Freight.

Mesere. Wheelock & Co.'s repart for the fortnight ended April 15 states that there is little change to report in the homeward freight market, tonnage remaining very source; there is little likelihood of ateapiers calling at Genca forsome time to come for that reason. The question of the congestion of cargo at Continental and U. K. porta is a very serious one and is likely to remain so for a lorg time. Trade Boross the Pacific is ..brisk and shippers will be stili further bandio.pped for space now, by the accident to the Minnesota, which has just been reported ashore in the faland Sea of Japan. The "boom" in the coasting trado continues and freights are still advancing all round in fact, reports from the South are to the effect that; freights are being obtained there, which have never been beard of before, and still there is not enough tonnego, to supply the demand. The next cargo boats on this berth are sa under Marseilles and London, Yaska Maru [{A} ril 18), Nore (April 22) and Nellore (May 6) Loudon, Carnarvonshire (April 19) and Helenus (April 19); Marseilles and Liverpool, Eumaros (April 27). The. New York via Suez and Panama berth has been rather denuded of ton- nage lately and the Indradeo bas been so delayed that she will not arrive until the end of the mon b'; ehe is, however, expected to rail about May 3 via Saez and will be followed by the Bolton Castle via Panams on May 6, the Inveric via Suez on May 8 and the Tuɛ- can Prizes via Sacz about May 23.

Indigo Shortage.

. Some interesting commente on the indigo position are made in Mesere. Lewit and Peat's report. They state that there ́sevidently a belief among home conenmera that a good apply of synthetic will shortly be forthcoming, and that there will be no difficalty in securing ancient for their re quirements. It is not realised that a long time must elapse before any appreciable quality can be produced, and even when supplier Bro more plentiful they cannot go far towards meeting the general consumption. It is uselees to dis- guise the fact that the supplies of vegetable indigo will be quite in- adequate for trade demands. While the presentsteek in London is 1,307 chests, only a small part of this is available, the greater part having been sold for actual consumption and export, and which must be shortly delivered." All the supplies for the year tre now either being shipped or have already arrived in London, and Hessre, Lewis and Peat foresee a shortage before the new crops con be available. While prices Bro naturally on a high level, they not higher in propar- tion than aniline colours, which have also experienced an import- ant rias.
