Freight.—From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report of 15th September:—Very little cargo for London has been moving since our last issue. The Canton and Tantalus, considering the small amount of business that has passed, left here with fair cargoes and the berth is now occupied by the Laertes, Kaizow and Formosa in the order named, but prospects of their securing much cargo are not brilliant. The coast trade remains in the dull state that we have had for some time to report. and the outlook as the season progresses is far from encouraging. There has been a very brisk demand from Japan to the south with the result that a number of charters have been made will be seen below. Nagasaki to Shanghai,—The trade on this route remains very dull, and no settlements have been made, but we hear some business has been done between Moji and this.
For New York:—The Port Allert after being in port for over three weeks sailed two days ago with but a moderate cargo; the extreme dullness prevailing in all exports has characterised our market, and her detention must be attributed to this cause, The Pathan is now on the berth and her rate having been reduced to 40s. per ton, owing to the overland rate being the equivalent to 45s. which has been the ruling quotation for some time past, there are indications of her getting a fair amount of cargo, She sails next week and will be followed by the Strarhleven. Vid the Cape—The Joka Currier having secured all she requires here clears to-day and culls at Hongkong to fill up; the @. 2. Skoljield is also doing well and leaves about the end of the mouth.

Coal.—From Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s Report of 1th September Jarax.—The market has not yet shown much activity and though prices of all kinds remain firm, the natives still refrain from ope itis possible that they are holding off, anticipating a reduction the grounds that Moji and Nagasaki will soon be able to supply in quantity, but we are afraid they will be disappointed as there is a very large demand for Coal in all the Southern ports, reaching as far as Singapore, as well as a number of shipments to the West Const all these places large quantities are yoing forward and realising more profitable prices, Canptrv.—With large stocks we must make the market weak, AtStKALIAN.—Wollongong.—The deliveries continue on a very small scale, we believe '$7.00 per ton has been offered for the Gulhrie's cargo due to-day but was promptly refused.
