TONNAGE.
HONGKONG, 4th November. The volume of business transacted during the past fortnight has been larger than during the preceding period, but there is not much improvement to report in rates, the large quantity of tonnage available for const business preventing any substantial advance at pre- sent. From Saigon business in all directions is very dull and there is not likely to be any revival in trade for the next month or so. The last rates quoted are, to Hongkong 6 cents, to Singapore 10 cents, and to Sourabaya 17 cents per picul. In Bangkok there appears to be hardly any rice avail- able for shipment and the regular lines cannot find employment for their steamers. From Philippine ports a few settlements are reported at poor rates. From Newchwang to Canton there is not much- doing. For the end of the season tonnage could probably be obtained at 14 cents, but even at this low figure charterers do not show much desire for steamers. Japan coal rates show some advance on previous quotations. For Singapore $1.90 per ton and for Hongkong $1.15 per ton is now obtain- able and it is not improbable that rates may advance still further. In sail freights one settlement for New York is reported, but there does no seem to be much enquiry either for that port or for San Francisco.
GHAI, 30th October.-(From Messra. J. P. Bisset & Co.'s report.)-The week has been char- acterised by a rather meagre business, on account of the absence of buyers, and therefore a sharp some stocks.
