BANKS.-Hongkong and Shanghais ruled neglected in the early part of the week with small sales at 183 per cent, prem.; towards the end, however, an advance in the London rate of El per share (£42 10s.) gave the stock a fillip and a demand at 184 meeting with little or no response, buyers had to offer 185, at which rate a few shares changed hands; market closes with further buyers and no sellers at that rate. Nationals have improved to $27, with small sales. Bank of Chinas, &c., continue neglected.
MARINE INSURANCES.-Unions after further sales at $180 have changed hands at $185, but sellers at that rate rule the market. China Traders have continued neglected but close in better favour at $783. North Chinas have jumped to Tls. 220, and Yangtszes to $123, with small sales between $207 and $109 respec- tively and those rates. Cantons have been gotiated at $180, and close in demand at that Straits after further sales at $24 and $24 ure in demand at $244.

SHANGHAI, 20th September.-(From Mr. Geo. W. Noel's report-There has been a brisk de- mand throughout the week for all classes of goods at advancing prices, the transactions in both Cottons and Woollens from stock, and for near arrival, being very extensive, but it is difficult to estimate the total quantity. The Tientsin dealers, who have held off the market for the past two or three months. were forced to come in at

REFINERIES-A steady demand, chiefly from compared with similar cloth from the Manchester Shanghai and Japan, has resulted in sales of looms, which will have to be substituted for them China Sugars at $105, $106, $107, $109, and before long.

te, hokters are able to command more satisfac- tory prices than liave been obtainable before this year. The only other markets that show anything fike activity are Newchwang and Ningpo, ship. ments to the former this week being on a much freer scale. The Auctions have gone with a good deal of spirit and prices show a further improve- ment, Woollens especially being very firm. The season for these goods is now commencing and a very fair private business has been done this week, both from stock and under indents. The high prices in Manchester are being well maintained, notwithstanding the curtailment of business caused thereby. There have been some forward trans- actions, however, in heavy Shirtings, Drills, Jeans, and fair Whites, even at the enhanced quotations, and the dealers Lave raised their limits for all kinds of fancy goods sufficient to permit of a very fair indent business being done. A further rise has taken place in Indian Yarns, the market clos- ing quiet but firm, fresh supplies being waited for. Japanese Spinnings have followed suit, prices showing a rise of two to three per cent. over pre viank anotations: į-
