New Steamers for American
Hawaiian Co.** News of the construction of three new steamers for the New Yerk-San Francisco service of the American Hawaiian Steamship Company has been received here, says the San Francisco Chronicle, by Mr. O. W. Cook, local manager for the transportation company from the head office in New York. According to the advices received by Cook, two of the vessels have bean designed exclusively for the Iamber trade, while the third will take the place of the steamship Washingtonian, sank in
collision on. tho Atlantic Coast several days ago. It lie atated that the contract price for the three new vessels in an even $3,000,000 Gold, The one which is to be placed in the service instead of the Washing tonian will be almost an exact duplicate of her predecessor, her specifications calling for but a few changes which will be in the nature of improvements. The contract, calla for the completion of the vessel within ten months, and she will be placed in the New York-San Francisco service as G
general freight carrier. The two other ships have been designed sa lamber carriers and their con etruction has already been con- tracted for by the Maryland Steamship Company, builders of several other vessele of the Amer ican-Hawaiian fleet. Their con- straction will not be rushed as will that of the Washingtonian's successor and it is probable that they will not be completed before the first of next year. Mr. Cook states that the new departara taken by his concern in adding | 20th Apr. at 11 a,m,|lumber carrying vessels to its

Freight Rates, Rates of freight still continue very high, says the London and China Express. A prominent ahipbroker told a correspondent that if a line were drawn from Colombo, through the Straite Settlements, up to Vladivostock, Across to Coronel, thence back to Australia, and finally to Colombo, there would not be found in the whole of that area more than five trampateamers unchartered. Many of the rice and grain charterers from the Eset are clamouring for steamers Within the last few mouths the freights from Esatern loading ports have practically doubled, and this without any thing in the nature of reallystrenu ous demand for steamers,
