Waiting on Saturday, Mesir, Lamke and Rogge ante Last circular was dated 22nd ultimo and, during the period since clapsed, a somewhat quieter tone has pervaded the freight market, the volume of business transacted be- ing smaller, whilst raies of freight in some directions are showing a slight retrograde movement. An actual collapse in freights is, ly expected that the present lull will be of hut however, more than unlikely, it being general short duration, principally attributable to a fall. ing off in the demand from Saigon to this which which may, however, revive at any
moment.
Settlements from Saigon to this have been nil, at least, none are reported locally and the sale stands more or less nominal at 18 cents per picul; but, at the same time, no tonnage could be procurable at this or an even higher figure, steamers finding so far a sufficiently better outlet in other directions. Grain at Saigon has become scarce, owing to inupda tinns in some of the producing districts and ihe new crop is also said to have suffered to some extent, but as to the latter, it is rather carly to say anything definite.
From Saigon to a Philippine port, business has been done at 33 cents per picul, and there is further. though somewhat limited, demand for small size only.
Saigon/lava, a fixture is reported at 30 cents per picul and also in this direction a moderate inquiry continues.
Saigon/Japan, there has been nothing doing
and rates are nominal.
Java to this, a fairly strong inquiry is still prevalent; but it is very difficult to procure tonnage. Rates are unchanged, viz, 37 cents per pical wet and 30 cents per picul dry sugar. The demand from Bangkok to this has re- sulted in another fixture of a fairly large boat quite on the cards that more tonnage will be wanted ere long. It is said that there are still large quantities of grain available for shipment al Bangkok.

A LOST meal was the subject of a case before Mr. Kemp this morning. The evidence ad. duced in the case was to the effect that a few months ago a Chinaman purchased a kitten to fatten up for a feast. Yesterday morning the cat having acquired a weight of 8fbs., the China- man began to prepare for his feast. But to his consternation the piece de resistance was mis sing.

Poor disappointed John wept and guashed his teeth, until the police came and the three intending diners were marched off to the lock-up, and charged with stealing the cat. The latter was produced in Court, and identified by the skin and weight, and the cat-natchers were sent to three weeks' bard labour. The cat weighed 8 bs. and was valued at 80 cents per bi
