SHANGHAI, 29th June.--(From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co. Piece Goods Trade Report).- Pieces Good-Little beyond the usual anctions has to be reported here, the few sales that have' been made privately forming scarcely any cri terion to go on.
The natives have shown no in-
clination to enter into transactions of any magni. tude, it being, apparently, their determination to work off what they have on hand before laying in further supplies. Advices from the Oatports are satisfactory on the whole, but all seem to have ample supplies at the moment. From New chwang there is more encouragement for the future. The last heavy shipments have all been cleared off at not altogether unsatisfactory prices. and confidence is returning, so much so that it is said the merchants there are contemplating a revial of the old credit syste, with some slight modifications, such as haring four instead of three settling days during the season, and this is ex- pected to improve the market. Tientsin is un- changed. Ningpo's wants have been satisfied for the present. Hankow is acting cautiously, for although the River has stopped rising there is still a fear of flool if rain sets in again.
