TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 7th May (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-The term of the Steamer Conference, as regards New York, has now expired, and it would seem that there is no intention of renewing it, at least on the part of three of the principal companies who have hitherto been parties to it. These three companies have instituted a syndicate amongst themselves, and arranged a fortnightly service. As regards the remaining companies, we cannot at pre- sent express their intentions, but shippers can safely reckon on a regular supply of tonnage. Coastwise:— Our advices from Newchwang point to an enger de mand from Japan for beans now awaiting shipment, which appear to be in a somewhat damaged condi- tion from wet, and enquiries for ready tonnage at 28 cents for Yokohama lave so far not resulted in -obtaining suitable craft. From Japan coal ports rates to this are slightly easier, and tonnage is ob- tainable at our quotations. Vid Pacific:-Telegra- phic news having been received that a duty will be imposed on tea arriving in the United States after 1st July the Pacific rate has been advanced to three cents gold per lb.. For New York vid Cape.-The Clan Mackenzie is intended to sail from here about 28th instant, leaving the berth disengaged, unless something unexpected turns up by then. Rates of freight are:-London, by Conference Lines, general cargo 35s.; waste silk 40s.; tea 35s.; Northern Cob- tinental ports, by Conference Lines, general cargo 35s. waste silk 40s; tea 35s.; New York vid London,
silk 478. 6d.; ten 42s. 6d. Above rates are subject to a deferred return, as per Conference circular. Lon- don, by German mail, Rickmers' and Kingsin Lines, general cargo $is. 6d. net; Hamburg, by German mail, Rickmers' and Kingsin Lines, general cargo 318. 6d. net; New York, by German mail, Rickmers and Kingsin Lines, general cargo 388. 6d. net; Havre direct, general cargo 32s. 6d. net; Genon, tal- low 32s. 6d.; general cargo 32s. 6d. net; Marseilles, tallow 32 6d.; general cargo 32s. 6d. net. 42s. 6d. per ton of 20 cwt. for above three ports by all lines. New York, by sail, 168.; New York by Pacific Lines, 3 gold cents. per lb. tea; New York rid Suez, 22s, 6d. per ton general cargo; Boston vid Buez, 30s. per ton general cargo; Philadelphia vid Suez, 30s. per ton general cargo. Coast rates are:-Moji to Shang- hai $2 per ton coal. Nagasaki to Shanghai $2 per New- ton coal. Newchwang to Kobe 24 cents.
