THE FREIGHT MARKET.

The shortage of tonnage, especially so far as the north-east
coast is concerned, continues to hamper coal shipments very
seriously. Perhaps, however, by the time the schemes of
the advisory committee of the Newcastle Chamber of Com-
merce—a committee which has rendered yeoman service to
shippers and to commerce generally since the outbreak of
war—have been adopted in their entirety, considerable relief
will have come to the market. These schemes include the
“ exportation ” of men and machinery for cargo discharging
to Rouen, where the congestion is especially great, and the
impressing upon the Admiralty the necessity of employing
some of the interned German and Austrian steamers in the
ordinary work of commerce. At the Tyne rates are,
generally speaking, fully as high as those of a week ago;
in some directions, indeed, they are advanced. Mediter-
ranean figures are about steady at the record level of last
week. North France has advanced to 14s. to Rouen. The
Bay is markedly dearer at 14s. to St. Nazaire. The coast-
ing ports are firmer at from 6s. to 6s. 3d. to London. It is
interesting to note that a 1,200-ton vessel has been fixed
for Copenhagen at 9s. 6d. At South Wales chartering has
been comparatively brisk. Here the Mediterranean is rather
dearer, with Genoa at from 16s. to 16s. 6d. from Cardiff.
From the same port the Bay is tending firmer, with Bor-
deaux at 13| fr. for a fairly large vessel. North France,
too, is very much higher, as might be expected in view of
the detention to tonnage at certain ports. The River Plate
is easier at from 15s. 9d. to 17s., as compared with from
16s. 6d. to 17s. 6d. a week ago. The amount of business
done from other ports is relatively small. The same tale of
firmly held rates is, however, told by all. Homewards, the
North Pacific has paid up to 50s. for a prompt boat for
Rotterdam, but the demand is not keen at that figure. Rice
ports are steady; 35s. has been paid from Kohsichang for
an early new season to home port. Java is quiet, with few
orders current for sugar tonnage. The East Indies are
inactive, so far as general cargo is concerned, but with some
little demand for coal tonnage. The American market for
grain and cotton tonnage is very firm. Lumber rates are

difficult to quote, and other trades are dull. The River
Plate is firm, with 35s. paid, and more now asked for Feb.
up-river loading, whilst 36s. 3d. has been done for Jan.
