With the ample supply of tonnage for both ports, and the limited business doing, agents find a good deal of difficulty in filling the space allotted. The Pingsuey market was opened on the evening of the 10th, but up to the time of writing there have been no very large settlements; nearly all these teas are being forwarded by the overland route, Suez boats being neglected. It was not with much surprise that we noticed the advertisement of the Russian Volunteer Fleet Society having appointed the Russo- Chinese Bank as their agents here; we believe it is their idea to constitute a regular service between Vladivostock and Batoum for Odessa; the steamers will take their departure from the former port about every three weeks, and will make regular calls at this. The pioneer steamer Tamboff arrives to-day and takes a fair quantity of tea, leaving on the 19th inst.; she will probably be followed by the Sarator. Our coasting trade is in a terrible state of depression, charters, we understand, have been made from New- chwang to Kobe at eight cents per picul, and rates have further declined to seven cents, while from Nagasaki to Shanghai seventy-five cents per ton has been accepted. Rates of freight are:-London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 35s.; waste silk 408.; tea 40s.; Northern Continental ports, by Conference Lines, general cargo 355.; waste silk 40s.; tea 40s.; New York, by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s.; tea 408.; New York vid London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 40s; tea 45s.; Boston, by Conference
