'SHANGHAI, 6th November (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-During the last fortnight our races have intervened, but they have had no material effect upon trede, as a fair business has been done, especially for New York, to which port a large quantity of cargo has gone forward and steamers have had in many instances to refuse shippers space, while for London there still remains a scarcity of cargo, and regular liners, except the mails, are not receiving much encouragement. Coasting-As we are nearing the time when the northern ports will close we shall soon have abundant tonnage, so we For cannot predict any improvement in rates. Nagaraki and Shanghai rates remain the same, and a few fixtures have been made at the figure shown below Rates of freight are:-London, by Confer ence Lines, general cargo 355.; waste silk 40s.; tea
