HONGKONG, 7th October.-There is very little change to be noted in the position of our freight market during the last fortnight. From Saigon to Hongkong there is no improvement to report, two fixtures only having been made at about 6 cents per picul. From Saigon to Singapore three settlements are published at 10 cents per picul. At Bangkok tonnage does not seem to be wanted and the regular lines are sending their steamers in ballast to Saigon for the poor rates above mentioned. From Java to this steamers are not wanted at present. From Newchwang to Canton five settlements are reported at 10 cents per picul. Requirements for this month's loading appear to be nearly satisfied and rates are not likely to advance much this
season. Japan coal freights are as last reported. Tonnage might be placed Moji to Hongkong at $1 and to Singapore at $1.75. Io sailing tonnage there is very little doing The Paramita has been taken up hence to New York at a rate equal to about 12s. 6d. per ton, but there is not much démand for further tonnage. For San Francisco there is not much enquiry.
There are seven vessels disengaged in port, register ing 10,246 tons.
The following are the settlements:- Paramita-American ship, 1408 tons, Hongkong to New York, gold $8,600.
Ity-American ship, 1,131 tons, Mantung to Sin- gapore and back to Hongkong, Mex. $9,550.
Shaftesbury British steamer 1,215 tons, Moji Hongkong, $1 per ton:
A C.N. Co's steamer, Newchwang to Canton, 16 cents per picul.
Canton British steamer, 1,110tons, Newchwang to Canton, 16 cents per picul.
Kueiyang British steamer, 1,062 tons, Newchwang to Canton, 16 cents per picul
