SHANGHAI, 22nd May (from Messrs. Noël Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade Report).-Our market is in a state of extreme langour, at least as far as importers are concerned, and it would be difficult to find a similar state of things for very many years past. The experience appears to be quite unanimous, no matter what the class of goods, business in both cargo, on the spot, and to What arrive being practically at a standstill. enquiry there is, and that is infinitesimal, is based on auction prices, and these holders abso- lutely refuse to entertain. There has been, it is true, an advance in exchange but this is, in a way, balanced by the fall in Cotton, so there is no actual change in the position and with an import- ant settling day so close ahead, the fifth day of the fifth moon, it is more than probable that there will be no material change until that is over. As it is the first settlement of any importance since China New Year it is causing a small amount of concern among the smaller class of dealers, and some of the lesser fry may be wiped out.
