CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
The Manchester market is very dull, withfa drag|| ging enquiry, and quotations are very low, the large cotton crop in the States no doubt making itself felt. Manufacturers of fancy goods are also in want of orders and are telegraphing for counter offers.

SHANGHAI, 31st January.-(From Mr. G. W.

The few sales made then were purely of a complimentary nature, the dealers waiting to see the result of the Yuen Fong Auction this morning, when the market was properly opened.

The chief enquiry at the moment is for White Shirtings, better prices for which are being offered, the higher reeds at Auction showing a certain amount of strength; the private business done, though, is very trifling, but several resales are said to have been made at slightly over the prices ruling before the holidays. There is no doubt that the markets in the interior are very bare of stocks and are quite prepared to receive supplies, especially in the North, so soon as peace is restored.
