SHANGHAI, 5th March.-(From Mr. Geo. W. Noël's report.) It was hoped at the commence- ment of the interval that exchange had settled back to a steady basis and buyers would have no fause to fear ady rise of importance in the near future. This, however, was not to be and 'lusi. Malwa.-A fair amount of business has been boss is again disturbed by it, although, consider- transacted in this drug during the interval ating the Natives are just in the thick of arranging declining rates. The following are the current for the first shipments to the North, it was scarce. ly likely much attention would be paid at the figures :-
moment to further buying. Their requirements, outside what they have already bought, must be comparatively light, and any attempt to fores goods on them as 9 mc appear inclined to do, can only cause embarrassment and not be con- ducive to the welfare of the tra·le generally, The first steners for Tientsin, as announced last week, were despatched this morning, carry- iug only tice and "chowch w" cargo, those with piece goods and yarn sailing on the morning of the 8th instant The quantity to be taken is not yet definitely settled, being variously estimated up to 35,000 packages, including yarn, which is considerably more than last year of course, but about the average of fariner seasons, like previous years they will arrive to a market that is already opened, and, judging by the quo- tations that have come to band the last day or two, prices are quite up to th se ruling here recently. Busiue s has naturally not been very extensive there owing to the pancity of stock.. and it remains to be seen whether prices wila forwardi the large supplies going American makes as usual form a large proportion of the intended shipments and seem to be at- tracting most attention in that market. advices concerning the markets in Szechuen are not very satisfactory, the rebellion in the North- west having interfered with the trade consider- ably and orders are consequently coluing forward very slowly. Business with Korea ie at a stand- - still at present, though the dealers are looking forward hopefully to a resumption of the trade in the near future. The sales reported this week are few and far between, the extra heavy quan- tities offered at auction having rather a depress- ing ffect on the market for spot cargo, as it is feared they may be continued on that erale, før a time at least. In view of this the dealers are not unnaturally anxious to place as much of their own cargo as possible, and judging by the deliveries they are succeeding fairly well. The Manchester market is easier, quotations for most Cotton 18 also goods being fully 14d. lower.
