Messrs. Wheelock & Co. in their Freight Market Report dated Shanghai, 23rd June, 1904, state-Our Homeward Freight market has shown a little more life since last writing and tes is being' shipped freely to Europe and America by the mail- and regular liners, mostly from Hankow. How. ever, the "
green tea "market only opened quite recently in Shanghai, and until that is in full swing there will not be much to go forward via Suez. Coastwise: We predicted some little time ago that rates would fall as low as last Autumn and this has very nearly come about, seeing that coal charters have been effected at 80.90 per ton from Moji to this, $1.20 to Hong- kong and $1.30 to Singapore; there has been some demand for tonnage from Newchwang since last writing when it was found that the hostilities expected did not break out and several fixtures have taken place at varying rates, the market. closing weak.
From Hankow per Conference Steamers.—To London and Northern Continental ports (via Shanghai):46/- plus River Freight. To Genoa, Marseilles or Havre (via Shanghai):-Tea andṣ- General Cargo 41/6 plus River Fright. To Newż York (overland):- Tea 11 G$ cents per lb. gross - plus River Freight. To New York (via Buez): Tea and General Cargo 35/- per ton. To Shang- hai:-Tea and General Cargo, Taels 1.80 per ton weight or measurement.
