SHANGHAI, 28th November.-(From Mr. Geo. W. Noel's report.)-Although a certain amount of business is passing there has not been 80 strong a demand as was expected, considering we are within a week, at the most, of the departures of the last steamers for Tientsin this season. There is plenty of enquiry, but the prices offered are not workable in the majority of cases, and importers, therefore, prefer to take the risk of holding through the winter, and are somewhat encouraged in the entertainment of that view by the anxiety which the dealers are displaying to bay at current rates for delivery after the Native New Year. With the renewed strength of the home market that is advised, and the lower exchange ruling, there is certainly no reason to anticipate that prices here will not greatly im- prove by the time business commences for the Spring, there being very little prospect of a rise in sterling sufficient to make any
material difference to the laid down cost of the goods indented for during the last month or two, which must be, on the average, considerably over the rates now current. The dealers themselves have evidently made up their minds to hold what they have got, importers' godowns being unusually
full for the time of the year. The harbour authorities in the North have intimated that the lightships, etc., at the mouth of the Peiho will be removed about the 1st of December, but steamers will probably continue to be despatched from this up to the 4th or 5th proximo, although they will most likely insert the ice clause in the bills of lading. which of itself is sufficient to deter shippers from sending more than they can possibly help. The market in Tientsin does not display any great activity, sheetings, more espe- cially American, being in most demand. The Korean trade is also on the wane, the last direct steamer from this leaving next week, It is there- fore satisfactory to actice signs of more life in our nearer dependencies, which have to be relied on solely during the winter months; however, there is room for very considérable improvement in the river trade. As regards values there is not much change to report in the market, cottons bring fairly steady at auction, but woollens are decidedly weak.
Metals.(From M. Alex. Bielfeld's report.)- 29th November. The market generally is quiet, but no doubt contracts are being put through privately, and although sales reported are few, transactions of consid rable importance have been effected in Metals, both Old and New, with in the past month or six weeks-details of which those interested will rot publish. Prospects for the spring are fairly hopeful, and the Customs report at the end of 1895 will, I fully expect, confirm this view. Lead.-Quotations remain unchanged for L. and Enthoven. Australian is quoted at T. 5.20. Nailrods.-Nothing fur. ther has been done this week, but 200 tons more Sohiers Exp. were sold last week than reported. Last quotations are Sobier Exp. 108/- c.i.f., Goffin 112/. i.f., and the tendency at home is upward. Stocks are by no theans heavy, and clearances are very satisfactory, 50 cases Copper Sheathing,
'spot,"
have been sold at Tis 24.50. Scrap Material. The market for Spot Cargo of Horse- shoes has dropped, but for other lines continues steady, yet d'alers are a long time in re-ponding to home requirements. Beyond au tion sales as given below, little i ou recor i. Offers at old rices bay been referred back, and it seems likely that natives will have to give way before long.
JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 4th December.The improve- ment in business reported in our last has not been maintained and we have but little of any importance to report. Rates rule. rather weaker and the market closes dull.
