SHANGHAI, 31st July (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report)-There is a slight improvement to re- port in the amount of cargo going forward both to London and New York since our last circular was issued. For the latter port steamers are not doing badly, considering the absence of tea exports, and prospects in the south seem to be very encouraging. We trust before the issue of our next number we shall be able to advise our friends of the opening of the Pingsuey market, which will put a brighter aspect on things generally. Our coasting trade is almost at a standstill, and it is a relief to hear of an occasional charter, however low the rate of freight may be. There are a great number of steamers dis- engaged, all open to accept any sort of business. Rates of freight are:-London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 858.; waste silk 408.; tea 408.; Northern Continental ports, by Conference Lines, general cargo 378; waste silk 40s; tea 40s.; New York, by Con- ference Lines, general cargo 40s.; tea 40s.; New York vid London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 408; tea 458.; Boston, by Conference Lines, general, cargo 45; tea 50s.; Philadelphia, by Conference Lines, general cargo 458.; tea 50s. Above rates are subject to a deferred return, as per Conference circu- lar; London, by German mail, Shell, and Rickmers' Lines, general cargo 3is. 6d. net; Hamburg, by Ger man mail, Shell, and Rickmers' Lines, general cargo
