortnight has passed as regards homeward freights, the attention of shippers being directed principally to the United States, for which destination a considerable quantity of hides and skins has been exported. Coastwise:- We have had enquiries for tonnage to load to New- chwang for Kobe at our quotation, but no vessels are at the moment available. From Japan coal rates are strong, with a corresponding demand for steamers which are difficult to secure. From Wuhu there is lit le doing and rates remain unchanged. For New York tiá Cape.-Since the departure of the McLaurin on the 5th inst., the Sachem has been fixed to load here, and is now ready to receive cargo at 208. per ton of 40 cubic feet. Very little cargo seems to be offering for this direction, engagements far being limited to some 600 tons. She is in- tended to sail at the end of April, possibly sooner, for Hongkong, there to complete her loading. There are fair prospects of another ship being taken up as a suitable one is procurable.
