FREIGHT.
Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Freight Market Re- port, dated Shanghai 22nd November, 1906, states:-Our homeward freight market is begin- ning to feel the approach of the winter season already, and although the hide and wool seasons are commencing, they do not nearly make up for the tea which is now drawing to a close. Coast- wise.-Although we cannot say that rates have dropped as yet, there are signs of their weakening owing to the near closing of the Northern Porta and the falling of the water in the Yangtazə river, which precludes almost all but the River. boats from going up to Hankow. This is bound to throw some tonnage on the market, and matters being far from brilliant in the south where already several boats have begun to lay up, we are afraid we have to look forward to a very dull time for the next few months.
