Shanghai Freights.
In their fortnightly report issued June 6. Merare, Wheelock 1& Co. write→→There is nothing to report in our homeward freight market to the United Kingdom; tonnage is as sogros as ever... Via Pacifio Freights are strong on account of the scarcity of tonnage: at the same time it cannot be said that cargo is plentiful on account of the numerous difficulties of importing « into the United States under existing conditions, There are rumours about that the overland railway tariffs for imports from abroad will be abolished, and domestic rates (which were re- cently raised approximately 25 per cent) applied to fmport cargo, « Casstwise The strong tone reported in our last still continues as regards our Northern market, and River steamers are fully employed meeting exceptionally heavy requirements: the Hang- kong market has weakened lafter- ly and there is very little inquiry for rice tonnage at the moment.

Cohn refuted the theory of the commissioner and his 'auditor in basing profits and losses on the original value of the steamers instead of the actual vaine as the shipowners' requested. Due to the present abnormal conditions," said Mr. Cohn, the present value of vessels should prevail and not the original value. T venture to predict that even after the war the theory of actuál value will continue to prevail, the justifiability of it being recognised in every sensible community and governmental authority. Mr. Teodoro branded the incressS, authorised 86 unjustifiable and unreasonable and objected strongly to the. decision of the commissioner granting 75 per cent increase to 11 steamers, 70 per cent to one, 65 per cent to four, and 50 per cent to 15. The decision to this effect," he said was made hastily, without the due investig. ation of the data submitted to the commissioner's auditor by the commissioner The Botuál financial condition of the vessels is such that increases authorised Are unjustifiable" In a rebuttal
