THE SHANGHAI PIECE GOODS MARKETS IN 1579. (Concluded.)
(:C. Herald) Drills-The imports have fully equalled the olearances, large although these have been during 1872. We commenced the year with a stock of 104,007, and wacad ib with a supply of 124,650 pieces, according to theraturas published bythe Chamber of Commerce. The receiptebuvo been 94,000 pieces, against the published re- exports and an estimateri kogal comanmption of 971,000 pieces, not 991,900 se printed in the first part of the present Retrospect. On one or two bccasions the stock bas bean reduced to a small compass, and then prices immediately respond. ed, but manufacturers could not leave well alone. The loos were turned on in their full strength. A fast as the home accumulation were shipped utf, they were placed by low goods, and every bendency towards im- provement here was onecked by "beavy mics
arrive." Notwithstanding these the baoyancy of the trade has been great, and the losses on Drills bave been light in comparison with those on the other descriptions of Grey Cottons. Indeed, we are usomed that even the low rates ruling about the biose of the year hure, in goaie instances, brought ventures out! withiwat loss and hare even paid a small-profit. Our trado wants of the past your have been almost exclusively supplied by Great Britain and Holland. The small stock of American Drills on the 1st January, 1972, was entirely exhausted in April, and it has not wince been ded to. Bus these are culy occasionally heen asked for, hence the inference that the English and Darch textiles are run them aff the market.
