FREIGHT.
In their circular of 15th inst., Messrs. Lamke. and Rogge report: The freight market during the past fortnight has again not been charac terised by much activity, only a moderate amount of business having been transacted.
From Saigon to this port the season has opened and some engagements are on record at rates ranging from 13 to 17 cents per picul according to size of stormer for immediate loading. Quite latterly the local rice market has gone down and in consequence, a semer what weaker feeling is perceptible. Closing quotation stends af about 16 cents per picat.
From Saigon to Philippine ports a couple of charters have been effected at 29 and 38 cents respectively. For the time being there appear to be no further inquiry.

You see," Mrs. Hellyer added, "that what I wanted was new blood, for Anemia was the sale cause of my trouble. My friends have told me, and I can quite believe, that ordinary medicine cannot make new blood. But Dr. Williams Pink Pills can, for I know they gave it to me."
Dr. Williams Pink Pilis for Pale People cure many different diseases, because they cure the causes of disease: they make blood. Angmia, Consumption, fits, gaut, heart disease, indiges- tion, kidney disease, locomotor ataxy, paralysis, Theumatism, St. Vitus' dance, and all those miseries which women silently suffer, are cured by them.
