Bcllective of the general belief that high ocean freight rates are to continue for a long time, irrespective of the possibility of peace this year, is tho charter recently mude for the British steamer Harlan, for use in the trans-Atlantic trade, states an exchange. The vessel has. been taken for a period of two years at a rate of 20s. per month on a dead-weight basis. Tliis Is tho highest rate paid for a two-year charter, and the shipping lino, in binding itself to give this figure, for two yeare, has evidently assured itself of the continued earning capacity of its tonnage over that period. BIG OIL CONTRACT. An arrangement has just been concluded by a number of important British Bhipping interests, including the Ounard, White Star, Atlantic Transport, Dominion, and Leyland Lines, with the Mexican Petroleum Company whereby tho latter has undertaken to 6iiip&»,V all the oil which tho companies may require during the next 25 years. In August last contracts were placed on the Olyde, Tyne, and Tess for the construction of no fewer than JO oiltankers, but.owing to naval requirements, several of the boats are now hcing built in the United States. > .
