SHANGHAI, 20th February (from Messrs. Wheelock & Co.'s report.)-Since the issue of our last number on the 6th inst., the Native New Year Holidays have intervened, though it cannot be said that they. have interfered, to any appreciable extent, with ship- ping homewards, the existing demand for tonnage being in keeping with the dull state of exports gener ally It will be noticed that there has been no de- parture for London, with the exception of the mails, during the past fortnight, and while this is a very | unusual occurrence, it is particularly so that not a single clearance for any direction appears under our heading "Departures." Coastwise It is expected that Tientsin steamers will resume business about the end of this month, though Newchwang will not be open to trade until about two weeks later. Coal rates from Japan are slightly firmer then our last qu tation, settlements averaging $1.45 during the period under review. For New York nut Cape.- Nothing has as yet been done towards a charter being effected. The Andromeda, just arrived, is, as far as is known locally, at present unemployed, and while there are ships to be obtained in Hongkong, prefer- ence will naturally be given to a vessel in Shanghai, provided that owners' ideas of business are not un- reasonable.
