SHANGHAI, 31th October.(From Mr. Geo. W. Noël's report)-The apathetic manner in which the dealers have treated this market for nearly a mouth past has culminated in an almost entire cessation of business during the interval under review, which no doubt some of the more pru- dishly inclined will attribute to the Race holidays, that have certainly taken up the best part of the business weck. These, however, interfere with the trade much less now than formerly, when the Banks were closed entirely to exchange transace | tions, rendering it impossible, in the altered con- "ditions of the trade, to do anything for the three YARN AND PIECE GOODS :-Bombay Yarn.-95 days for the want of quotations, which are now bales No. 6 at $69 to $69.50, 70 bales No. 8 at available The truth is orders are still being $69 to $70.30. 800 bales No. 10 at $70.50 to beld back from all parts of the country, and, as $79, 535 bales No. 12 at 370.50, to $78.50, 350 the higher cost goods go forward, the dealers are bales No. 16 at $74 to $90, 315 bales No. 20 at finding more and more difficulty in disposing of $86 to $89.50/ Grey Shirtings. 250 pieces 10 16. their heavy holdings, and are consequently little t $3.80.
