SHANGHAI, 25th June. (From Messrs. Noël, Murray & Co.'s Piece Goods Trade report.) Considering the manner in which dealers have been buying during the past three weeks it is not surprising that we have to report a lull in the market during the period under review, but at the same time it must not be understood that there has been no buying or no intention to buy. Dealers have bought sufficient quantities of 8.4-lbs. Grey Shirtings, White Shirtings, and Fancies to supply their apparent requirements and are only
debarred from continuing operations in American Goods by the delivery demanded by sellers which would land goods here too late for the Northern markets. Against this there has been a marked improve ment in demand for Heavy Shirtings, and the sales reported show but a small percentage of the business actually done. This applies more particularly to 36-in. 12-lbs. Goods, for which the Korean market is chiefly responsible, and it must be a matter of pleasure to importers to know that this small kingdom which has caused, and is now causing, much political talking isnot quite dead yet. The market, though not buoyant, can safely be termed firm and for the medium qualities of 8.4-lbs. Grey Shirtings in stock, and not already sold, small advances may be reckoned upon. News from the outports continues satisfactory. Advices from Tientsin may appear easier, but exchange has recently been in favour of the northern 'dealers, so clearances, in consequence, have not shown any falling off. Reports from Newchwang and the River porta are better, while those from Chefoo and Ningpo are encouraging. From Szechuen there is no change. Clearances, all round, are very good.

Metals. (From Mr. Alex. Bielfeld's report).- 26th June: Generally the market has continued quiet, very little having been done in new Metals or in Sundries; in fact, as regards Sundries stocks are not moving off as they should, indents are scarce and even at auctions no interest is shown, it being difficult to obtain even reasonable bids. A few lines have been booked in Scrap and Old Metals, but with those exceptions there is simply nothing moving. Stocks generally are heavy. In addition to those items mentioned in my last the following contracts have been booked:-260 tons Old Cart Tyres 82s. 6d., 100 tons Steel Plate Fire Insurance.-Hongkongs were placed, to Hongkong, at $325, and there are now shares offering at 3371, also to Hongkong, without induc- ing buyers to come forward.
