Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Freight Market Report dated Shanghai, 1st August, 1907, has the considerable falling-off in the quantity of cargo following:-Since last writing there has been a offering for shipment homewards both to Europe practically finished and tea is "hanging fire" and America. The hides and wool season is now

owing to the prohibitive prices asked by the native dealer. Coastwise:-We have nothing to add to our remarks of a fortnight ago as this enquiries, no coast-cargo moving except for market is still in the same "dead" state, no regular liners, and no coal freights worth speaking of.
