FREIGHT.
From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Beport, dated Shanghai, 5th December, 1907 :-There has been a slight spurt in our Homeward freight market since last writing principally in sesamun seeds to the Continent, brought about by the drop in exchange, otherwise there is not much cargo going forward and the tes season is practically closed. Coastwise —Business is very dull on the coast :—Newchwang has now closed for the winter, and the fall of the water in the Yangtze stops all but river steamers from proceeding to | Hankow and there is consequently a suficiency of tonnage seeking employment with very little demand in any direction.
