SHANGHAI, 15th August.-(From Mr. G. W Noel's report.)-The back of the summer is broken and the more congenial weather has had the anti- cipated effect on the dealers, who seem to have employed the few weeks' quietness in maturing their plans. The forward buying, mentioned in the last report as having commenced, became more general early in the interval, and favoured by a steady exchange, and not too exacting market in Manchester, one of the largest business ever done here, in the time, has gone through. Al- though the buying has comprised a fair variety of goods, attention has centred chiefly on the 36 and 99 inch Heavy Shirtings, those suitable for the Korean market occupying a prominent position. The enquiry Mas by no means ceased, though prices at home have advanced considerably, and those late with theirs orders find themselves at a disadvantage notwithstanding the better exchange obtainable. Business from stock has been brisk, and consists principally of medium 8.4 Shirtings; towards the close, however, the cheaper classes of American Sheetings have attracted a little atten- tion and some old parcels that have been hanging fire have found buyers. Standard chops are scarce and likely to remain so, shipments being consider ably curtailed, the export from the States, accord- ing to mail advices, being only about two-thirds of the quantity shipped last year. It would seem that this should have a favourable effect on similar Manchester makes, but so far has not done so. Judging by the deliveries here the market in the consuming districts must be in a very satisfactory position, but there is no particulars news from any of our dependencies. There is a good deal of sick ness still prevailing, and two of the Northern Ports have been declared infected, but that is scarcel likely to have any serious affect on trade. The Tientsin men are, indeed, buying in anticipation of further orders, and a few parcels have boen settled for Newchwang also. What with the ra ther free buying that has been going on for this market and the advance in American cotton, owing to reported unfavourable accounts of the growing crop, manufacturers in Manchester, with plenty of orders in hand, have seen fit to raise their prices, for heavy Shirtings especially, which has caused a lull in the buying at the close. Cot ton is now quoted 31d. The crop here, favoured by very suitable weather, is expected to be a very good one and lower prices are assured.
