THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN.

June 12, 1914.

THE FREIGHT MARKET.

The outward freight market is only moderately active this
week. On the North-East Coast rates show some little ease.
Coasting business is being done at from 3s. to 3s. l|d. to
London from the Tyne, and from 3s. 3d. to 3s. 4Jd. to Ham-
burg. The Baltic is represented by 4s. 9d. to Cronstadt, and
5s. to St. Petersburg, whilst from 5s. 3d. to 5s. 7^d. for
Bordeaux is a typical rate for the Bay. The Mediterranean
is being done at from 7s. to 7s. 4Jd. to Genoa. At South
Wales rates for the Mediterranean are substantially steady,
whilst those for the River Plate are weak. The Bay and
coasting ports are fairly steady. The Humber market is
unchanged. The Clyde is quiet and easy. Homewards,
Black Sea rates are weak, with business exceptionally dull
owing to small arrivals of grain from the interior. Tonnage
is in considerable excess of requirements. The Azof market
has practically collapsed, there being little demand for cargo
carriers. The Eastern enquiry is improved, and the tone is
steadier. Australia is dull and easy. The Mediterranean
and ore trades are unchanged. The Baltic is quiet, but
firm. America is slow, and inclined to weaken.
