SHIPPING.-Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboats have ruled rather weaker during the week, owing to the disaster to the Hankow, the Company's earnings being affected by the with- drawal of the lankow from the Canton run.

Messrs. Wheelock &. Co.'s Freight Report of Oct. 11th, 1906, states-Our Homeward Freight Market has not improved much since last writing, though there is a little more cargo coming forward for shipment; at the same time the tonnage on the various berths is ample for all requirements. Coastwise :-- Things are slightly better on the coast in some directions, but not all. River freights are still in a very bad way owing to the severe competition, but now that a number of tramps" are moving homewards, rates should be improved with autumn demand.

To Genoa, Mar- seilles or Havre 41/6 per ton of 40 e. ft. plus river freight. To New York (via Suez) General Cargo 32/- per ton of 40 c. ft. plus river freight.
