SHANGHAI, 14th February.—(From Mr. G. W. Noel's report.)-In the private market business is at an absolute standstill, deliveries of former purchases, however, are going on freely, there being a great improvement in the Hankow demand, but the merchants there are endeavouring to take advantage of the present deadlock in the northern trade and offer very low prices in the case of fresh transactions. The auctions have gone on as usual, and as in this morning's sale no discretion was used with regard to the quantity smashed off, no one was surprised at the smart decline that took place. Of course there is a certain amount of demand locally, and for the River Ports and Ningpo, but the bulk of their requirements have already been anticipated. Japan is still enquiring for Heavy Shirtings of certain chops; they are difficult to get, however, the available stock having been pretty well picked over,
