Saigon/Hongkong.-The_rate in this direction after remaining Hat for at least a week or more after our last report, suddenly revived on the 12th inst., indica- tions ocming into the market at 35 cents, which were quickly followed a day or so later by 38. and 40 cents per pical for more or lom prompt shipment. This is undoubtedly a reflection caused by nows received from Canton to the effect that General Lung "had handed over his seals of office, but although a fixture of a small outsider at 40 cents was arranged Owners are now inclined to stand out for more then this figure. No farther fixtures are reported but shortage of tonnage msy pos- sibly bring about, for the time being, at any rate, a alight advance although it is anticipat ed thas very little business will be arranged until the late Military "Governor" sctually takes his departure and the new official definitely swumes office.

Baigon/Java-We have nothing to add to remarks in our last report beyond that there is still a call for tonnage but oharterers' ideas of rate do not, for the time being, coincide with Owners'.
