TONNAGE.
SHANGHAI, 13th June (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.Our freight market has undergone a change in the shape of a sudden drop in rates to New York. The latter part of last week 32s. 6d. was the loading rate for the next steamer, but upon news being received of the steamer Benmohr (once a regular liner) calling here and willing to make con- tracts at this figure a further drop of 2s. 6d. per toa took place, and as far as we can see there is every probability of a still further reduction Telegraphic advices stating that from the beginning of July a duty of 10 cents per pound would be levied on all tea im- ported into America has rather upset the calculations of exporters of that article, and we shall not see any- where near the quantity go forward as was expected, unless a greater demand sets in. For London there has been no change, up to date there has not been much cargo gone forward, but small lots have come down from Hankow for transhipment. The steamer Oanfa passed Woosung at 1 o'clock on the 10th in- stant with a full cargo at 62s. 6d. per ton, a very fine freight list in these times of competition. Const- ing is extremely dull anti few settlements have been | made, while on the other hand several charters have been cancelled The demand for coal fixtures has considerably fallen off. For. New York via Cape.- The Emily F. Whitney has received telegrams from the proper authorities to enable her to change flag, so there can be now no hesitation about shipping in her as soon as the necessary papers arrive, which will be about the 20th instant.
