SHANGHAI, 27th December.-(From Mr. G. 700/72 › Noel Piece Goods Trade Report.)—Buying could 700/720
not continue long on the scale that was indulged 700/720
during the previous two weeks and it practically 700;720 20/720 ceased just before the departure of the last Mail, 700/720 leaving Importers free to enjoy the holidays ensto 690 710 mary at this festive season and which have virtually 690 710 monopolised the greater part of the interval. A few 690 710 sales were made at the close of last week, after the 690/710
publication of this report, on about the same lines 600/710 as before, and these, with a few contracts for American makes and the usual auction offerings 690/710 constitute the entire business that has passed. No 690710 doubt the rather abrupt termination of the enquiry was assisted by the drop in Exchange, which, together with the firmer tone of the Manchester market, jorced holders to ask prices that did not quite fall in with the ideas of investors, for the de cline in Cotton Goods at the public sales shows that the current demand does not justify any enhance- ment in values at present. Clearances from private godowns have been freer, but the goods are not going into consumption yet, only into the steamer godowns, to facilitate financial arrangements pro- bably. With the native New Year settling only a month ahead it is not likely there will be much more done until that is over; even now the dealers" are in many cases trying to defer payment till then, but with the present precarious and uncer tain state of affairs prompt, cash should continus to be the order of the day.
