GOING FOR A HOLIDAY.

lBI COSMOS.] GOING FOR A HOLIDAY. THERE was nothing doing on 'Change yesterday. Let's have a holiday. And so 3ay all of us. This is seriously thought of. At the meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce to-day a resolution is to be proposed to shut up 'Change for a week. If the colliers have not gone in by this time, to extend it to a fortnight. It is not at all improbable that this motion will be carried unanimously. It is obviously not much good to toil down to the docks 2very morning in this hot weather if there is nothing to be done. Shijis can- not be loaded without coal, and there is no need for them to come here. Already some of them have been laid up on the mud, and the crews paid off. Even if a cargo can be obtained bunkers are at a fabulous price, iiid with the prevalence of low freights it is impossible to make a voyage pay. On Change yesterday a small parcel of coal fetched 25s per ton. There is a story to the effect that one captain, Rfter failing to obtain a sufficient quantity of patent fuel, filled up with pitwood. Now the latter will not burn unless it be split, for the bark chars and protects the wood. If this story be true it is another example of the ill wind. Pitwood for the last eighteen months has been sold practically at a loss. Nevertheless, I should say that pitwood is bearer than coal at nearly any price. But !f you cannot obtain the latter, it is obvious you must have something. Perhaps this is dodge to cover a breakage into cargo. z, or When they get well to sea it will be dis- covered that pitwood will not burn, and so he captain will be forced to levy on the freight.
