C, April 2 (Spe cial.) The freight rate on sugar was lowered this week on all cargoes from Cuba to Vancouver from 114 to $12, but the importers were asking for a S10 rate; and it was expected that the Peru-Vancouver rate would be lowered to meet the competition from Cuba. The coffee rate also has been re duced to 212 instead of $15, and the market was beginning to show inter est. Flour continued to go across the boundary line to many of the Pacific American , ports. . and several large warehouses - in San Francisco and'dam Seattle were filling with fair-sized stocks. Coast boats were taking these shipments from Vancouver. Increasing the Pacific - European freight rate on flour and wheat sud denly shut off all exports from this port, and during the last weeK rates have been quoted from Vancouver to the United Kingdom all the way rrora 55 to 70 shillings on flour, long ton, and BO to 65 shillings on -wheat, same measure. A 50-shilling rate brought big orders here for shipments to the United Kingdom, but the dream of business soon was over when the rate jumped back again to 60 shil lings. The lumber rate from Vancouver to New York was only 117.50 by boat the thousand, while that of the rail lines was nearly, double. Shingles were 75 cents the 100 pounds and SI. 13 the 100 pounds on rail on the new tariff, but up until Friday they were $1.20 the ,100 pounds. These low prices on lumber and shingles were doing muchto coax' the trade into action, and this week the steamer Katrira Luckenbach booked 5,000,000 shingles here to be loaded on April 12 for Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The rate on these was 75 cents. Freight to Australia was very slack, aggravated to some extent by the continuous strikes in Australia and New Zealand interfering with deliv eries. .' ., HONGKONG, March 31.
