Freight.—From Messrs, Wheelock and Co.'s report of 27th October:—Since our last issue no change has occurred in the matter of freight, and rates remain steady, both for London and New York; for the former port cargo has only gone forward in moderate quantities, whereas for the latter's considerable business has been done for shipment, both by steam andsuil.

Coal,—From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report of 27th October:—Jarax,—Owing to the advance in rates of freight between this and Nagasaki, very little business has been done except a few transactions in local stock; Akaike coals have been sold as high as $3.25 per ton, Operators are still holding off and it is only when absolutely necessary that they will pay prices asked. It is anticipated by them that on the closing of the Northern ports tonnage will be plentiful and cheap, therefore we may experience some change later on, Canpivr.—Nothing doing, sellers, but no buyers. AvsTnatiax.—Wollongong:—The arrival of the so, Cattethun ha further increased our stock, and there are now fully 4,500 tons unsold, while the amount held by natives is large; a greater portion of this must be cleared before there will be much chance of importers realising on their unsold cargos for some time, and when that time comes we are very much afraid that far higher prices will be asked, but whether they will succeed in forcing the Chinamen to pay remains to be seen, in the meantime we still refrain from prophesying.
