PUBLIC AUCTION,

The ports of Newchwang and 'ientein bave opened since, but, though fair rates have been pald for steamer loading, up, return_freights leave, so far, mach to be desired and canol be quoted better than 23 cents per picul, on basis Newchwang/Swatow. A large amount of prodce isbeing shipped to Japanese ports, but the first pressing demand being filled, prices may become cheaper, rendering business more. feasible for Southern ports. Recent advices from Shanghai are anyhow holding out for batter rates in the near future.

Coal freights from Japan ports have ruled slightly firmer with more demand for tonnage and 31,50 per ton may be called the closing quotation from Moji to this. Coal is, how ever, scarce in Japan, occasioned by trans- portation difficulties, and an increased demand for bunkers and local consumption..

There have been a good mony orders in the market for miscellaneous business, but there is little unemployed tonnage and such vessels as are offering are of an unsuitable size and mostly upfitted for coasting requirements.
