Wreck of A Japanese Versel.

A Hakodate dispatch says that the Homanmaru, owned by Mr. Saito Juzo, of Hakodate, struck

the rocks off. Homutsu, Hokkaido, and sunk, on the 25th ultimo at about $. a.m. The crew were rescued. The steamer was fully loaded with sulphur. The cargo was insured for Y10,000- and the hull for Y103,000. It is believed to be hopeless to fattempt to refloat ber.

The Shipping Market.

Tonnage continues scarce, and at present freight rates stand at 500 shillinge for Port Said, and at 1,000 shill ngs for London and Marseilles. says the Japan Chronicle.". Charter rates rise and fall with freight rates, so the charter market is firm, quotations standing at Y37 or Y38 for vessels of large type. As a matter of fact, the Nippomaru, 4,650 tons dead- weight, has been chartered to the Katsuda Ki en Kaisha at 788 for the Port Said and North American Service. For a time the new American trade restrictions threatened the shipping market but the menace was ephemeral in effect. It was realised that even: if a surplus be caused in the tonnage on the American sa› vice consequent upon the restrictions. being carried into effect, it would be needed elsewhere, say, in the South Sea", Indian, and Australian waters, spart from the Alliee demand for tonnage on the Atlantic. In fact, it is expected that the Nippon Yusen Kaisha will require six or seven more vessels for its newly opened. line from Japan, Java, Calcutta, and New York. Moreover, any

are conditional upon Japan offering tonnage. In the circum- stances it is expected that the shipping market will become as ac'ive as ever-if not more active. This belief is being manifested in the ergerness with which shippers are searching for. vessels on the charter markët, while larver capitalists are on the qui vive for the ships now on: the stocks. Further, shipowners. show increased disinclination to part with their vessels. These factors ara combining to send up freight and charter rates.
