SHANGHAI, 19th Decembr.-(From Mr. Gen. W. Noël's report.) That "Sickle jade "-as our old friend Pete Miclean need to call Exchange-debit of working account of $76,162.22. is once more answerable for an almost entire cessation of business in this department of trade not that present rates are at all justified by the price of silver, or the absence of cover in the allege as an excuse; they are apparently being shape of private paper as the lo al Bankers kept down for local purposes quite unconnected with ordinary commercial interests. This the dealers have “ caught on to," so to speak, and are waiting until the Banks have got through with their little by-lay, when no doubt a large business will be done, as, although the Man- chester market is noninally very strong, firm offers in band nake a large difference and orders are executed in a most unexpected manner. The only transaction of any importance in spot goods is the completion of the sale of English Drills that had been pending for the last week or two, some concession being given in the price in con-heading. sid, ration of the money being paid this month. Otherwise both sales from stock and to arrive have been unusually scarce, ut clearances are going on satisfactorily, though the bulk of the goods are only changing godowns. There is no very appreciable change in auction prices to note, the tendency in the case of cottons being slightly in favour of the buyers if anything, but woollens were generally firmer.

HONGKONG. 24th December. We lave uo- thing of any importance to report. The market has ruled quiet since date of our last, but not withstanding the unsettled state of the political outlook rates have only in a fow instances de. clined, and in these not to any material extent. Speculation has been rife auul rumours current as to the probable dividends that will be paid by several of our local Companies for the half year ending 31st inst. We have the best grounds for stating that not only has nothing. been decided upon, but that the subject has not even been discussed by the various directoratęs“
BANKS. On receipt of disquieting political news affecting the relations between Great Britain and the United States Hongkong and Shanghais have ruled weak and a sale was effected at 180 per cent, prem. for cash. At time of writing, however, with better news, the market closes firmer with probable buyers at the rate.
