TONNAGE.

SHANGHAI, 6th December (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co's report)-Nothing of interest has occurred in our homeward freight market since our last issue, and there is little of interest to report, Leyond the visit of a non-Conference steamer which has called in and taken a small quantity of cargo for New York at a very much lower rate than Conference hers. The Peiho River is expected to close about the 10th inst., so that whatever produce happens to be in Tientsin must come forward at once or not at all. There have been fairly large engagements front the North for New York, but after the departure of the present loading steamer, the amount of cargo to go forward must materially decrease, considering that the ten season is quickly drawing to a close, and that steamers will be dependent almost entirely on odds and ends for the next three or four months.
