TONNAGE.

HONGKONG, 21st October-Since our last report there has been no material improvement in freights, the number of settlements effected having been small From and rates generally continuing very poor. southern rice ports there is hardly any business doing, Saigon charterers having very little enquiry for tonnage in any direction while at Bangkok several steamers of the regular lines are unable to find employment. From Newchwang to Canton a few fixtures are reported at 16 cents for next month's loading and at this figure further tonnage could be obtained. In Japan coal freights there has been very little doing as, although there are some enquiries, owners do not care for the low rates ruling at pre- sent. From Moji to Singapore, at the slightly advanced rate of $1.85, one fixture is reported and further tonnage might be placed at this rate. To Hongkong $1 per ton is offered and a suitable steamer In sail freights" might possibly obtain a trifle more. nothing fresh has been reported during the past fort- night, either for New York or San Francisco. The British barque Glen Culadh, 486 tous, lately on fire in this harbour, has been sold at auction realising, with all gear, &c., some $7,000.
