SHANGHAI, 19th July.-(From Messrs. Wheelook & Co.'s report.)—here has been no change in home- ward rates by steam during the interval, and our for the present. Pacific rate for tea is still main- quotations as given below may be considend firm tained at 14 cent for the present steamer, with a ten- Tdency to strengthen, and it is quite probable that a higher rate may be asked for the next steamer. A slight discrepancy in the rate for New York by "Shell" line, vid London, has been corrected and in future it will be the current New York rate by Con- turu. In our last issue we omitted to mention, al. ference steamers, less an immediate 10 per cent, re- though it appeared accurately in our quotations, that during the preceding fortnight the rate on tea to New York by Conference steamers vid Suez, had fallen from 50s, to 458., and we now record the fact for possible future reference. An occurrence of importance has been the cessation of throngh rates being granted from outports оп all general cargo, tea alone being allowed this, what future shippers of general cargo from outports will must be to shippers, great convenience, and for the pay their own coast or river freight; bills of lading, however, will still be signed at through rates, if so desired by the shipper. By sail to New York rates have declined to 22/6, but even with this reduction there does not appear to be any large quantity of cargo coming forward, and with the almost super- fluous supply of tonnage now here, it is more than likely that rates will decline further. Rates of freight are:-From Shanghai to London by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s., waste silk 458., ten 558.; Northern Continental ports, general cargo 42s. 6d., waste silk 458., tea 558.; New York, general cargo 50s., tea 45s,; New York vid London, general cargo 50s., tea 55g.; Boston, general cargo 52s. 6d.; Philadelphia, general cargo 60s. Above rates are subject to a deferred re. turn, as per Conference circular. London by Shell Line, general cargo 40s. less 10 per cent.; Hamburg, 38fess 10 per cent.; Havre direct, general cargo 378. 6d. general cargo 35s net; New York, general cargo 508. net; Genoa, tallow 358., general cargo 40s. net; Mar. seilles, tallow 358., general cargo 378, 6d. net. 458. per ton of 20 awt. for above three ports. New York by sail 22/6. Coast rates are:-Chinkiang to Wham- poa, 18 candareens regular lines, ho demand for out- siders; Moji to Shanghai, $1.25 per ton coal; Naga- saki to Shanghai, $1.10 per ton coal.
