Noël, Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade report.)—The steamers have returnel from Tientsin, but the dealers are very reticent concerning the reception taeir first shipments met with.

Su8, $69, and 870 for cash; a few shares were placed forward for May and June at equivalent rates; at time of writing, however, a sudden weakness has set in, and shares are obtainable at Sus cash; the approaching settle- mentsin Shanghai most probably account for this temporary weakness.
