From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report, dated Shanghai, October 24th, 1907. There is no change to report in our Homeward Freight market since last writing and cargo is getting scarcer every week, although the wool and hides season just coming on should improve matters somewhat, Coastwise:-Bates have continued to improve since last writing and there is a fair demand for tonnage coastwise in the North and from Japan so that we expect to see rates fairly firm at any rate until the Northern Ports close for the winter,
