In an article discuasing freights after the war, a Norwegian "paper ansumes that, there 'will be a defi'.iency of cargo spato of five million tons,. excluding Epace lost through weai' and tear ;during the war. In'addition to the '.raueport- reuuired for, the. 'service" of•- arniies - before demobilisa. tion. and during demobilisation', there will" bo enormous amounts of goody to be lifted for reconstruction purposes, as well as the cargo intended for civil and industrial use. The removal of thabalTed zones will also release large, quantities of goods. For these reaßonßthe paper estimates that tho amount of world tonnage will be by far inadequate to meet tho demand, so that there is not likely for aome time lo be a reduction in freight rates. -Cable-advice Ims'been received in Christohure.ii that the bari;ue Clcvcdon arrived at Melboi-ne on Sunday last. She left New York in June last, and nut into Oape Town for repairs, and left that port, on November 28. She carries a considerable quantity of cejgo for transhipment to New Zealand ports.
