FREIGHTS.
83.80 discount,
From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report, dated Shanghai, 2nd January, 1908-Since our last issue the holidays have intervened and busi- ness has been almost entirely suspended, there is consequently very little
for- cargo to go ward an i ateamers must expect but poor sup- port in the near future. Coastwise.-There is very little doing on the coast as is only to be expected at this period of the year, the Northern porta being closed for the winter and very little trade going on between Japan and China. There are a number of steamers seeking employment and we are afraid it will be a case of some of them “laying- up" at any rate until after China New year unless an outlet can be found for them in the South.
From Hankow per Conference Steamers-To London and Northern Continental_ports 45 - par ton of 40 c. ft. plus river freight. To Genoa, Mar- seilles or Havre 45/- per ton of 40 c. ft plus river freight. To New York (via Suez) General Cargo 30/- per ton of 40 c. ft. plus river freight. To New York (via Suez) Tea 37/6 per ton of 40 o. ft. plus river freight. To New York (Overland) per carload Tea G. $1¡ cents per 1 gross; less than carload Tea G. $14 cents per t groes plus river freight. To Shanghai:--Tes and General cargo, Tls. 1.60 to 1.80 per ton, weight or measurement.
