SHANGHAI, 18th June.-(From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade report.)- Since writing our last report settling-day, the fifth moon, has come and gone, but beyond being counted one day of the week it has not been included in the reckonings of the Native dealers, who continue to show great confidence in the position of the markets. Buying has again been tone, on a liberal scale, but at the close there are sigus indicating that dealers are beginning to think they have bought enough for the present, and it is possible the market may be quieter for a time in consequence of the large settlements, noted in our last, which were made for autuma delivery, and it remains to be seen whether the native buyers have made a proper forecast as to- the course of the market or whether by waiting is inuch better, and to judge from the prices News from Tientsin they could have done better. ruling there dealers must be doing very well on their recent purchases. It is rumoured that the smaller dealers had some difficulty in getting their goods on to the market owing to the opposi- tion of the more influential bongs, but an amicable arrangement bas been arrived at which seems to Clearances please all connected with the trade.

to this port have been large, especially of Ameri- -can Goods, and the manner in which dealers are preparing to pay for gools, expected shortly, ought to please importers. Advices from Newch- Wang, Chefoo, and Hankow continue very satis factory, but from Szechuen they are scarcely so good owing to the usual spring floods in that

district.

Metals. (From Mr. Alex. Bielfeld's report). 19th Jane The frequent rain of late has kept dealers indoors and added to the general dulness that has only been relieved by a temporary brisk demand during last week for Scrap Material. New Metals continue neglected and I have no contracts to report. There is some enquiry for Spelter, and none can be had locally, but buyers do not seem very much inclined to order by wire. In nailrods. nothing has been done. Scotch are quoted at £6. 55. Od., c.i.f. Sohier Exp. and other Bar Iron is Belgian brands at £6. Us. Od., c.i ̧f. also quoted at £6, 6s. 6d., c.i.f. One sale has been made of Bare, special brand, at £6. 168. Od., c.i.f.

JOINT STOCK SHARES. HONGKONG, 23rd June.-The market has ruled fairly active during the week under re- view, but rates have in most cases slightly declined. A sudden stop of the demand for shares in Shanghai, which has been our chief buying element for some months, is chiefly responsible for this weakness in rates. The approaching settlements also seem to be having
