FREIGHT MARKET.
H
In their usual weekly circular Messrs Lamke and Rogge report :—
Sinco issue of last circular, a very large and-fairly lucrative chartering business has once more come to pass, and during the disturbed conditions that exist and are like- ly to continue for some time, neutral ship- ping will further benefit undoubtedly by reason of the withdrawal of competing Ja- panese steamers. The coasting trade in Japan being thrown opon to foreign Steam- era, the shipping companies there are still picking up what suitable tonnage they can get and under the influence of the strong demand prevailing, rates of freight continue to follow an upward tendency. The local market is actually being drained of suitable tonnage and rates for tripwise business in the South, firm as they are already. will no doubt further advance in consequence of the difficulty to meet requirements.
Business from Saigon to this port has again boon transacted on a rather small acale, at only 18/21 cents per picul accord- ing to size, rates which do not compare favourably with paid in other direc-, tions. A somewhat sluggish local rice market is answerable for the stagnation in this branch, but, with the season further. advancing and grain at Saigon arriving in larger quantities, it is expected that prices 493 there will recede sufficiently to render chartering on a larger scale practicable. In the event of any strong demand springing up it will, however, be next to impossible to meet it, unless shippers go in for large. carriers to which they have been rather averse of late years.

There is said to be a plentiful supply of beans at Newcliwang, but it remains to be seen, whether produce can be brought on the way without difficulty, on account of the hostilities.

LONDON LETTER.

LONDON, February 12. The fiscal reform debate, still drag- ging on in the House of Commons, loses much of its interest from the absence of Mr Balfour, who is ill, and Mr Chamberlain, who has been kept away by grief for the death of Mr Powell Williams, and has now left for a holi lay in Egypt. The absence of the protagonists, and the reluctance of any of their colleagues to speak authoritati- vely as their representatives, leads to confusion on the Unionist side. The average member does not know exactly what position to take up. I anticipate majority of 65, but a larger figure hus been mentioned to me.
The first wedding in the Royal family since the King's accession took place on Wednesday in St. George's Chapel, Windsor. when the King gave bis nie, Princess Alice of Albany, to Prines Alexander of Teck, in th pres of three queens, twenty princes and princesses, and titled guests innumerable. White satin with chenille fringe and roses of some limsy silky stuff I think they call it chiffon) is all that a mere man can say of the bride's dress. The day was the anniversary of Queen Victoria's marriage in 1840. The bridegroom had to wait forty minutes for the bride, so doubtless Princess Alien has begun his training

A new magazine appears this morn ing, a sixpenny monthly, the Rapid Review of Review, rival to the
British Reviews, dealing with the magazines only, and lighter and less Stead-fast than the older one. The Mon, the Art, the Science, the Epigrams the Music, the Books and the Plays of the Month make up the furtago of its 112 pages. It is illustrated with por- traits, maps and cartoons, and seems to promise a rich periodical feast for those who are too busy or too lazy to read the magazines for themselves. This week bas seen the collapse of the Daily Paper, which started forty days ago, amid a flourish of trumpets and a shower of pictures and cheques. It did not deserve to live. It was a scissors- and-paste affair, dull and spiritless, except in Mr Stead's own contributions, so that when his health broke down, it broke down also. It will cost some. body something to recoup its thousands of subscribers.

RUSSIA'S NAVAL POSITION DISCUSSED.
LONDON, February 12. Assuming that the ships injured in action cannot be soon repaired, Admiral Stark is left in an almost helpless condition. He has the four battle ships, Petropavlovsk, Sevastopol, Peresvist, and Pobieda; but, individually, these are far inferior to the six ships of Admiral Togo. Two of them have no heavier guns than 10in., their quick-firing armament is comparatively weak, and their protection is inadequate. Moreover, repidity of fire is all on the aide of the Japanese, The Russian Admiral has only one modern cruiser of any real value-the Bayan—and novor wern cruisors more important to him. Those he possessed' titude, and their distribution has long have been used with extraordinary inep- puzzled observers. What is the immediate use of the cruisers at Vladivostok, and why easy prey to the Japanese? were the two vesso's loft at Chemulpo, an
The victors will certainly employ their advantage to the full. They are now in a position to send convoys to Bea, unobserved and unopposed, and they can land men in unexpected places. I have already pointed out that they had two great objects in view, the first to crush the Russian Fleet--an object almost accomplished-and the second to destroy the railway behind Port Arthur. Their attention will now be devoted to the latter purpose, and their advantage in be ing able to despatch troops where they will is, from this point of view, enormous.® Stratagem may certainly be employed to that it has been out by the blowing up of a destroy the line, and it is already rumoured flotilla attacked the Russian ships at bridge, but Military operations are prob
